quality tips
does anyone here know any good tips on how to play lower quality bootleg shows at a better quality? i once saw on a forum a real long time ago about changing the kbps level.
Changing the bit rate won't change anything about the quality. Maybe using foobar2000 and using the DSP filters to change the sample rate (ie, hz) on lower sampled audio tracks (32 khz, 22 khz, etc) to 44.1 khz in "Ultra Mode" would probably change the perceived quality slightly. But I myself have noticed that VBR 2 on LAME is a pretty good compromise between quality and space. If you listen to the track in lossless (FLAC, WAV, etc) and then listen to the mp3, you'll probably notice a slight difference in the high ends, but if you've been at a few AC/DC concerts, chances are you won't. I haven't been to any real rock concerts so I've still got my higher end of hearing.
ok i think it was the sample rate, its been so long since i read that forum topic. ill play around with it later on.
