Hello.
I wonder, is it the case, that there is some lack of amplitude in the low frequency range in MPC, which again make the hights more present. Or is it just my imagination, when i tried to test this i was encoding some albums (new) from R.H.C.P, perhaps not the perfect samples to use, since the latest albums from them are poorely mastered. But i don`t get the right feeling , i get the impression that the development on MPC, have been focused on the upper/top frequency range. We all agree on MPC beeing the best lossy codec i think, but with a quick look at a spectrum meter, shows more amplitude on a vbr lame. Do i imagine this, or is there a issue. @muse |

This is most likely placebo. I never heard that MPC suffered from that kind of problem. Since MPC is transparent in most cases (for an average person) this should have been heard of before.
Also, I think I've heard that winamp's equalizer (if you are using winamp) should be disabled for some reason when playing MPC's. But I guess someone else with better knowledge regarding this should explain it more thorough. |

@muse,
If rule number 5 in the terms of service is not clear enough, by making the statements you've made, you indirectly claimed that there is a difference between Musepack and other codecs which don't have the same problem as Musepack, as you indirectly claim. This is a clear violation of rule number 5 and exactly the type of discussion it is meant to avoid. Consider this a first warning. Thank you. |

Hello.
I just need to say that there always a possebilety of lame to add more "colored noise", that makes it sound different. Anyway, my findings was after decoding, and for measurement i used spectrum view in Wavelab. Do you guys have a reference to a program i should use.! I am not so into audacity, (which got flac,mpc,lame support) I just can`t get a propper view of it in audacity. Will decoded snapshots from WA. do, or do you guys wan`t views from encodings, within audacity(CEP). @muse |

@muse:
Read Seed's post again. You need ABX results. Graphs aren't worth a damn thing when it comes to psychoacoustics. You don't know if the noise you see on a graph is audible or not. Use your ears and not your eyes. Provide ABX results that confirm that you can distinguish the MPC-file from the original. edit: typo |
