| Not to my knowledge, all MP3 is very ugly. Here's a quote from Warren Ross (hope he doesn't mind me quoting him) on Glenn Meadows mastering board. It shows the lengths some will go to, to improve the ... |

I've been using the LAME encoder in Wavelab. I'm making mp3s of my field recordings to place as streaming audi files on my forthcoming 'blog matrix' (an i ... |

I'm looking for an mp3 encoder suitable for acoustic music.
128kbps, ideally.
Any suggestions? |

Many thanks. This is very helpful. I'll probably go with gin for the bliss. Bombay Saphire has at least an appropriate name.
You know, it took me ages to realise that you were replying to my pre ... |

I've recorded a few sitars since 2004, with varying degrees of success. Here's some advice you might find useful.
Personally, I think there is no need to use more than one mic, or a coincident pair ... |

As I have it playing the bird calls, the 'Album' cover scrolls through with each different call playing. Nice and handy for teaching kids about different birds

For vocal, I use an oldish AT-4033. No bi-directinality there.
