that's probably the best quality you'll ever get!
perhaps an un-mastered version then mastered specifically for dubplate might sound better, but i doubt there's any noticeable difference.

some people say its not worth cutting .mp3s, but i disagree. i've got some 320s on dub and they stand up to the .wavs on a rig, no doubt about it.

about what?
yeah, 320s via dubplate sound fine on a rig to me, what do you reckon?
and if a tune's been ghetto 'mastered' by the producer, you'd be best off getting an unmastered copy, and letting the engineer work with that.
i'm not being stupid am i? :?

are you saying don't cut 320's, but cut something that's been mastered badly? that's pretty contradictory :!:

Its all in the mix

Whilst wavs are better i would always prefer a well mixed 320 mp3 over a badly mixed wav.It might be more cost efective to get a good relationship with a stateside studio because since sept 11 all goods going into the US do not always arrive unopened but if you insist on cutting in the UK then pm me.
