i know that if you have lot of dynamics and lots of sharp peaks it screws up the whole shit easier.
Encoders are also differend. plugger+ algoritm has been best from which i've used.

Converted the kick to mono and not only did it sound better in the mix, when we squished it (although it picked up the usual artifacts) it was at least still there.

As far as mixing for MP3, I had this sneaking suspicion that maximized/excited/HOT mixes always sounded worse than a mix with a little headroom when encoded to MP3. Reading thru a Media Cleaner Pro4 manual, they said the same thing! But I'm not that picky to make a seperate mix just for MP3- it's gonna sound like shit anyway...

Unfornately, it seems some people equate how high all the meters go in winamp with sound quality. Squeeze those last couple of decibels of apparent volume out. I tend to think it's better sounding to go easy on all that limiting and compression and leave some dynamics and headroom in the tunes.

duh, it's from a mono source, I just
double-tracked it in the chorus : P
And I dunno, I have some nice sounding
STEREO drum samples from Bob
Clearmountain that I have certainly put to
good use...
Anyway,speaking of levels in winamp, have
you ever decoded a MP3 to wav and seen
how LOW the level is? It's weird...guess
that's why winamp's got a pre-amp?
Mr.Wet
ps looking forward to your email damballah,
thanks

Dang, I want a "tracker view" in Logic. =)

"Recording" rag on "Audio On and Off the
Internet", which includes some tips on
mixing for MP3... The two I remember
off the top of my head are to limit the
amount of stereo seperation in your
tracks, and to limit the dynamic range
of the mix. I think that both of those
tips were to help shrink the file size
down, though...
I will look when I get home.
