Of course, properly made mp3s tend to sound better the more sound data we leave in them - but not all codecs are created equally, even in the 'mp3' arena. :(įirst, the term bitrate is a measure of size per time, nothing more. I'm sick at the thought of how many of my songs might be ruined and a lot of them I won't have unaltered backups for. I really like Sound Forge and hate to have to start using two editors or going with something else totally. How on earth is Sound Forge saving my mp3s at the wrong bitrate, yet having the same file size? And if it's the same filesize, how is more frequency information missing that what should be? In most cases, the file sizes are the same no matter what editor I use.

Every single one correctly re saves or converts to mp3 and the spectrum analyzer shows a much greater amount of frequency range in the mp3. So I began to download various freeware editors and even a video editor.
USED SONY SOUND FORGE AUDIO STUDIO 10 320KBPS
When I re save an mp3 in either version of Sound Forge, my spectrum analyzer says that it is in fact 320kbps but the frequency information reads more like it is 192kbps. So just to make sure you guys understand what I'm saying. I began to notice that when I looked at mp3s that were created by Sound Forge, the spectrum analyzer would show that my mp3s were identified as 320kbps yet the frequency graph shows that they are a much lower bit rate! This is beyond bad because it is possible that I have messed up tons of mp3s and songs that I edited and resaved. Sometimes I will just give older songs a volume boost with the SF limiter. Sometimes the source is WAV and sometimes it is mp3. I will often use SF and FL Studio to make my own remixes or edits of songs. Recently I started using a spectrum analyzer to look at the mp3s that I DJ with.
USED SONY SOUND FORGE AUDIO STUDIO 10 PRO
I have SF Audio Studio 10 and SF Pro 10.Īnd recently I discovered something very troubling and I'm pretty unhappy about it because I think I'm going to have a lot of further disappointment ahead of me. So I have used Sound Forge for at least a decade now.
