This is my first attempts at mixing

Are you mixing with headphones or nearfield monitors?

I would suggest using a dedicated analyzer such as Voxengo Span

This is very important, either way, in my opinion. And SPAN is free, so, go get it...

And in the end the advice is always to use your ears and not your eyes.

Some of us do not have the training or, indeed, a decent set of ears, so graphical representations of sound is absolutely essential.

Windows 10's new Ransomware "feature" blocks most applications that want to store information in the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming folder.

In the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk folder are kept the following sub folders:-

So if any preferences or settings are stored in any of those folders you usually have to add Cakewalk.exe to the list of allowed applications.

At least that is how I understand it, and I have had issues with Cakewalk, REAPER, Sound Forge, amongst other until I add them to that list.

I am not saying that this is the issue here. I did say that it is a long shot...

Just have to be a bit more careful with it

Still a cool looking guitar, though, I suppose

Yeah, it is an unbreakable guitar, providing you only try to smash certain parts of it.

Nice try, Sandvik

I haven't tried with Sonarworks

I tried Sonarworks... Didn't work for me for some reason. I just got used to my headphones character along with using SPAN and also checking mixes on my nearfields.

Good afternoon

So, he did break it:-

Machine head... Missing...

I wonder if the oceans are more salty on the bottom?

I seem to recall that there are some "pools" of highly concentrated brine somewhere... Would have to google. Anything that unwittingly enters that pool doesn't come out

Indeed.

My wife and I have watched a few movies over the years and half way through we're thinking, "oh dear, we've seen this one before, haven't we?"

Maybe the black notes don't want to see you 😂

Yes, there may well be a mutual dislike...

A long shot, but could it be the new Windows 10 ransomware settings?

I have had to add quite a few apps to the list in order for them to work correctly.

So Abby normal is a good thing! 

Sweet!

Congratulations for TOTP

I can't play guitar because I cannot see the black notes

Win32? What's that?

MP3s are only 16 bit.  There is no reason to place them into a 24 or 32 bit wav file. If you expect to process them as wav files 24 or 32 bit is fine, though. 

Hi John

I think the question here is, though, why even use MP3 files in the first place?

As Richard has confirmed in an earlier post, the guy who sent the files was worried about audio degradation, but hopefully we have helped to clear that misconception now.

Just now, Richard Strickland said:

The sender was concerned about audio degradation using .wav files as opposed to MP3

Really?

WAV files are "lossless."

The next question is, of course, 16 bit or 24 bit.

And after that it is 44.1kHz or 48kHz

If size is a problem then I would still recommend 24 bit rather than 16 bit. I'll let the experts explain why but, generally, it's all to do with "headroom."

I ain't a pro, so 44.1kHz sampling frequency suits me fine, but others may even go up to 92kHz and beyond.
