whats with the dubstep scene's obsession with "320"

Post by constrobuz » Tue Mar 17, 2009 8:03 pm

dont you guys know that v0 is better? v0 tends to peak at ~240 or something anyway, so i'd rather have 256s than 320s. dubstep tracks are unnecessarily long anyway (i made a thread about that but it mysteriously disappeared), a 2 track dubstep digital release shouldnt be fucking 25mb. i'm not made out of hard drives here.

v0 is not better, its more lossy than 320.
There will not be a huge difference unless its played on a large soundsystem.
If you prefer v0 use v0, why make this thread?

even audiophiles who have most of there music archived in lossless format and have ridiculously expensive audio equipment agree 320 is overkill.

also its not as simple as "just use v0 then" because conversion from lossy to lossy results in loss of quality. also my issue is with file size, not quality (that doesnt mean i don't have a problem converting though, i do... god damnit that was a poor sequence of sentences).

That is totally false I frequent a few audiophile sites and 99% of them won't listen to anything but Flac or Wav. You are typing nonsense.

obviously i was speaking in terms of .mp3, not every audio file type. reread my post, i even say the audiophiles have their personal music in lossless.

I was waiting for someone to say that but it's called Lemon so I had no choice except to remix it...it's the citrus way.
