Topic: Help with lossless recording

[bryonsos]

I accidentally uploaded 2 shows to LMA last week as 24 bit filesets. They stream fine. xACT will create flacs and checksums just like TLH.

My method of working is a follows...

When you finish recording at a concert...there is one file...for all the songs are on that one file...do all your edits for sound (compression, eq, normalize) and export to a 16bit file...

Next open the 16bit recording (still one file with all the songs) in CDWave...which is a application that cuts that huge file with all the songs down into separate files for each song...it creates a third copy of the recording but now there are lots of smaller files...one file for each song....

Then compress to Lossless files...open Traders Little Help and add each song...click the button for "Create Checksum File" (this is what tells the program that extracts the compressed files it was successful)...now you have a fourth copy of the show as compressed 16bit FLAC files

Upload to Archive.org and it will have a player for to stream the files...I THINK that if you put 24bit files up on Archive.org it is just a storage area and will not stream the players for easy playback

I record, process, export, track and upload in 24-bit now. Archive will derive mp3 from 24-bit files. I have a similar workflow to Hypnocracy, but I tag my flacs in foobar2000 with the live show tagger plugin, then I make a checksum file with Trader's Little Helper. I think people appreciate the tags. I certainly like it better for playback.

This is why TS is so awesome...you learn something new all the time...

Does this mean I should record in 24 bit bwf format on my dr40?

Recording your Master in 24bit 48khz is pretty standard...everyone got excited about 24bit 96khz but I think unless you have unlimited space it is a waste...it takes a FAST computer to edit them too...

[oldjoe38]

So you recommend I set my recorder to BWF 24 bit 48k?

Yeah 24bit and 48khz...the 24bit will give you all the head room you need...48khz is compatible with 96khz so in the future when we get the next generation of CPU's and Hard drives it will not have to be resampled

[Hypnocracy]

Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology there will not be a mathematical interpolation that creates samples like there is when 48khz files are exported to 44.1khz

Yeah no need at all for BWF.
