Do Higher MP3 Bit Rates Pay Off?
Posted 04/20/2007 at 12:47:15pm
As a professional theatrical sound designer and engineer, I am regularly asked to accept mp3s from directors and dancers. Maybe not on headphones, but on LOUD concert and theatrical sound systems the compression can certainly be identified, even with variable bit rates. Additonally, editing is not accurate with mp3s. Casual listening, in the car or on headphones...fine. But for any other use give me 24-bit 96 khz!
