What is a 320

[caeraphym]

I remember buying a Qproject 320 off of beatport a while ago and it was a recording of the vinyl release

record pops and all that

renegade hardware one?
i know some of the dnb labels who couldn't find dats of originally or cds ripped from vinyl for some of their back cat

Especially likely for cuts like Champion Sound, lol, it's older than some of the young folk posting on here ffs.

Just to clarify, when I export a song out of Reason as WAV. then convert it in itunes to an mp3, what am I ending up with exactly?

A 120/160 bitrate mp3? Or does it automaticaly change it to a 320?

In the settings, you choose the bitrate of the mp3, then right click- convert to mp3.

am sorry but when it comes 2 iTunes i done know much lol
where is the setting for choosing the birtate i checked and could not find it

itunes doesnt use lame codec if i recall and does shit to "enhance" your original wav i recall reading somewhere
i'd avoid that piece of bloatware

hmm so what is the best way then?
i here people saying use a lame encoder but have no idea what that is or how to use it!

I don't buy shit from itunes store, but their free tuesday tracks sometimes sneak aboard, they all come in at 128kbps. Fuck knows what they come in at if you buy from them, I'm still a big fan of having tangible and tactile media infront of me, be it vinyl, cd, or cassette.

I just found that quote above on a forum and it made me think I was possibly missing a step in terms of getting the best quality file.

The quote just means, afaict, that converting a 128 mp3 to a 320 mp3 won't improve the sound quality - if you want to get 320 quality then you want to encode the 320 from the original wav.

[slothrop]

Btw, there are about a bajillion free wav to mp3 converters out there, and apart from the choices of bitrate and codec no two of them are any different in terms of quality.

think you need to dl latest version of lame for it (free) but it is covered in the faq
you can also do cbr encoding
just render to wav then encode to mp3
