I'm a bass player, I admit it. I came across a number of people talking about bass response with Ogg Vorbis and it piqued my interest, I live for this stuff. I am using the Ogg files to distribute songs as converted right from the 32 bit masters. This is a much different thing than ripping a 16 bit CD audio file that has been mushed and compressed much before it winds up as an Ogg file. When converting from a 71 Meg wave file to a 3 Meg Ogg file, there is a very slight drop in the real low end. Most people would not notice this or would not have equipment capable of noticing this. As a music producer who is also a bass player, I am real happy with the low end fidelity I get with Ogg files. I have been using Sound Forge 5.0d as a conversion tool, it includes libvorbis of 2-25-2001 (beta 3). So check out what I am talking about. I have just remixed a bass feature that is a song called "Where Have You Been", it's song number 11 in the Songs section of modernamericanmusic.com I would encourage anyone interested to stream the MP3 file or download the Ogg file from there. If anybody really wants a copy of the 32 bit, 71 meg Wave file master, contact me directly. --- >8 ---- List archives: xiph.org/archives Ogg project homepage: xiph.org/ogg To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
