Richard M Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 In regards to recording Vinyl to Mp3 what's the best program to use for High/Best Audio Quality Recordings etc etc... ??? Variable Bitrates... Ogg Vorbis etc... etc... any recommended websites etc etc... ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nato Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I use Sony Acid for recording. Records to wav then I use a conversion program to pop to mp3. There i can choose bitrate, force quality rather than speed etc. There is probably heaps of good recording software out there, this is just the one I'm familiar with.

Sect Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 well. hehe, I hate this topic, but this is what I suggest. Encode all your mp3s as 320s, which is a bigger file size to a VBR but many argue that they sound better and retain a bit more of the spatial infomation/sound stage. I use this to convert files, and I'm happy with it. Not sure what your recording with, but even something like an early version of soundforge will do you a good job.

Richard M Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 I've got Live for recording, only just got the fcuker workin... YAY! Just unsure on bitrates and variable bitrates and all that other technical shizzel??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nato Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 WHen converting to MP3 set to 320kbps for best quality, agree with Sect - has a big influence on final "sound Stage". As for variable bit rates I set to 0 on my mp3 converter which ensures as accurate a conversion as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kritical Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Definately 320 kbps with no variable bitrate... I learnt the hard way.. encoded lots of stuff then tried to play them back through Virtual DJ (similar to Vinal scratch and Sarato) and the quality is appalling... I'm almost tempted not to encode at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bLazem Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I use and have used for about 4 years or so now Cool Edit Pro 2. This software is great, and is easy to use. It has a MP3 encoder and u can encode / save audio at any bitrate u want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 search for audiograbber if you want something for free I love that program. You can encode at full quality as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
