High quality Audio? MakeCD plays better than AHI!
« on: April 06, 2003, 01:50:25 PM »
Or maybe it's just me...

I recently downloaded the MakeCD demo & after a little messing & testing found that *.aiff files created from CDs sounded MUCH sharper when using the "Play" feature on MakeCD than when I use Amplifier.

So, I thought I'd have a listen to one of my MP3s files too... Shock horror! There it was again! Even the low end frequencies sounded better.

Note: I have a Blizzard 1260/50 & no sound card, Paula is working her socks off here.

Can anyone tell me, is this just some damn fine programming on the MakeCD programmers part or can I get AHI to output at this quality too?

One of the reasons I ask is because I have just tried AmiNetRadio & wouldn't mind if I could get this as sharp while I'm at it rather than using MakeCD as my audio player of choice :-D Mental!

Cheers, FuZion.

Hi Alkemyst,

At the moment the highest frequency I can get on my AHI prefs is 27,429 Hz

How can I get higher frequencies?

(I hope this isn't a "rtfm" moment ;-) Hehe!

Cheers.

HI Karlos,

I really should let you guys know what I've got to save unnecessary posts shouldn't I :-D

I have an A1200 with a B1260/50, Mediator with a Voodoo 3 3000, 48mb... ... Er anything else that might be relevant. . . . . Oh yeah, I'm going to watch the Simpsons in a bit ;-)

Oh, & I've tried that thing Alkemyst suggested in the paulaaudio draw. No change :-(
