This is obviously so we don't treat him like he has some sort of forum addiction and he has to inject ten posts a day to get off or something.

If we can't force the post count I put forward the notion that we just treat him like we have no idea who he is

The first one seems to have a little more high end... but I'm listening on earbuds so who knows.

very interesting results here, I'll reveal what was changed some time tomorrow

 

[ParsonsMatt]

I think we've established that the difference is extraordinarily small, can you just go ahead and tell us the difference?

 

[Williamn]

can't listen right now.. but did you run it through some nebula programs or something ?

 

[John_C]

Well if people really want to know, i guess 16 people is enough.

Stengah 2 is the original
Stengah was taken down from 16 bit to 8 bit.

Yuppp

Just for the record I am in no way suggesting that 8 bits are enough or anything stupid. The noise floor is so much higher, much much too high. However, the actual audible difference in quality is pretty damn small.

I had a feeling it had something to do with conversion, given our recent conversations - at least I feel somewhat vindicated with my observations, but jesus what a subtle difference, especially since it went all the way down to 8 bits! Of course, with more dynamic, acoustic music I'd imagine the differences would be much more noticeable - cool test dude! (for what this n00b's opinion is worth )

 

[John_C]

I'd say if 1 is 100%, 2 is like 95% (and that's being conservative).

sorry man, you got it the wrong way around

I did the whole thing quite selectively. With just solo guitar the difference is totally noticeable, but on a whole mix of full bore metal very few people are gonna tell the difference

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

Wait, so 1 was the 8-bit one? FUCK

 

[Pxz]

I wonder if the difference will be so small if the entire process if recording the instruments was done at 8bit instead of just converting down a finished mix

10 minutes listening through akg heaphone and behriger truth, can' tell the differnece, sometimes my brain telling me that the 1 is a brighter, after a few minutes, 2 is brighter lol ,i really can't hear the difference
