Convert CD quality Mp3 to DVD quality mp3
-
Ok. I know what you're talking about.Originally posted by About A GaL:Firstly i am not a gal, a guy. But i had tried it and i could hear a difference in the sound..... Anyway u can check out this link

Just find out that my explaination is a waste of time. We are looking at different perspective.
Lesson learnt. :
Hearing difference in sound = DVD quality.

No, must be my creative inspire 4.1 very lau yah.Originally posted by About A GaL:Got hear any difference?

Burn into DVD, not CD hor and test it with your DVD player.
Should have difference liao. The DVD makes the difference.

actually you can . . .especially when you are listening to full orchestra. Mp3s usually tries to focus more on the base and mid range and chop off the high. So there will be scertain instruments or chorus that you will find either too faint, or virtually non existant in an mp3.Originally posted by caleb_chiang:Even can, you wouldn't be able to spot the difference with your ear... Just like you can't spot the different from CD quality wavefiles and your compressed mp3... -
Any guys tried the method i told?

Let us acknowledge the substantial cost of this upgrade to studio owners. We have all made huge investments in gear at the 16bit 44.1KHz standard only to have to do it again with 24 bit 44.1KHz. This upgrade at least had the practical benefit of greater dynamic range which translated into extra headroom for processing as compared with the delivery format. The 96KHz upgrade actually does away with this benefit! Consequently, 96KHz seems necessary as a studio upgrade only if it is accepted as a consumer format

Audigy 2 is 24-bit right? If yes, I'm in it too...Originally posted by ditzy:Who here owns 24bit sound cards, I want to see a raise of hands!
Aiyah...not possible to make MP3 sound better than cd one. The 44KHz and 96KHz thing is just a the number of sound-wave-level 'blocks' it can store in one second of music(think of it as converting the line graph of original soundwaves into little sections of bar graphs). Higher the number of course make it clearer and more refined since it can record more of the little waves within the music. But there's no way to make it sound better just to upgrade from 44k to 96k. The program will just scale the sound wave level in each 'block' accordingly. If it's possible, then we could have convert cassette tapes(it's still cassette tape quality even after putting the music into a CD) into damn good quality audio liaoz...haha -

have u tried hands on? I tried it and it sounds betterOriginally posted by teekh:Audigy 2 is 24-bit right? If yes, I'm in it too...

You have fantastic ears, we normal folk don't.

Haha...anyway that's why in the end, all sound systems(ie speakers) still need this thing call DAC(digital-to-analog converters) to smoothen the 'bar graphs' into 'line graph', since speakers can only read and play line graphs of music(ie music is recorded with point A, point B and point C; when the speakers 'move' frm point A to C, they of course have to between the points in the course of the 'journey', so hence the need to convert digital to analog.Originally posted by ditzy:Now that's the explanation we're waiting for.
Essentially, there's no such thing as 'digital' music. Digital technology is useful because it is more efficient in recording, easier to transfer from source to source with no loss of quality, and helps to prolong the shelf life of the recording.
This is unlike cassette tapes, where the method is simply to record it into analog format directly, and hence the magnetism in the tapes will change over time, resulting in loss of quality over time. Any duplication also means that they have to 'record' the recording again, resulting in loss of quality(Digital duplication, on the other hand, is just as simple as duplicating the writings of 1, 2, 3 on a piece of a paper on the other with the same 1, 2 ,3. -
Like someone stated earlier, MP3 cuts off certain parts of the sound.U should use a good pair of headphones and test with the same volume throughout. Not with speakersOriginally posted by ditzy:You have fantastic ears, we normal folk don't. -
It's actually just a placebo effect.Originally posted by About A GaL:have u tried hands on? I tried it and it sounds better
It's just not possible to make an inferior recording into a superior one. Yes, you would probably here a difference between a 44kHz recording and souped-up 96 kHz one(due to the fact that the DAC have to 'work' more for a 44kHz one), but it does not mean in anyway that it is better; It's just different.
The only possible ways are to edit the intricate soundwaves manually by yourself, or something like 'white-noise' removal softwares, so that it sounds cleaner(without the noise only). The music otherwise retains the same quality -
Would you sponsor us and me normal folk a good pair of headphones?Originally posted by About A GaL:Like someone stated earlier, MP3 cuts off certain parts of the sound.U should use a good pair of headphones and test with the same volume throughout. Not with speakers -
It is not a placebo effect la, u should hear the difference, convert your old mp3s to 96KHZ wav and compare with headphones.Originally posted by teekh:It's actually just a placebo effect.

Hearing a difference does not mean you are hearing an improvement btw. At best. it's just a different interpretation of music waves by your sound system.Originally posted by About A GaL:It is not a placebo effect la, u should hear the difference, convert your old mp3s to 96KHZ wav and compare with headphones.
If you still insist on believing you are hearing better quality music, then so be it, as long as you are happy with it. No harm done to me or you anyway....
