Shades & Ivy Lab - Sleaze

link on page 2

Alix Perez & EPROM form SHADES, and come together with tour mates Ivy Lab for their first collab. Forthcoming on their "Night the Dreadless Angel" EP on March 24th. Bought this for £0.99 on a website that fucked up.

@naota3k wich site sir, if I can ask?

EDIT: sounds not so good, also take a look at the spectre, cut at 20kHz ---> http://imgur.com/FhZCsVr

SC rip?

Soundcloud uses only 128 kbps which cuts off at 16 kHz.

@naota3k Also pretty interested to know which site...

In any case

I've rarely seen 320 mp3s exceed 20kHz. Usually when not using LAME encoding - anyway it sounded fine to my ears, but I'm not particularly picky. *shrug*

Twas BoomKat.

@wvwvwv lel, you're right, i foget it

@naota3k actually in the last years mp3s up to 22kHz are more than before. F.e. when I bought Ivy Lab's Vol.1 they provided a link for downloading the mp3s, and all those specs reach 22kHz. Btw sorry if I suspected you thanks

The lowpass filter is just a setting in LAME. Here's the alias I use to convert to mp3:

lame --lowpass -1 -h -b 320k infile outfile.mp3

The --lowpass -1 flag disables the filter. On lower bitrate settings the lowpass filter is applied because encoding does not retain the upper frequencies correctly and the frequencies can't be created on small speakers anyway. Leaving those frequencies in would have effects on the low frequencies that you can hear, this is called aliasing.

At 320 kbps CBR there should be no aliasing because the bitrate is high enough to reproduce all the frequencies correctly. In theory you can disable the 20 kHz lowpass without losing quality (at the cost of a slightly larger file). I definitely can't hear the difference and the spectrogams look a lot nicer so I've always just left the filter off!

Oh! I didn't know that. Makes sense to me. All love guys!

Any chance of getting a DL other than media fire?

They never work on my mac
