I'm interested in audio compression
and thought why search for hard to encode audio samples why don't you just make one yourself so I came up with one sample which I made using my cheap rhythmtrak-323 from zoom which I bought like a monthago its based on a drum loop plus lots of percussion just jamming together so anybody wants to try it please do so I dont have good ears nor good headphones so I can't test how difficult encoding this sample and now my actual question are there any musicians here specialising in hard to encode samples? and finally just by adding many instrument overall bitrate goes up giving you hard to encode stuff am I right? or are there specific instrument which is hard to encode? I really need some help I wanna contribute to this wonderful HA society you know any help,suggestion,advice,tips everything is welcome i'll up the sample in a minute thanx -------------------- Groove Masters

QUOTE (iLLBeaTz @ Apr 18 2004, 02:38 PM) and finally just by adding many instrument overall bitrate goes up giving you hard to encode stuff am I right? Adding more instruments doesn't neccessarily make the bitrate go up. With more overall sound, there are also many more places to hide the noise introduced during encoding. A general statement like this can not be made. Picture this: you're looking at a wide open plain with just a single tree on it. That tree represents an instrument or a specific sound and the plain with everything that's on it is the signal you want to encode. Now along comes your encoder and chops up the tree. Since that tree stands out so much, you will instantly notice if it changes, so the encoder has to be especially careful. On the other hand, you might also be looking at a whole forest. Again your encoder comes along and it has to chop up the individual trees real bad, because of limited storage space. But from your viewpoint you still see a whole forest even though the trees have gotten quite a beating. It could also happen that large patches of the forest have been completely removed and that would surely catch your eye. The thing is, it is hard to tell in advance. QUOTE or are there specific instrument which is hard to encode? The harpsichord has often caused trouble. It combines transient with highly tonal signals. Even in that case it will depend a lot on how it was recorded and post processed. Also keep in mind that the codecs discussed here were designed to compress audio content and not the signal of your remote temperature meter. |
