I think you've misunderstood some things.Sio2 wrote:the stuff these guys are playing aint 320 & when you turnit up it sounds all fuzzy and then when the next guy plays and puts real vinyl record on, the clarity and DEEPness is so much better.
I find vinyl has been mastered differently than an Mp3 also. Often times the track is mastered by the artsist, the label & the manufacturer so when the vinyl actually gets into my hands and on the sound system turned up... the sound is always better rather than from a suspect Mp3 from a suspect Dj.
There are essentially two types of illegal mp3s.
1. Vinyl rips, done by people who own the vinyl and then uploaded to the internet. These can be any bitrate, but they're most likely to be encoded with the LAME encoder V2 or APS setting, which lands them at around 192kbps average. The mastering is the same as the source vinyl.
2. Webrips, usually 320kbps. These are first bought from legit download stores, then spread throughout p2p networks. These sound identical to the original file.
Basically you're throwing so many thoughts out there, it's kind of hard to understand what you're even saying here.
EDIT: I had this thread open from earlier then posted this, just now noticed it's grown to 5 pages, so sorry if someone's already pointed this out.
