Speaking of mp3, I am afraid no one will say that they have never heard of it.

Even if you are not an mp3 user, there are ubiquitous advertisements, advertising activities in the city, discussions between friends and the Internet. Rich resources, these always give you a little impression, right? For trendy youngsters, especially friends who like music and friends who like digital devices, mp3 is probably a word that should be talked about every day, but what is mp3, how to determine mp3 sound quality and what is good or How can I listen to high quality mp3? ? ? I think the following article can help you solve many doubts.
Across current mp3 users, the generally accepted standard for production is eac recording + lame compression. Those who are experienced in such production process will figure out some tricks and use different parameter and parameter settings for different music. The compression ratio varies from the standard 128kbps to the maximum of 320kbps, but what is the difference and the difference in effect between these bit rates? ? How is the most suitable compression ratio, which one should be better for cbr and vbr etc. These topics are often discussed by everyone. Let me share with you some of my feelings.
The repertoire selected for this test is the first track of Bach’s “Grandenburg Concerto”, performed by the Munich Bach Orchestra, eac track capture software, cd’ex compression software, fooba2000 v0.8 playback software and listening earphones are er6 from Intech and e3c from Shure. Because the classical repertoire is very detailed and the band is large, the requirements for all aspects of sound quality are relatively high, so it can clearly reflect the difference in detail between different processing methods.
I first grabbed the track with rac, and then used the lame mp3 encoder (vision 1.92 engine 3.92) engine in the cd’ex software to process the wav file. I tried the lick parameters one by one to choose a good effect:
The first thread priority parameter selects the highest and lowest respectively. When other parameters are equal, the compression comparison shows that the degree of thread priority has no effect on the sound. The generated files are all the same size, and the comparison sounds the same, so these parameters have no effect on the sound quality.
The second parameter is the version, which can be selected between mpegI, mpegII and mpegII.V. Similarly, the other parameters are determined and these three options are used to compress three times. After listening, although the file sizes of the three methods are all the same, but the actual listening feeling of mpegI is better. The mid-low frequency compression ratio is a bit smaller, but the high frequency distortion is a bit more. It is more suitable for listening to human voice and pop music. It is also good to use mpegI type to listen to classical music, the sound background is better, but if it is solo music with a lot of mid and high frequencies like violin, it is recommended to use mpegII.v type, which will have better results.
