A CD is recorded at 1411 kbits vs an MP3 at say 320k. So the MP3 is compressed. That means leaving some of the data bits out. It's really amazing because I have done listening test with people using various systems and none of the listeners could guess which was CD or 320k MP3. Essentially that is the point where our ears just are not good enough to pick up on the difference. One key factor here is to run a program to check to see if the MP3 is indeed recorded at 320. I see many sites recording at lower rates but marking them as 320. When we get below 320 some people can hear a difference. At my test we all struggle as 256k which was also very good. It was at 192k where I could hear a difference. Bass was not a tight and the highs at dropped a little. Yet I could still use the 192k files at my bar gigs since folks there don't really study the sound. I would say to never use any that are less than 128k. Even a drunk can hear the difference! For guys playing on big sound systems I would suggest WAV files which are large but they are lossless. There are some DJ sites offering these files. You can also use software to rip your files to this format. FLAC is also good. I should also add that there are some CDs that have been mastered poorly. Look out for that problem too. At the end of the day, do comparisons, use your ears ...
Mp3 file format is a compressed form of the full WAV file used on CD's. Kbps is a reference on the level of compression the lower the number the higher the compression and the more source material is lost, for example if you were rip a CD at 128kbps you will hear a drastic loss in quality vs 320kbps. The file size will also be smaller at 128 vs 320.....This is why FLAC and WAV lossless audio files are ofter 20mb to 50mb in size, vs 128kbps Mp3 which is about 1mb per minute of music.respect💯👊
When using a software such as Serato to DJ there are many factors to consider. Depending on the type of equipment you’re connected to your software is going react differently due to the sound card being used.
I learned something here with the 320 bits. He is right because notice, on the new songs that are releasing in todays world that clapping sound the we love and use to from the expander is nul and void on those songs. However, playing songs like the foundation tune as we call it, those were recorded on a slower bit rate, so the expander will have a bigger impact on those tunes. Never too old to learn. Wallie you out do yourself again with this informative video. Not everyday it has to be about the physical sound this is the real deal to make your sound play in the right manner Great video me boss.
Love the work Godfadas in the business. Just something for a thought, I may be wrong. The x32 recommends -18 maybe because of having so many channels. Like a analogue mixer, if all those channels are to be used simultaneously, there will be a more intense signal coming from the x32 and likewise the likelihood of any one or more of the channels having peaks that may go in the clipping region. And for our traditional sound systems, we are mostly reproducing recorded audio through a few channels vs using live musical instruments and vocals that can have unpredictable peaks. Just trying to reason it out. Thanks again.
Absolutely brilliant Might action & guess because I like the expanded knowledge Peppa brilliant both of you Do both come together again Full support from Corey aka mr platinumprovocateur from uk 🇬🇧 London England You both have to do it again Wally I took on board everything from advising on playing the double 18s correctly on my 4 channel amps remember Brilliant and I shall be making more small adjustments. Yourself & acid also Fred Tate great insight
Frequency with mili volts goes through your XLR cables. Noise is being generated by the power supply of the equipment the higher the quality the better the circuitry. Less ground noise.
Keep the computer out of the red The DJ mixer board don’t really distort until your pushing it way up in red the only Time I ever hear distortion is wen the loptop its self is playing in red
Big up might action... Just want u to check what working the meters saying to be sure of the number that the level should be.. 0 db is a different level to dbu or dbv. The meter would mark to show which scale it is using...
Wally….big up yourself but listen to me iyah I done with skool long time enuh iyah and most time I watch your channel mi haffi a get book and pencil and a take notes,,,,, Cho,,,, Jah jah thanks for the info general I have learnt so much I appreciate the work your doing I look forward for the information you provide.
320 is the best quality of any bitrate (meaning u could hear a pin drop in the music) more defined than the lower bitrates such as 120. Expander is better noticed when you play low quality bitrate music that's why it was originally designed for cassette and vinyl. So with that said if you play 320kbps an Expander is useless but keep in mind 320 files take up 3 times the file space as 128 which is the normal mp3 file. Wav file is also good quality but takes up alot of space per song as well. 👍🏼✅️🔊
We use 16 bit wave files - if not a wave file a 320 mp3 - I have noticed the CD are sounding pretty crisp too as I run a cd player and of course you can’t beat the sound of analog vinyl when running sound we rip vinyl to 16/24bit wave file using the Evermix box for the I phone - I feel the 320 mp3 is the most versitle for sound but use what you got or what you think sound best for your sound big up all sound tho from the U.K.
320kbps is so rich and heavily compressed that it doesn't have does define signal that expander would use to create the expansion (high points of the signal that would be expanded by the expander). Therefore the majority of the audio signal gets caught in the expansion then cause distortion. It's like just instantly turning up the whole signal too far. That's my understanding.
320 is actual less compression,Kbps Stands for Kilo bytes per second the difference between 128 and 320 is just how many bytes has to be processed when the song is being played back, a byte is equal to 1000 bits and 1 bit is a four digit combination of zeros and ones...this is the language computers use. The advantage of mp3 was only to make file sizes smaller as hard drive space was at a premium back in the day...a full CD in the store could hold 700mb in wave format, while mp3 compression could play it back using 70mb, of course quality was lost in this process..👍
No. Pisces from Lucea was owned by Jimmy Malcolm, he owned the Esso gas station across from the sea wall. Mr Malcolm passed away couple of years ago, the sound packed it in long ago.
I will put up some clip in my review videos but the full video will be on the DSA TH-cam channel. We also working on doing a live streaming like we did for the festival. So keep your fingers crossed
Yes I think so with a good engineer you may can achieve something super close to an analog bassline, But will need other equipment with whatever drive rack you using.

