Recommended quality of digital acapella for pro DJing?

I promise you, although many people will tell you go 320kbps, I have absolutely no problems with 128.
Anything Lame encoded at 128 would need a trained set of ears and a very good hifi system to tell the difference between it and 320.
Your gonna be playing on a PA system to drunk people!
For piece of mind encode everything at 192kbps. Anything more is just at the cost of hard drive space.

Finally someone with a little sense! I’m always extolling the virtues of the OGG Vorbis format and its great compression/quality/size ratios but some people are like "Whats the point with todays MASSIVE hard drives". I come from an era of computing where 2Mb system RAM was huge and a 120Mb HD was monsterous (and would set you back £500!!). As you can imagine efficient use of space was always something to be considered and that line of thinking has stuck with me. I just see it as a huge waste to simply fill up a hard drive with massive files simply because you can, especially if theres no real, appreciable benefits.

+ 1 for it almost doesn’t matter. As long as the tunes sound straight to you, proabably no one is going to be able to tell you’re using .mp3’s at whatever rate, or .wavs…

I sometimes don’t even hear the difference between vinyl and digital. If you’re playing good tunes, that’s all that matters.

Should you play anything below 192 my ears will probably pick up on it (if the sound system is of decent spec)…..especially if it’s at 128kbps…it is (for want of a better word) gash.[/quote:2808b24b]

Ha!

Guy, if you were in my audience, you’d be in Heaven…

No entiendo nada que dices…

Just a chunk of WTF?!?!?

Nothing more, nothing less…

But after reading more into the Juggs, I think I might understand a bit more…

But still…

Que?!

go to no extreme…take the middle path…128 should keep you happy … peace

hello, any bromide bought this Macbook pro on amazon?
i want obtain it from amazon,anyone can accord me some suggustion?
Thank you!.

dont worry too much about the quality since you’ll be playing live….

320kbps is recommended, you cant really hear a difference between that and lossless at hojme but on a club system you start to here it a bit it’s said.
