There have been times when I have not released tracks on the internet
because I cant get them to encode properly. Especially when you have a low,
extended kick, and maybe a quick hihat or something going at the same
time... it sounds terrible. Has anyone experimented with windows media?

yup, u r right,
it all has to do with over-compressed mastertracks, which then being
converted to mp3 formats, sound bubbly & distorted bass-less.
The compression-algorithms can't handle the squashy compressed
stereo-wav.
I realised it by converting own, compr. trax to stereo 44.1kH mp3 format
& it sucks...

Just a general MP3 related question: a lot of MP3's I'm listening to
are distorted, either at the top end which clips, or the bass which
just goes "bbsshhh" - and looking at the actual curve, it makes
standing squared waves.
Presumably this is not due to the extraction, but comes from the
original source - is it because people use huge compression on their
sound files? Is there any way around it? Even if I convert my own
CD's to MP3, I cannot predict which ones will come out distorted
(and many do). Selecting the "normalize" function does not seem
to help - sometimes it even boots the gain.
