DISCLAIMER:
We will just start off with the fact that the file HAS to be encode to MP3. This is not a replacement for the wave file but as an addition to. So please no comments on lossless VS Lossy. I get it, I don't do lossy....ANYWAY...............
I am using Sound Forge Pro v10.0 to do wave to MP3 encoding. Encoding MP3 at 320 Kbps. I see that there are options for Stereo & Joint Steeo. And under Joint Stereo are options for M/S and Intensity Stereo. What setting will yield the best results. And as best I mean most accurate. Original file was 16/48, resampled in IZotope Rx advanced to 16/44.1. I was just gonna set the MP3 to stereo but then I found conflicting info on best results. Any insight would be great. Thanx, Kirk
