Lossless Formats

[Eggbury]

when i record a recording onto my computer what is the best format to save it on my pc as, so that it is lossless unlike mp3's?

any help appreciated

Save it as a wav file mate, if your recording direct from mini disc or a CD, then burn the them as waves, and take out the 2 second gap. And you will have a lossless cd :) (unless its sourced from an mp3 cd :\)

Also no need for the PM, someone will help you as soon as the topic is read mate, be it me or someone else. I get far too many pm's to reply to them all, thats why lots of people use this forum to help others :)

haha sorry, its just that i had a recording from my mini-disk waiting and i wanted to save it before it screwed it up. wav files are huge tho arnt they?

[Watson]

yeah, thats what makes them lossless mate, its the best way to do it. Copy them to wave, them burn em to CD, and you got a copy on yer mini disc, and on CD

:D

quality cheers, what i done is recorded them, not saved them and burnt them to a cd, frequency going nice and high :)

my cd player dosn't like it at all tho

[Watson]

best to rip it to the computer and sort it out :)

[Eggbury]

yeah i got it saved as wav's now. still lossless :)

my cd player dosnt like playing it, its got a weird noise on it in the background. but my computer plays it fine. strange

its only 4 tracks. 511mb lol

You did burn it as an audio file, and not as data yeah? that may be yer problem, if not then I aint sure, mabye yer CD player is too good, heh, sound weird but my old CD player that I had in my Living Room didnt play some bootlegs, but other CD players did.

Same with weebrians cd player decks, they dont play some cd's that are burnt at a high speed

Try lowering the speed, if you done it at max speed

thats weird, i will try it on the other cd players in the house in the morning, if not i will burn it differently. i burnt it straight off of adobe audition
