If there are fidelity losses with this vs. converting back and forth amongst higher bit rates or sample rates I've not noticed them. But perhaps my 'ear palette' is just not refined enough to detect the difference. In any event most of my music is heard by the 'bengay crowd' (my church congregation) and 8 bit would probably suffice :-) -- Sue Morton "Glennbo" <vdrumsYourHeadFromYourAss(a)cox.net> wrote in message news:Xns9DB35763E7CCDBrownShoesDontMakeIt(a)81.169.183.62... > The killer robot "Rick Paul" <rickpaul(a)earthlink.net> grabbed the > controls of the spaceship cakewalk.audio and pressed these buttons... > >> Yeah, but it's best to keep 64-bit checked for the engine, and for >> any >> other uses where you are creating intermediate files where you want >> to >> preserve full resolution.

The best way, by far, is to record everything at 64 bit 96KHz, and *then* run it through Izotope Trash (or Audioease Speakerphone), to sound like it's running through a megaphone. ;-) This way you'll get a true 64 bit quality megaphone sound. Then you can add Vintage Warmer if you want. This is the secret to sooper high quality soundz. -- =========== John Braner jbraner(a)NOblueyonderSPAM.co.uk http://cdbaby.com/cd/JohnBraner http://www.soundclick.com/johnbraner
From: Sue Morton on 13 Jul 2010 23:17 I care :-) Interesting test. I'm a little surprised about VLC but then how many people use VLC to play 64-bit stuff? I would guess none. (har har har) My favorite 'lightweight' linux: Mint. Not so light on features.

It's a pisser that their site doesn't support all their files properly. I think VLC phones home too much for essential files. Now I'm starting to feel like doing the geek hack dance in Linux to make VLC give me my propers. :-P -- Cheers, Ben |
