I’m competing in BAC this year, and I need finals music which has to be uploaded from (you guessed it) a computer, which many of you know that I do have a computer, but its a technical piece of crap. Chris is trying to help me out, but we can’t find a clean version of the song I wanna use. If anyone could trim “'Till I Collapse” by Eminem to 1:51 and fade it out, send it on a USB that would really help me out a lot. Please help!
You’ll actually want to use a CD or other lossless format, such as a FLAC or WAV for your edits. As the BAC wants MP3s, which are a lossy format, if you start with an MP3 and edit it down, you’re going to be losing more quality.
BUT, seeing how those can be hard to get, check to see what the quality (or bitrate) of your file is. You want to encode at a slightly lower bitrate when you render the track. IDEALLY, you’ll start at 320 and encode at 192 or so, or v1 for a variable bitrate.
Youtube rips are ~128, which is kinda bad to begin with, especially when played on a large system.
He did. I’m too busy. I’m also doing sound production for other events and preparing for other projects between now and BAC, so I’m rather slammed.
Just, if someone can either get HIM or ME a clean copy of the song, I can get it done fast. Size is irrelevant, I have my own mail server so size is not an issue. But for the most part, I really am slammed with work for May because I have to take 2 weeks off in June for something I need to have done at the end of May.
