Hi everyone, I just discovered this very interesting tool that may help to solve our problem.
We're an Italian cultural association devoted to help emerging artists' growth and since dec 07 we can legally share music (for free teaching purposes) on our website at "degraded quality".
The purpose is to "train" the emeging artists' hearing attitude, but we wanna respect musicians rights too.
So we choosed to put only 1 album (as 1 image file) per band, mono, 32 KHz, Vorbis (
q0 setting) encoded files in sharing. Anyway to achieve the best possible quality from this parameters we started a couple of discussions about
best downmix to mono and
FlatStereo @ Hydrogenaudio Forums.
Now i've tried some presets with the command line tool, but the results is always 2 channel file.
How achieve the goal ?
Can someone construct a batch pipe encoding string in the correct quality-oriented order (with the following tools) ?
aotuv (should be the last)
Shibatch's fast and high quality sampling rate converter (before or after the mono mix ?)
Alternatively, a piping with
SoX - Sound eXchange would be great too.
Thanks in advice,
Marco Radossevich
