Joint Stereo - HQ?

[Mel Brando]

I purchased dBpowerAMP Reference. I am ripping in secure mode using Fraunhofer Joint Stereo, CBR 320, Hi Quality. It sounds great !

Please:

Is dBpowerAmp using Joint M/S stereo ?

Is the 2 channel stereo data HQ ?

What does -b mean ? ( -b 320 -encoding= "High" )

Thanks

-b means bitrate.
I believe, by default, dMC makes the files joint stereo, but you can always click advanced and specify joint stereo or normal stereo.
What do you mean by HQ 2 stereo data?

Out of curiosity, have you tried the LAME encoder yet? I heard that Fraunhofer does better at converting classical music or something.. I might be wrong, and because I have not posted any proof along with this post, you don't have to trust me :)

Sorry, but I can not see the advanced tab for use with Fraunhofer.

Please, I would like to create a Fraunhofer STEREO mp3 using dBpowerAMP Reference. Is this possible ? How ? I am a registered user.

Thanks for your help !

I apologize, I missed the part in your post about using Fraunhoefer. Apparently there isn't a way to make a stereo Fraunhoefer mp3.

Do you believe Channel Mapper and Channel Count can help creating a Fraunhofer Stereo MP3 ? I am not very much familiar with DSP.

Thanks once again !

No it is down to the codec.

Thank you for your reply.

I am a registered user and I am using dbpoweramp Reference with Fraunhofer Joint Stereo at 320, Quality HI. As a professional pianist and DJ I simply love this method to produce a MP3. I am also very happy I can get composer tag ( extremely important to me) and Cover Art from the great AMG. When I compare the MP3 vs the original Cd, I still prefer the MP3, even with a very, very litte bit of reverb added ( This is what I feel with my Sony MDR-7506 headphones or my Yamaha HS50M Monitor speakers.

As a DJ, I use a very serious professional DJing program, where the developer says that I should never use Joint Stereo because the left and right channels can never be reconstructed as they should. He also says that for the best audio quality compared to the CD and dynamics for live DJ Dance music use, I should only use Fraunhofer Stereo at 320 ( never Lame), and if possible I should use the Fraunhofer version 1.2.0.63 because it was the best version made. I have this original version.

Please, Spoon, I love both your softwre and my DJing software and would aprreciate some comments.

Thank you !

I used EAC /Lame for a long time and I know that lot of people prefer Lame than Fraunhofer, but why Sound Forge, Wave Lab, Adobe Audition, Cubase and Pro-Tools use Fraunhofer ? These are professional tools !

Thanks for your post.

Perhaps, but also the savings that JS gives can be used to better store a 320kbps signal, ie there is more bits than if stereo is used.

I apologize. There is no reverb added. I was not all flat. Itunes was with the enhancer on.