Exactly
The second mixer is not only for the preamp, but for some additional as microphone/ processors and so on. It also for a backup incase.
True
Question to you might Action have ever come across a sound by the name Holly wood International outa Maryland?
Keep the computer out of the red
The DJ mixer board don’t really distort until your pushing it way up in red the only Time I ever hear distortion is wen the loptop its self is playing in red

I’ll try to not have you writing down as much in the future.
Can’t promise you that though…

I think all bitrate are good form 128 up but with now a days systems 320kbps is definitely the go to bitrate for powered and full range applications.

Good episode. Wally, who controls the sound earthquake? Original quake from 80s was owner Punchi
Yes punchi sold it to Murphy and Murphy sold it to Kiddimus… as far as I know kiddimus is still the rightful owner
@MightyAction wow news to me bredda. I clash quake in civic center in those time ,they had to rebuild n forward again.

Respect fi dat bro
Respect ✊- keep making these videos showing us lads how to do sound - we learn a lot ,
Gd information,I feel using a scope will show more😅

lol 😂
Peppa what about your amp?😂

Is Pisces the original sound from Lucea, Hanover JA ?
I know they have a branch in JA but I’m not sure where
But this one is the one in Maryland but I believe they are all the same people
No. Pisces from Lucea was owned by Jimmy Malcolm, he owned the Esso gas station across from the sea wall. Mr Malcolm passed away couple of years ago, the sound packed it in long ago.
@@ganjafarmer1572 yeah kl I know Jimmy I grew up in Esher .
I know he passed a while back always wonder what happened to the sound .
Please for your subscribers please put up some clips on your channel of this event 3 minutes a sound
I will put up some clip in my review videos but the full video will be on the DSA TH-cam channel. We also working on doing a live streaming like we did for the festival. So keep your fingers crossed
Pepper right the mixer not even supposed to play later than five o'clock you long time sounds man it's no different
I
Think it’s best fi jus use wav instead a mp3
True, but wav files a big it will take up a lot of space
Wave is still the best but space wise not a good choice in MY opinion.
What makes sounds that doesn't make noise a nosie you a makes
Good one lol
I
Can a digital sound system give you the same heavy base like that of katarock or bass odyssey sound system
In my opinion yes
Yes I think so with a good engineer you may can achieve something super close to an analog bassline, But will need other equipment with whatever drive rack you using.
Just was going to ask that how you play your at 12 o'clock and play the mixer in red
I
320 better quality
That’s what I’m saying
I’m watching unlearn
Thanks for the support 👍🏾
