I think its ridiculous to assume to "know better" that FLAC is a pointless standard to support.
Recompress flac plus#
+1 on FLAC support or at least add an option that Rekordbox will convert the file to something native.Ĭ'mon people add your plus ones to this thread otherwise they will never add this feature. It takes about 15 seconds to save any changes. I use Carbon Copy Cloner to do very simple and quick backups every couple of days or so. I have an identical second hard drive which is my backup drive. I keep my music on an external hard drive. It worked perfectly and all of my tags were preserved for my WAV and AIFF files.

I recently did a clean install upgrade of my OS from Snow Leopard to Lion, and had to do the Rekordbox migration. You just need to be diligent with your backups. Yes, I would certainly like to have more tagging ability, but we can still tag those files in Rekordbox and iTunes, or in other music library software. Surely drive space is not the biggest factor? The only advantage I would concede to MP3 or FLAC is the tagging ability. I don't understand why WAV is not an option because of file size? Hard drives are so cheap now and the capacities are huge.

But I can tell you the difference at my home, in my car (probably the easiest place to tell), and at the club I play monthly. So you would be correct if the system being used does not have good bass reproduction ability. In my tests, the bass response is always the dead giveaway. But in a club with even a reasonable sound system I think it matters. If it's a small lounge with self-powered Mackies hanging by chains, then perhaps you are correct. I guess it depends on what kind of music it is, and the venue. I could understand someone not hearing much difference in an MP3 when using a pair of those lousy white iPod earphones, but on an amplified system in a club. And I have done blind tests with friends to prove it.Īnd I would argue that the need for quality formats is ever greater when being used in a live situation. the same WAV file playing on the same system with an iPod through the dock connection. I can hear the difference between a WAV file on CD vs. an 320 MP3 (that's pretty easy), but I can do even better than that. Koobah, I can assure you that I can hear the difference in not only a WAV vs. why not stick with wav or aiff? ok art work and enough tags to populate would be a nice place to start! but with £50 2TB drives is a compression (lossless or not) format needed.

dont get me wrong reading the spec of flac, and hearing the difference its an awesome format as is aflac. not many of my apps (ok they are main stream) actually support flac - audacity and audition are the only two on my lappy! Ok i have traktor as well but i gave up using that due to its poor stability on stage!Īs i said above id love a new format to work with, but 320k mp3 on most systems does the trick.

I personally wouldnt want to be playing chase with a bunch of open source dudes when i potentially have a bunch of issues i need to focus my development team on.ie rekordbox has a long way to go to get to where it should be - i would rather pioneer focus on the core issues before new stuff is added.īeing a mac user i have limited access to flac. If flac was to change the libraries, traktor would need to ensure this change is reflected in their package, or face a bunch of djs moaning for support!

while NI may have flac support in traktor - they have no control over its future support or direction of the format. So it's meby to much to expect from such to begin with.You've missed the point Pasi. It's really a puzzle why didn't any streaming service worked on WavPack implementation but then again they never implemented a good comprehensive processing DSP tool chain ever either.

You won't get some meaningful difference in size between flac - lose less WavPack (al do it applies better more robust comparison) and lossy + correction file (everything which get shaved of lossy file gets into correction one) but you get smaller main lossy to use and you can archive correction one's and when you combine them you can get your PCM intact back. It's "lossy" compression is great all do most gains you will get for 88200 Hz sample rate or over file's (which stupid as it is is becoming increasingly popular). From a hardware side it will work on any ARM A core SoC 10 years back or 20 years old X86 CPU.

There whose even the ASIC codec implementation on one or two Ti chips as I recall (it whose long time ago and it whosent full implication). Well it got into most popular and widely used FFmpeg package and some players.
