Getting Started With Bash This Recording

Why no myspace? Do they do some evil compression on the files or something?

No offense, but listen to a song on Myspace and try to develop an opinion about the audio engineering. It's impossible. The mp3 compression they use is okay for trying out a new band, but audio engineering decisions are a giant guess.

I see what you mean - I'd never listened to a myspace page with my engineers cap on

Yeah Myspace and Purevolume both mess with your mp3's. It annoyed me when I would upload songs and it wouldn't sound good.

Hey all, I have a song that I need to be reviewed.... however, Im not so sure how to turn the song into an mp3, it's in wav form right now ( can I get some info on how to do that? I use Pro tools 7.4. ) and it doesn't seem to have to volume that it should. Also before I post it should I try to bring up the volume on it? Well Hell.... Im not sure how to do that either but I will try if need be. Thanks for all your help. Sorry for being such an idiot.

Keytone,

As far as I know most mixing tools (for example Cubase) or something like Wavelab have an mp3 encoder build in. To use this, go to Export and Mixdown or something like Save As (depends on your program) en look for the mp3 extention. I'd go for the 196 kbs or even 256 kbs, stereo and a sample rate of 44.1 or 48.0.
The encoded MP3 is easily posted on this forum using the Attachments screen.
If your program doesn't have a function like this try downloading a MP3 encoder, should be easy to find.

Bringing up the volume could be as easy as using the normalize function in your editor. If not (if you have large volume peaks in your wavefile) you enter a whole different ballgame which is part of the mastering process (using a limiter but you''ll get to that some other time). If normalizing doesn't produce the right volume, don't bother and just put in on the forum. We'll just have to crank up our speakers, but for you we just might do that

Good luck and looking forward to your post.

Thanks bro, I will check it out and see what I can come up with so i can get bashed (lol...)

Greetings all, from
Pounamu, I will not list the gear I have or have not got it is surprising what you can do with a tin can!
I get into whatever sound I have in my soul at the time, am an avid composer and worry too much over poise and intent with my music. I find the 2000's an exciting time for me with the availability of sound changing gear. In saying that, for me there is no substitute for a great sounding guitar.
Best

How about an "Other" category for the other types of music that are not covered by the present categories?
