Sony_Fan Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I've noticed that if you record in Hi-LP and have the treble all the way up it will sound almost the same as Hi-SP with the treble only 2 notches up (from the center). Also, the bass seems heavier with Hi-LP. I wish the bass frequency was 80hz instead of 100hz!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Low Volta Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 check these forums for a thread by greenmachine on equalizing... he discovered that lowering all bands 1 or 2 notches actually creates a richer bass than when raising the lowest band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Low Volta: This is normal for an EQ like this; the lowest and highest bands are not shelving filters, they are notch filters just like the rest. The net effect of lowering all bands will be a wide cup-shaped curve with peaks at the very bottom and top [and possibly bumps where the bands overlap, depending on how high the Q of each filter is]. Chris G:You must have pretty strange hearing to find HiLP and HiSP to be similar. The difference to my ears, even EQ'd, is night and day. But hey, whatever cranks your engine.

MDGB2 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Even with customised EQ settings you can't avoid the artifacting that comes with Hi-LP.A more direct comparrison would be MP3@128kbps or below. Whereas Hi-SP is almost identiacal to the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Also you can't easily compansate for what's not there (high frequencies) by adjusting the EQ. You'll just amplify some artifacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Cat Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 BTW does anyone know if Hi-LP is joint-stereo?I've heard Atrac3plus 48kbps is, but is the 64kbps too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cilia must be really worn out.Edit: Sorry, I mean my eardrums must be really worn out or else my cilia must be hyperactive. If I'm going to throw anatomical terms around I ought to get them right!
