I would do it in one step. Sound Forge will make all the necessary conversions for you as it encodes. Doing a two step conversion will only introduce more errors. |

"lets say i have a 24 bit 48khz wav . is it better to 1.resample to 44k 2. change the bit rate to 16 3. then save as a mp3? ( my goal is 128 kb)" If you are starting with such a high-quality original why would you want to convert it to 128k? :) I'd recommend at least 160k JS if you want to retain a lil bit of that quality, and 256k/320k JS is recommended if you want it to sound damn near identical to the original. I know this is kinda off topic.. haha.. I just had to mention it. :D |
