peanutbitter [OP](08/07/2015) [-] Apparently I can't with the video editing software I'm using. I was calling it high quality compared to the original, but I can see how the title can be misleading

cormy (08/07/2015) [-] I wouldn't say I'm an audiophile, but after years of downloading things for free, I learned what's good and what's not.
It all started out... WITH YOUTUBE RIPS. THE WORST POSSIBLE QUALITY FILES YOU CAN IMAGINE. Only through experience and research did I figure out the errors of my ways. Then I went to random downloads that people uploaded, which often turned out to be youtube rips themselves... So I had to go deeper.
After lots of trial and error I found certain sites that were far more reliable than others for downloads, as some of them kept being destroyed and/or demanded I register to them, which I refused to do. I brought up my standards, only demanding the best mp3s of 192kbps (CD quality) or higher. Youtube hosts CD quality and the youtube ripping sites have gotten significantly better but it's not good enough anymore.
The next step... Was detecting the lies. There are files encoded at 320kbps but the sources for those files were originally 192kbps so although the 192kbps quality is encrypted better, it still doesn't surpass the range of your average 192kbps mp3 file. This is detectable through spectrum analysis like in the picture kuchikirukia uploaded. As you can see, the range cut off is 15kHz. A 160kbps mp3 can easily reach that and the human ear is very much capable of detecting 17kHz. Good ears can even reach 20kHz but you're gonna have to be in a perfectly sound-proof room with high volume to hear that.
Audacity has spectrum analysis so you can download that for free to check your files easily enough. Pretty much everything starting from 192kbps upwards can hold the "full" range of a song, up to about 22kHz however the quality of the encoding increases significantly with higher bitrates and ESPECIALLY with variable bitrate, in which a file is encoded on a sample per sample basis, depending on what's needed. This allows more bitrate to be used for the more complex/higher parts of a song and less for the simple crap that doesn't need it. MP3 was originaly intended to be used in variable bitrate anyway so this love for constant 320kbps that everyone has is retarded. Variable 256kbps is significantly better.
ANYWAY, get Ogg Vorbis whenever you can, unless you want to go lossless in which case FLAC is fine. Remember that CDs and CD players do not have decoding software so it needs to be in RAW formats like WAV when you put stuff on there, I highly recommend using Winamp for all your audio stuff, VLC for video and Irfanview for GIFs and pictures. Websites to download from: Pleer.com and myfreemp3.biz
Occasionally the authorities crack down on certain songs really hard and you won't find them, in which case you'll have to resort to torrenting. ThePirateBay rotates between 6 domains, I believe it's currently on You need to login to view this link and You need to login to view this link
μTorrent is a good Torrenter, just remember to turn off your torrents if you don't have unlimited internet, seeding can make you go over your limits if you leave it on endlessly. If you have unlimited, you may want to turn it off anyways when you're streaming/gaming 'n' **** , keep your lag down.
As for teaching you to audiophile... You really had to read **** . Besides bitrates, sample rates are also really good, as is bit-depth. Standard bit-depth is 16, standard sample rate is 44.1kHz though 48kHz is easy enough to find, especially in videos. I don't suggest looking for higher numbers in those but it's good to make sure your files are at least at those standards.
Besides Pleer and myfreemp3, LivingElectro and Zippyshare are good places to find remixes and more electronic stuff.

garymotherfingoak (08/07/2015) [-] sweet, thank you for the tips.
I agree that youtube rips can be asbolute **** depending on what you use. I have the only known copy of one of my favorite remixes (since the author had a big episode 1 night and deleted all of his **** , online and offline), but i used youtube-to-mp3 which downgrades quality significantly.

I reccomend this site for leanring how to audiophile. it's the preparation site for the private whatcd tracker, but except for the rules, this has everything you ever wanted to know about digital music and it's proprietary formats!

thatonesmartdude (08/07/2015) [-] Nice to know it's actually a decent song and not just some weirdo chuckling and trilling.
In other news, that guy's smile is rather enticing. inb4 "no homo" & inb4 "all the homo": I'm bisexual, so 50% homo.

thatonesmartdude (08/07/2015) [-] I can almost always be aroused by an attractive woman, but I can also be aroused by a man if he's damn cute or if I'm extremely horny.
I can be aroused by either, but I don't necessarily get an erection.
I am transgender (female brain in a male body), so I do currently have a penis, but my discomfort (both physical and emotional) with getting an erection has made instances of arousal to very rarely cause an erection (less than 10% of the time). Usually, I'll get just enough of a partial erection to suffice for masturbation, and what I do with my hand during my masturbation technique resembles clitoral stimulation.
When thinking about my sexuality in the context of being transgender, I asked myself which sex I'm attracted to. I almost immediately felt that it was unfair to make me choose, but then I remembered that being bisexual is a thing. Plus, being bisexual makes the semantics simpler: If I like women, does that make me heterosexual as a male body that likes female bodies, or does it make me homosexual as a female mind who likes other females?

thatonesmartdude (08/07/2015) [-] I'm afraid I'm not familiar with this term. What does it mean to be pansexual, and how does it differ from being bisexual?

thatonesmartdude (08/07/2015) [-] Seems too subtle a difference to warrant a distinction.

anon (08/09/2015) [-]
I think the term pansexual also refers to attractiveness. It's more of the personality of men and women to be the desirable instead of the body. You can still be attracted to someone physically but it is not the desired part of a significant other.
But then again what do I know? I haven't researched this. I remember watching something on family guy about it.

ninjafaggots (08/07/2015) [-] I honestly can't tell if he's just singing very loudly and moving the mic away or if he's stopping and moving the mic away to give the illusion of the theory I mentioned first. If it's the second I feel like that takes ridiculous skill. If it's the first.....it's still really ******* cool
