SweetIshDub Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Really weird question hereSo I was messing around with exporting a track at different bit rates just to see if i could tell differences and just for fun I created a version at 32 kbps. Needless to say it sounded terrible but I think it would be cool to have a track that starts out with terrible quality then it fades into the drop at full on lossless format.Aside from just bouncing tracks at different rates and fading them in the mixer, is there a way to automate bit rate?I feel like its impossible in FL and maybe its a stupid idea but ive been pondering it for a while now haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russell Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Would you not be better using some kind of fx like a saturator or erosion unit to achieve the effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 that does sound cool sweetish, this is what i always liked about this justice track, starts off so amateur and corny then drops into this quality track...i know thats a bit different to changing the sound qaulity but similar idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FACEPALM, i getmixedup with this shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyB Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 i think it may be sample rate is the amount of digital snaps (like photo's of theaudio containing data) per second, and bit rate is how much information is stored in each snap shot, learnt this to long ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetIshDub Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 yeah, exactly. You can take information away from the bit rate and still get the jist of the song it just sounds bad, but once you start getting too low in the sample rate it can turn a sine into a triangle and youre screwed haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxyKon Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 automate the bit rate in a bit crusher?lol yeah that's what I was think, bitcrusher should work fine with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 just to clarify:sample rate = samples of audio taken per second. 1Hz = 1 sample per second. Think your normal cd these days being 44.1kHz = 44,100 samples per second.bit rate = amount of data/quality of each sample taken. higher the bitrate, the more precise each sample of audio will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomy Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 bit crush, or just export it and make a few different copies of different bit rates then slice them back together. Rocking the lo-fi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
