is there anyway to improve said 96kbps using music software?

If anyone can, me love them long time. The poor quality robs it of the good peak time shit.

Crazy how the DJ Inc. set is 192kbps and Howells is half that. I actually found the DJ Inc. set last November except it just said Howells warm-up with no identifier.

don't think i'll have time to convert 'em all today to 320. i'll check back later. if anyone wants to do it for themselves and or post them here -- this program works very well for formatting purposes. it's free and easy.

Surley there's more to it than just increasing the bit rate. If you increase it from 96kbps to 320kbps will the sound be any better ?

Re: Danny Howells @ The Crescent Room Atlanta 7-10-03

yeah. idunno, i will try part 1 of this, and see if it does or not.

it's works well for the ableton mixes i make tho. wav to mp3.

Re: Danny Howells @ The Crescent Room Atlanta 7-10-03

It's funny cuz in parts the volume sounds great but goes in & out for most of the set. Thought my headphones were crapping out at first. A drink and a cold beverage to who can fix this.

No it won't.

Increasing the bitrate wont change anything except just wasting more hard drive space for the same quality.

If it is already compressed (mp3) you cant do anything to it to improve it. What we got is what we get.

If it was FLAC or a WAV (Lossless), then yes, converting to 96 or 320 yeilds massive sound difference.

With that said, converting the 96 to FLAC or WAV, then converting that to 320... it will be the same quality as what we started with (96).

Re: Danny Howells @ The Crescent Room Atlanta 7-10-03

k thx. scratched that then.

always wondered this: is it impossible to improve compressed audio? and why is that so?

i would assume they got the capability by now. our technology is still pretty weak tho, they need to invent something that can improve it somehow in the future. ffs. haxxx

Re: Danny Howells @ The Crescent Room Atlanta 7-10-03

Agreed DDR. It's a real good set on the first listen, but I don't think it touches Redlight or Cranberra for his best in 2003 imo.

What are the chances of uploading the Redlight and Cranberra sets you speak of my good man?

Sampled audio is just that. Its not the entire original version, therefore when you try to resample something that is already missing parts of the original, you just in essence sample noise. In electronics terms an analog signal which is curved like a "sound wave", is as true as it gets. when it gets turned in to digital it is "sampled" in to a square version of the beautiful curvy version.( think square peg round hole) This "square version doesn capture all of the curve's beauty)
Now think of something that has been recorded in 192kps. If you try to sample it again in 320 or wave, you will be unsuccessful because you must have something to fill in the gaps. Once it is recorded, the quality cannot be increased as of now. things may change, but I'd love to see how.
