Well, this may not be unique to RC2. I believe this is the first time I have noticed it. It is definitely the first time I have vorbis encoded this song. Try encoding They Might Be Giants - Istanbul. Go to offset around 50 seconds. It should say "Maybe people just like it better that way." However, the maybe is pretty bassy (low pitch) and is just gone. Anyway, RC2 is so much nicer at 128Kbps than MP3's are (sans some of these pitch issues). Nice job everyone!

Are you sure this is a bass problem and not an increase of treble? Have you done a blind test on this problem? At what bitrate does it disappear? Do the tuned versions (http://sjeng.org/ftp/vorbis) also exhibit the problem? -- GCP --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

That wouldn't even scan properly, in the poetic sense. Even old New York Was once New Amsterdam Why they changed it I can't say People just liked it better that way Are you sure you hear a "maybe" in the original (.wav) file? -- Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody." greg@wooledge.org | - The Red Hot Chili Peppers http://wooledge.org/~greg/ | <HR NOSHADE> <UL> <LI>application/pgp-signature attachment: stored </UL> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Sorry. I should have double checked. Apparently, I have heard two versions of this song. The one I have now slightly has that maybe, but it doesn't show in the lyrics and it is all but invisible. You get the same amount in the ogg vorbis file. My most humble apologies and again, thank you so much for giving me a rocking alternative (and smaller file sizes) to mp3. And no, I don't pirate. Just like having to not deal with disks when at my computer most of the time. Trever P.S. I am not on the list, cc me if you respond. <HR NOSHADE> <UL> <LI>application/pgp-signature attachment: stored </UL> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
