Bio:
Welcome to the Daug House.
No commercial posturing presented, no radio rehash, no FM flashbacks or pop remakes. I favor certain kinds of harmony and structure my experiments here to suit exploration of those sounds. Listen to a couple of tunes, and you will hear the difference...

Audio Compression and Your Daug
Quality digital audio data takes a lot of hard disk space to store.
MJs admin stores thousands of songs. Without audio compression MJs is not viable.
Do the Math Daug
To sample a one-minute tune and store it on hard disk, CD quality, a normal sample rate would be at 44.1 kHz, stereo, with 16 bits per sample.
What does that mean? 44100 Hz means 44,100 values per second streaming from your CD-ROM (or input file). Okay…
Because you have two channels, left and right, multiply by the input total by two…
Multiply by two again because you have two bytes per sample (i.e. 16 bits per sample).
The one-minute song will take up 44100 samples/s x 2 channels x 2 bytes/sample x 60 seconds/min Mbytes equals about 10 megabytes of storage space on your hard disk, for each minute! You just did the math!
Why Do I Care Daug?
We all use the Internet, given an average 28.8 modem, it would take you about 10,000,000 bytes x 8 bits/byte / (28800 bits/s) x (60 s/min) or about 45 minutes. Just to download one minute of music! That will never do at MJ!
Digital audio coding is the process, casual engineer types will say, "digital audio compression": is the art of minimizing storage space (or channel bandwidth) requirements for managing audio data.
Modern perceptual audio coding techniques (like MPEG, Vorbis OGG, AAC) were devised based on an understanding of how humans perceive sound. Take a second and think about that… Code gives higher fidelity to the parts of the sound that we hear most clearly, and will simplify the parts of the sound where we humans are less likely to notice the difference.
Compression, making use of the smart compression techniques on uncompressed audio, can reduce a file to about a twelfth the original disk space, without any “noticeable loss” in fidelity.
Engineer’s ears and musician’s ears are not the same….
This process can compress music further and further, if you are willing to put up with less and less fidelity.
Every mass media event uses a form of compression. Compression is the technology for high quality low bit-rate applications. Soundtracks for CD-ROM games, solid-state sound memories, Internet audio, digital audio broadcasting systems, and the like all use the same idea to compress the data.
Program users are asked to specify the "bit rate". The "bit rate" refers to how much data is needed to represent how much sound. Read that last one again….What is bit rate?
If less data represents each second of sound, then the sound quality is lower. Also the reverse, if more data represents each second, the quality, the fidelity, will be better.
We are almost there and you are doing great…
An MP3 encoded "at a bit rate of 128 Kbps"
(common compression rate) represents each second of
sound using 128,000 bits -- Regular ears hear FM radio
with good reception as about this sound fidelity.
I Still Don’t Care Daug
The same sound encoded "at a bit rate of 64 Kbps" will
mean each second using half as much data. The sound file will be half the size of the 128 Kbps and the audio quality, the fidelity, will be lower.
Is the music file "half as good"? Naw, Your ear compares this fidelity to the quality of a copied cassette tape. Hard to say a copied cassette of anyone’s song sounds good.
Okay here it is…
I have been trying to find a way to provide ensemble
Jazz quality audio for the listeners at MJ and I can’t
get it done.
So, this is the last post of my jazz material.
It doesn’t mean I don’t love you Mjers, or I am angry with MJ or anything at all like that…
Of course, it is selfish and arrogant, stopped a couple more emails there I bet, but it is about the music.
Creating a song that fits under the 20mb buffer used at the MJ is not hard. Creating a jazz ensemble piece in my style that is smaller than 60 MB of Logic compressed audio is not possible at the level of compensation provided by MJ. So, I am saying I won’t share anymore of my material with you at the fidelity made available through MJ.
I am no going away though, who else will keep the clique honest?
I just wanted to let you know what was happening…
