192kbps MP3s on a big sound system?
Are 192kbps MP3s of a high enough quality that they can stand up to playing
on a monster club sound system? I've heard recommendations of a higher bitrate but would 192 suffice? TIA. |

YMMV. |

YMMV. How exactly will you tell the difference? Will it just be poor quality or will there be any unwanted "effects"? |

Both. ------------ Alex You all must go to pretty fancy clubs where everyone is quiet and the music is played softly enough that you can even understand what the singer is singing. The acoustics in most clubs combined with the ambient noise makes for such a poor listening experience to begin with that I doubt anyone would notice the difference between an MP3 and a CD. You might notice a loss of bass with some tracks though. |

Last time I made some mp3s I used LAME and tried various bitrates until SWMBO said it was ok. We settled on variable bitrate with a minimum of 128kbps. -- Roger. |

I think you or anyone else would be very hard pressed to reliably tell the
difference with any competently encoded track. (enough weasel-words there?) Mark Z. -- Please reply only to Group. I regret this is necessary.

just my 2cents worth but
vinyl still offers the best sound in a club environment, in terms of impact and depth. i've seen mp3 dudes drop sets after vinyl ones, and seen the atmosphere vanish and people leave the floor. mp3 sounds a little thin for big club tracks - just because something has the same SPL doesn't mean it has the same 'bounce' still, all things being relative, if all the other djs on the night play mp3 too, noone will ever notice... vib ps. if you're getting paid to dj i hope you're buying the music you play and not just kazaaing it karma is a bitch ; ) |
