I Lead You Towards Glorious Times is live?
I did not know that. Clearly that had an impact on the sound quality. |

The Garbage excerpt: OMFG, is that really on the CD like that? Even when zooming in on the waveform in my audio editor, I can hardly see any dynamic structure in the waveform. It looks (and sounds) like clipped pink noise.
This is the worst example I have seen so far. What are we doing to our music  Thanks for sharing! Chris -------------------- If I don't reply to your reply, it means I agree with you.

"I Lead You Towards Glorious Times" - now i get it.. that's the NOISE music genre, which is now taking over metal:( - actually..every music genre has been merged into the NOISE GENRE.
WHAT TO SAY? -> WTF OMFG also.. i'd like to add that in comparison to this: metallica's death magnetic was flawless in terms of audio quality This post has been edited by st@r$k!: Jul 13 2010, 22:33 |

So far "I Lead You Towards Glorious Times (live)" has been the loudest commercially released music track that I have seen. It is pretty close to white noise (not all Merzbow tracks are this extreme). The FLAC -8 bitrate of the sample is 1397 kbps.
Here's the screenshot that I posted in the linked thread:  The encoding settings FLAC: -8 M4A: QT --tvbr 62 --highest MP4: Nero -q 0.41 MP3: Lame -V5 It is also interesting to see the peak values of the lossy encodings of it. LAME produces a peak value of 2.73. Apparently the VBR encoders don't even try to achieve a more transparent result by radically increasing the bitrate. Perhaps some kind of sanity check kicks in.
