Does anyone know anything about the .flac format?

[hangtime]

how do you compensate for a low pass filter. the data in the higher frequencies has be cut to the point of most of the data not being there. boosting the upper frequencies or running an exciter won't put the original material back in.

I agree .Captain must have bad speakers or bad ears

 

[Liverslapper]

no one uses .ogg anymore anyways

game developers use it all the time, even consoles.

Doom 3 UT 2004 to name a few

Thats why they have good vbr encoding, so you don't lose as much to begin with. The filters bring forward some frequencies and mellow out others, basically like eq, but geared more toward specific tones.

I agree .Captain must have bad speakers or bad ears

Logitech Z-5500s, HT CLARO HTPC card, and in car, Pioneer Premier DEH-P690UB and custom speakers. Also, in November I had major surgery on my ears and my hearing is probably better than yours at this point. Carry on with your folly, this is like arguing with bible thumpers.

Edit: Forgot my comma.

IF ONLY OUR RECEIVERS HAD THOSE WOODEN KNOBS, THEN WE'D ENJOY THOSE FLACS

 

[Captain Beard]

ZING!

 

[RedKef]

I'll stick to mp3.

 

[Captain Beard]

lame encoded VBR please.

 

[Liverslapper]

aflac!

Fuck you Gilbert Gottfried!

Fuck you Gilbert Godfrey!

you may have posted BEFORE me, but my post is livelier!

Carry on with your folly, this is like arguing with bible thumpers.

Goddamn fundamentalists and their insistence that obliterated high frequencies can't be magically brought back from oblivion...

I seem to hear them just fine, must be YOUR ears and system that sucks. Or your encoder, or you download cbr.

Have you considered surgery and my setup?

 

[XtremeParanoia]

your logitechs only are rated to 16kHz so that could be part of the reason the mp3 format does not affect you

before anyone starts quoting their specs of 20kHz, that is not flat frequency response.

 

[Captain Beard]

So I heard you like wooden knobs and special cd player magnets that sit on top.

I also have a supersystem behind me and the car setup. You seem to be the peter-licking type that hates anything under $10000. You buy stereos to listen to the stereo I bet.

Also, specs: Frequency response: 33 Hz — 20 kHz

OH OH! ALMOST THE FULL HUMAN HEARING RANGE SAVE SOME ULTRA LOW BASS! SOMEONE DIDN'T RESEARCH RIGHT!

 

[Chromatose]

Oh man I bet you wish your speakers had a different range, then ubermensch such as these and animals could hear your mp3s were broke.


edit: my post broke, as well

 

[Captain Beard]

GOD FORBID IT WAS THAT LOW! Oh wait, most subs won't even do that, and we're not rated below 20hz in hearing! HMMM.

 

[Chromatose]

Much like how Joseph Smith found the book of mormon in the bottom of a magic hat.

 

[Captain Beard]

There you have it. Audiophiles who say FLAC is truly superior = silly mormons with magic hats. Thread over.
