mini mix from m

[Rob M]

get it, just thought it was good enough to post

http://www.users.on.net/~rmarko/beats/

don't bitch about the format. OGG simply owns when it comes to mixes online. Winamp should be able to play it or Foobar. reason for ogg(?), well the bass is beefier, and i'm no vego.

tracklist/ time (12:16m -- yes very small, but nice):
zinc - hear no evil (instrumental)
mist:i:cal - mistical dub part 2 (nu:tone)
ill logic and raf - lost in this
kaos karl k and jae kennedy - studio 54

disclaimer: all future mixes will be upped on this url


let me know what ya's think...i'm sure you'll dig this steve.

So how does ogg compare size and quality wise with mp3 format?

Oh, nice mix too.

[Rob M]

well the encoding rule for this was around 96kbps at variable rate, and the sound quality is like an mp3 at 160kbps which would yield a size of around 11MB+ if it was in mp3 format. ogg is like around 8mb...big difference

so near perfect cd quality is ok

also OGG doesn't screw around with any lossy acoustic filters like mp3 does ... or so i've been told...

Yo Rob, 160kbps is no where near cd quailty. 256 or 320, i know its only a mix and im not dissin just pointing that out.

Nice Mix BTW... U should hit us up with a longer one, i like ur selection.

Fents, i know about the insane bitrates that preport to be cd quality, I was merely commenting about the ogg format in the above statement, and not mp3 quality...but you may as well rip an AAC or MPC file if you want better quality than MP3 at that insane level. MP3 is not worth it past 192kbps. I guess it's size over quality when it comes down to that.

Thanks, mate...I have just encoded a 66min mix for ya's will be uploading it next week after New Years...I'll wait until everyone get's this current one...coz I have to remove it from the server later as I've only got 50mb webspace. The mix is 43mb ogg for 66min by the way

oh and steve. don't dis the mix. just because it was arranged in acid, doesn't mean it's not worthy of a listen. If you want, you can lend me your decks and I will blow your aural experience out of the window.

I can see it now on the news. "Young reveler at a pre-NYE bedroom mashup goes into a coma due to unexplained phenomenon. Man later recovers to be found with having an increased function in brain activity, but an inexplicable case of tourette's syndrome which upon he yells Grimey, Grimey every so often..."

ogg has me intrigued...

Encoder recommendations?

OGG is lossy, as is mp3, Real, Windows Media, etc. just a diferentway of encoding.

still, cool little mixtape

[Rob M]

sorry dude but in my opinion arranging tunes in acid isnt mixing
...why not use NATIVE INSTRUMENTS: Traktor DJ Studio 2?

ok I'll try next time, to appease you. But did you comment after listening to it, or not really? ...otherwise <<

anyway, I'd rather be physically at the decks than to try and mix on a pc...hence I prefer to arrange shit in acid like every other bootlegger out there

Encoder recommendations?

..and johnny, check out: http://www.vorbis.com/

shadow is right ... ogg is lossy, i heard it's got better handling of acoustics...don't ask me, just read the sites and numerous faq's or google it online ... but for online mixes, I know that ogg is making way for the best new streaming format in online radio. with icecast and ogg -- being better than shoutcast and mp3...go figure.

however i don't see hardware vendors jumping on the ogg bandwagon...because it's all marketing these days with mp3 and ipod

It's just an alternative like everything else.

That's called white label

...but yeh i know what you mean.

That's called white label

...but yeh i know what you mean.

no....a whitelabel release doesnt have to be a bootleg'd tune....
some1 correct me if im speaking wrong

No, you are correct, and some bootlegs have dodgy labels...

Bootleg doesn't equal Whitelabel
