FLASH: re: Eva's SiteCheck/Sound

[Gahlord Dewald]

Eva,


Very pretty! I bet it would be even better if I knew how to read Spanish!


Re your sound:


When you use MP3 compression (or any compression based on lowering the khz)

it will _seriously_ screw with the top end (the high pitches). Certain

instruments will be more affected by this than others.


Basically the more overtones a sound has (the less it looks like a pure sine

wave and the more it looks all jumbly) the worse it will take compression.

Percussion sounds have very complex sound waves, in particular cymbals and

snare drums. Other instruments (clarinets, guitars, a clean vocal tone) are

much closer to a sine wave and compress a little easier. That's why the

guitar/organ sound sounds alright but your snare/cymbals get turned into

mush.
