I've notice some bands have different masters just for their myspace profiles. Does anyone have any tips/specific ways to master your tunes for the best possibly playback after myspace compression?

I'll bet this has been covered before but UTFSF helped me find nothing.

When I upload songs to my Myspace something in the conversion, data compression or a codec or something, does weird things to the recordings. But it's not all the time. Anybody know what's up there? Sample rate or bit rates or something I ought to change? Something I ought to convert to before uploading?

so, i've been learning as much as i can about recording over the past year (taking classes at the local college, subscribing to various magazines, and reading my butt off.) but I'm having a big conflict with myspace and their music player. does anybody know any possible solutions to help the mix for this other than using a different player.

Im just a beginner with the whole home recording deal... I have a lot of really close friends who know a ton about this stuff and Ive learned a lot from them but right now I'm recording some music for some people and Ive been noticing that my mix sounds pretty good through itunes and through other programs... through my stereo in my car.. headfones... radio speakers... etc...

Hi everyone,

Seems like everyone has a myspace page these days.
I tried to find one for Sebatron , but couldn't.
Do they have one?

I love my Sebatron vmp-2000e. I swapped out the tubes for mullards.
Very cool! It's working out really well for me.

thanks,

evt

I recorded an acoustic song and the song sounded great even after converting the origional aiff file to an mp3 and compressing the mp3 file to the size I needed.
However, since I'm trying to put my song up on "myspace", when I uploaded the file onto my profile and listened to it (the same exact file that sounded fine on my computer through i-tunes with no fancy effects or eq's)

Has ANYBODY had any luck with this? ...So hard to get a decent sound because of the piss poor conversion. But every now and then I'll hear something passable (usually major label)

Anyone find any techniques that work?
