Guest Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Must say that Jackie Mittoo thing is very infectious, that pulsating beat sort of grabs me, not huge on Ska/Rocksteady but have always admired the Studio One things i've heard. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Btw your rocksteady mix is playing slow, what program did you use? It could be because of the compression the program is using. link I know, I just asked for a bit of help, trouble is, it plays perfectly on mine then when I send it up, it's gone slow. I recorded it as a wav on atomix mp3, then used advanced mp3 converter to resize it and make the mp3, settings were min bitrate 64 max bitrate 320 sampling rate 44100 this making sense to anyone? Are they incorrect settings? yesterday my northern mix played too fast but today it is playing at the right speed! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 settings were min bitrate 64 max bitrate 320 sampling rate 44100 this making sense to anyone? Are they incorrect settings? yesterday my northern mix played too fast but today it is playing at the right speed! think you have to encode it at a fixed bit rate. go for: MONO sampling rate: 22050 constant bitrate: 48kbps Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 yeah not bad i might be convinced yet link I have a few like that but they need a bit of digging out. What I really wanted to publicise was the rocksteady stuff, not the ska, because I find the group harmony sound absolutely awesome - they are very influenced by the likes of The Impressions.
