[QUOTE="Chris Johnson, post: 92447, member: 975"] Re: Audio Files - best quality This is a really interesting discussion. I've been down this road many times. And while I'm pretty sure, on high end gear, I can always pick the lossless encoding, I have never met anyone who could pick a high bitrate MP3 from a wav in a real world scenario. (by real world, i mean typical average consumer kit). All MP3 encoders are not created equal. If you are a protools user, you should be able to hear the difference between the 'fast' and 'high quality' 320kbps MP3 encode options. Not to mention, in every situation I have actually had someone try to tell me that something should be a wav instead of an mp3, there have been literally dozens of other things that would have improved audio exponentially more than changing the playback encoding...
