No WAV or FLAC? Straight MP3...
Posted on: 14.08.2013 by Giselle Giffels
I'm finding through my little travels to get dem' tunes, that a lot of them straight up don't have any higher quality files.

Can I make do with 320kbps MP3's? I just don't want to go to a gig one day, play that out, and have it sound like absolute shite :/

It will be noticeable if you are playing a set, and another DJ plays after you with FLAC/WAV files. If you are playing solo, don't worry about it.

15.08.2013		well if you can't get it in a legit way don't play it.

simple

15.08.2013		Straight up, if you're playing at let's say EDC or some other festival, would the difference be blatant there?

I'd figure they'd have the best setups possible.

15.08.2013		192 is not a huge problem 320 of course is always preferred depending on sound system will it really matter

15.08.2013		320 is fine mate. my advice tho for gigs is not to mix up the qualities, e.g do not for gods sake play a 192 straight after a 320, it will sound worse than the new bieber album. choose a format and stick to that.

14.08.2013		Legitimate sources at 320 or wav doesn't gurentee good quality. Mostly holds true to older tunes
Alphonso Deitchman
14.08.2013		It will not be noticeable. Unless you reencoded your 320s from 128kbps files.

14.08.2013		Also if you have decent headphones you'll be able to hear the quality yourself when you get each track.
Olin Easley
14.08.2013		If you buy your music from legitimate sources, the quality will be as expected. If you don't, well, that's illegal and you won't get any help here.

14.08.2013		320kbps is fine. The only reason it could sound bad is if it was converted from a poor source.
