As you compress the performance into tighter and tighter files, the differences between the instruments shrinks. My joke is listening to two poor quality violins and one top quality one at the same time. It’s only when somebody switches quickly between the compressed and the uncompressed show that the difference is perfectly obvious, but you can listen to the compressed one by itself all day long and not realize there’s very much wrong.įraunhofer-Gesellschaft in their research to compress video found that they could, using the newer technologies at the time, separate the Stradivarius from the varnish. Most people can tell there’s something wrong with the show, but few people can tell exactly what. You can tell where the limits of MP3 compression are by compressing a high quality mono show at 32 and a stereo show at 64. Modern compression is sneaky and they can get one by you if you’re not paying attention. What are the fanciest settings, and best save format? My computer complained at sampling rates above the 192000 (in playback). This must be an old topic, and I am surely not an expert, but how do I capture the audio, save it to a file, and play it back so it’s exactly the same? What I am hearing is a function of the streaming data (online), the software playing it (not sure what Internet Explorer is using), and the speakers hooked up (those were the same at 1st play, and when Audacity was playing what it captured). Sounds about the same as played through Audacity. I saved as MP3 (options 320kbps…that made a nice big file). I play it back with Audacity itself at that quality rate, and there seems to be some distortion…kind of like being played in a bathroom with tiles on the walls. I played the nice Youtube video ( ) and recorded it with Audacity. I set the sampling rate under Quality to 192000 and used “best quality”. I set it to record from Stereo Mix (IDT HIGH Definition).
