Submitting Home Recordings: Wav VS MP3

[avonaitocs]

Thinking of joining Taxi and have a dumb question. I do home recordings with Cubase and can save my projects as MP3 or WAV files. Are these acceptable for Taxi submissions? If not, what type of files are? Thank you.

I always use 192K mp3s. The taxi hosting site creates lower-fi mp3s for streaming, but the 192K is the one that is screened.If you are submitting via CD, then a wav file is good.In either case, I would always run a wav file of your final mix and back up both the individual tracks (wavs) and the final mix (wav).cheersHummin'bird

I just would like to say that the advice given by Ms. HB is right on the money. She is becoming quite a technophile.

Hi Avona.A 16-bit/44.1 kHz will do great too if your converting software does the job well. The sound quality will much more rely on things like recording tecnique and mics/preamps/soundcard/processing than the output format itself as long as you don´t go below 16-bit/44.1 kHz.But sure; if you have a totally magnificent recording (speaking quality); go with the highest possible resolution for maximum detail and clarity.Good luck forwarding; in whatever format.
