    in a Belgian fiestzaal

    hehe funny meeting u "c'est toi le mec de psynews quand-méme?" :lol:

     

    never would've guessed u were thirty though :P

     

    happy b-day old man!

     

    remember, it's a matter of perspective, so when u wish to see yourself as old, u will be :ph34r:

     

    don't let the world tell you who you are!

     

    ask yourself!

    DJing with MP3s!

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    IMO the problem is that Mp3s (even in highest quality) always sound/feel inferior to CD quality/WAV (even FLAC) when played at very high volume.

    I guess it depends on what kind of environment you are djing in and if you are satisfied by the sound quality yourself. (And maybe try to get WAV files, sometimes the labels offer them also directly).

    I also find it more rewarding to have a physical copy- somehow it lets me appreciate the music more and connect to it better. However if it really is a pain to buy/order psy in NZ and takes too long for your needs, the speed and ease of obtaining it online may be more important to you and makeup for it.

    Next is......which program do you intend to use for djing or do you intend to burn the files and play them traditionally (if you have equipment at hand)?

    Overall I think there is still alot of prejudice and disrespect for "lap top" djs, simply because it narrows the barriers of entry for djing tremendously , takes away some of the basic skills (beatmatching...) and automates many processes (cueing, music management etc). Also some people assume all lap top djs play pirated music:/ However in future this will surely change and become more accepted as people realise the possibilities and benefits these programs offer.

    hehe i've had the mp3-cd thing too, but let me explain

    ; i listen bizarre contact - love simulation in mp3 on my computer(192 kbit), a day later i lost the file so what do i do, i rip it from the cd burned one day earlier, and as i listen to it again (on the same speakers yes) and what do i notice? it really appears to be more in-depth, fatter, rounder, cleaner, crisper sound, surely something in the nero program. funny that it's just the same file but only ripped after burning.(i did not check level volumes option before burning!)

     

    question: do some cd burning programs add or diminish quality?

     

    for nero i'd say yes (add to quality, smooth them and gentle push) but i don't know for sure for other programs

     

    Oh noes...

     

    I agree that I can listen to some background music, like radio, or ass-shaking house/electro in almost any quality, but when it comes to the 'state of trance' I can't appreciate low-quality tracks with frequencies cut off.

     

    No high-frequencies and these dithered basslines... omg!

    i've already had 128 kbps tracks that sounded better than 192 or even 320 kbit tracks, with no ressy basslines or whatever, it all depends on how and with what it is encoded. mostly you don't know if a file has been reconverted from a lower to a higher bitrate. you need a very powerfull spectrum analyzer like the one in pro tools or cool edit pro to tell for sure.(if you know how to interprete all that shiet) (i've seen a super audio editor once, the price for just the software was over $2500!!)

     

    for instance on mac 128 kbps is considered 'high' bitrate while in windows 320 is the highest, mac just uses other convertors/encoders shiet who produce better results

     

    I'll tell you from my experience... spinning with mp3's just doesn't feel right... I prefer cd...

    to me as well, i've always spun with mp3 burned on cd or originals, i once had to do it with a laptop because of a burn-error (my cds didn't work :ph34r:) and it didn't feel right indeed, mainly because you have the hang of controlling eqs and faders, and you dont have the ability to control 2 or even 3 things at once(headbanging frustrating to a real dj), though if i never got the hang of spinning with cds and pitch/beatmatching, i guess i wouldve picked up laptop spinning quite easily, since its so damn easy to use (and u get spiffy fx in most programs+sample playback) for which u soon need an extra cd deck in an old-style setup

     

    Loosen up people, you drive many miles to god's forsaken place and you trouble yourself with such minor issue?

    haha, splendid man!

     

    i don't know everything about mp3's but isnt especially the bass cut off with the making of mp3's?

     

    if so with classical music there is less bass i assume so might it be easier to find the difference between wave and mp3 in psy than in classical (the musical type they used in the article referred to above)?

    mp3 encoding includes the 2Ohz-2Okhz cut + it also removes 'backdrop' noises so tracks become thinner and more linear, only these traits only become audible in the real low bitrates, let's say 128 kbps with an average encoder, but really these things do differ a lot from encoder to encoder, lame_enc (the most common) does a pretty good job and has even 128 kbps good for full playback, on a big installation this is nevertheless a no-go and 192 is the absolute minimum.

     

    conclusion: it's better to trust your ears and gut feeling on judging quality, and be very carefull of comparing material with eachother (knowing it's encoding/origin)

    is there a perfect album?

    1st infected mushroom - the gathering

     

    the first album i ever had, and i still think it's the best! :rolleyes:

     

    even after 6 years i've never heard anything that comes even close

     

    the last shpongle album was a solid piece of storytelling coherence though
