7/9/2023 0 Comments Mp3directcut youtube![]() ![]() If you want MP3 but you are not too concerned with file size you can simply choose 320kbps constant bitrate (the “best” constant bitrate and the largest MP3 files) or VBR-0 (the “best” variable bitrate). The high frequency loss from MP3 encoding is easy to measure but not always heard.* At higher bitrates/quality settings the most common audible artifact is something called “pre echo” that shows-up with transient sounds like castanets. I don’t think violins are particularly difficult to compress but I’m really not sure. However, I don’t know how the MP3 encider works. I am ASSUMING that I need higher quality MP3 for, say violins, than for piano (due to the higher frequency of the violin). I tried to read about it in Wikipedia, and understood most of the words, but hardly any of the sentences, so I need someone who DOES understand the issue to confirm that my higher frequency-higher necessary quality is correct.Ī different question: I listen to - and record - quite a lot of classical music. Actually, since I do all in WAV, I can export stuff, then re-import it as WAV, as long as export to MP3 is done only once, at the end.Ī different question: I listen to - and record - quite a lot of classical music. So I do all the work in WAV, and export at the end to MP3. Please, tell me if I am wrong: (1) I get my music at highest quality I can, and in WAV format (quality depends on the source: best from old CDs, not so best when I record from YouTube (I use Audacity recorder, and record as WAV) (2) I do all the trimming, adding silence, etc without exporting (3) I use Audacity to normalize/equate volume of perceived loudness, down to -18 LUFS (I think it’s Audacity’s default), no export yet (4) I amplify (with Audacity’s “effects” the volume to some higher level (usually I use amplification to 0 Db, so as to avoid clipping), and THEN I export the result into MP3. I think that thanks to the answers I got here, I’m all set to optimize my music quality. ![]()
