1 Aliasing?
Written by Joshua Wentz, on 09-19-2008 13:36
I'm noticing a lot of aliasing in your mp3s... is this a result of a really lo encryption rate for your sample files, or are you trying to mix your bass drum track too loud, maybe? I like what's gong on musically, but it's hard to listen to these files. I'm not a sound engineer so I don't have a lot of advice on this, but I would like to be able to give more critical musical feedback, rathe than get distracted by technical issues.

And for the record, I like music with some reality in it... I don't really aspire to make perfect recordings. But, like the problems with the Metallica album, there's a fine line between good distortion and bad distortion.

i think it's a mix problem, followed by a mix down in garageband to MP3 instead of down to WAV. i'm gonna experiment with that this weekend.

Just make sure your export preferences are on a high level when you export "compressed" to mp3. I use GarageBand for all my podcasts and don't have a problem exporting to disk as mp3. Sounds good if you use the higher bitrates.
