I came across an interesting test sample the other day while trying to compress some of my music and trying out different encoders. You can grab the sample in question from here: http://www.animus-facticius.org drone_clip.zip is a 9 second clip of the track where the artifact is most apparent, drone_short.pac is a 1 minute clip of track. The sample is from the song "Drone" from

Hello all, it seems that at least some of the points that make OGG Vorbis superior to MP3 will be eliminated (I still prefer OGG :) Roel VdB wrote to [MP3encoder] list: -------------------------><8---------CUT HERE-------------------------- I hope Gabriel commits Jons complete LAME Tag code soon to the CVS. The LAME tag would makes all CBR(>=64kbit/s)/ABR/VBR LAME files have +

After doing an informal (128k) listening test, I have concluded that I prefer Beta4 over RC2. The 16kHz low-pass on the RC2 encoder makes it sound like FM radio. Both encoders SEEM to have a couple of dB bump at 10kHz.

Hi all, I started testing the RC1 encoder at ftp://sjeng.sourceforge.net/pub/sjeng/oggdrop.exe (based on branch_monty_20010708) On the songs I have tested so far (not much :) I did not hear any stereo issues, but there are some very noticeable problems with the produced files. Songs without much high-end will suddenly have one when encoded. (you'd expect it the other way around) It

Hello -- I desperately want to start using Ogg compression on music I release on the internet, but I am encountering a fair amount of artifacts. I noticed some in beta4 and was hoping they would disappear with RC1. However, I've been playing with RC2 and I've still been banging my head into a number of problems. A majority of the music I make has long drones with a fair amount of spectral

you can write your own software mixer that can decode MP3 on the PS2 so I can't see why you can't do that with ogg, however, even mp3 is processor intensive and programers are not going to give up that much processor power which will decrease or detract from the rest of the game. However, I'm sure there are some people out there that have been able to work around this. Regardless, ps1

Hi, there. Although I'm not a hacker at all, I noticed an audible noise on Beta 4 encoded files. So, I'd like to report it here. I ripped and encoded 'A Day Without Rain' on the album with the same name By Enya into Vorbis using Oggenc and Oggdrop Beta 4 from the Vorbis site. (You know, she is quite an encoder-killer.) At all the bitrates, files encoded by Oggdrop had audible

You know it's good; I know it's good. I'm talking about Vorbis at 128 as it currently is in CVS. Please participate in a group listening test of various formats to show how Vorbis 128 has improved since RC2. I have prepared three sample music clips comparing Liquid AAC, MPC, pre-RC3 Vorbis, Lame, Xing, and WMA8, similar to the first test. Except I believe that this time Vorbis

For those who haven't yet seen this: EarGuy's Digital Ear (physiological model of the ear based on work by Frank Baumgarte) has just finished rating the sound quality of Vorbis beta 4 at 128 kbs using 30 random 10-second selections of music: http://pub41.ezboard.com/fr3mixfrm4.showMessage?topicID=33.topic Two samples on which the Ear says Vorbis performed uncharacteristically poorly

Hello, congratulations to the Ogg Vorbis team - RC2 sounds good. But... RC2 in 128 kbps mode seems to clip off all frequencys beyond 16 KHz. On the tracks I tested Beta 4 gave response even beyond 18 KHz. Some testings on a randomly chosen track: (other tracks gave similar results) Artist: Judas Priest Album: Jugulator Title: Bullet Train Beta4: 127 kbps, ~ 18 KHz (!) RC2: 132 kbps (!), ~ 16

I've been looking around for a tool to compare the quality of different audio files, didn't find anything, and so botched together something over the past few days: http://www.btinternet.com/~jfchapman/files/mcp.zip (Win32, 266Kb) It's just a small tool for playing up to 3 files simultaneously, with the ability to switch between the outputs to compare the sound quality (formats

Hello, I translated OggEnc (RC3) into German language. Nothing fancy. Neither Goethe nor Schiller. Could anyone please make a Win32 build? I don´t have a Win32 compiler. Sourcecode of modified files is available at http://www.metalunleashed.de/oggenc_ger.zip Just replace RC3 files with the modified versions. I hope this is useful for anyone. bye, Maik Merten -- MetalUnleashed:

Hi, <p>today, Winamp unaskedly notified me of a new release, v2.78. I checked the what's-new-page on winamp.com (it does only mention a few fixes and cddb2 support, not that I needed that) and downloaded the full install, hoping that Ogg Vorbis support is finally included. D'oh, since I installed it into the 2.77 install directory will all the plugins already installed, I can't

Hi all, I just came across the following page: http://r3mix.net In the "News" section there is a fairly negative critique of Vorbis; especially it is mentioned that Vorbis "has terrible masking problems". There is also a Vorbis-encoded frequency sweep which shows strong deficiencies at high frequencies, but I suppose this is due to the quite low bitrate of the distributed

Hi, does anybody know where I can find high quality samples that are in the public domain? It's a plus if they're samples that many codecs have problems with, because I want to use them for a blind test.

Hello everyone, I'm a student at the Universtiy of Delaware, and will be soon starting some research on the effects of lossy audio compression on speech sounds. I will be preforming test with both mp3 and vorbis. First of all, if I use the '--ogg' switch to lame, does lame use GPSYCHO to encode the wave, or some other psychoacoustic model (perhaps one designed for
