Even the older Audition 1.5 has issues under Windows 7. I
doubt it will even work under Windows 8 very well, if at
all.

I'd say the best version of AA is 3, even though CS5.5 has
a few neat features, plus that it's much faster.

I haven't yet had any issues running Adobe Audition 1.5 on my Windows 7 computer..... personally I'd go back to XP if I could, though.
Live in stereo.

Props to my "Cool Edit Pro - Special Edition version 1.1",
which appears to have a copyright date of 1998. Still runs
great under both Windows XP and Windows 7.

The features in the later versions are indespenible to me.     
I'm already using Windows 8!

Not to create too much extra work for you, but does it make sense to add a parenthetical "mastered from MP3" note in the database for those tracks that we know are from lossy sources? It would certainly add value. I see it as no different than the "mastered from vinyl" comments that are in there now.


I think that's a great idea, Ringmaster D.

I also conducted a spectral analysis of the remaining tracks on the 25 Rockin' Instrumentals (Varese Sarabande 302066484) and the only other track besides Bill Doggett's "Honky Tonk Parts 1 & 2" that appears to have been mastered from an mp3 source is Billy Joe & the Checkmates' "Percolator (Twist)". I have no idea why mp3s were used for these two tracks, but I suspect Varese received the tracks this way from the licensing record labels and simply never realized these were lossy files.

One thing to consider, guys, is that, at least for the
older tracks, the sources may not have been from mp3. The
tracks, or tapes they used, simply had a high-pass filter
applied to them to eliminate high frequency noise or
something.

Looking at Brian's pictures above, there's no question in my mind that the
track is from mp3...and I haven't even heard it.

That cannot be true on the "Percolator (Twist)" track that Todd Ireland
analyzed. When I saw it, it not only had frequencies above a certain point
shaved off, but it had all the hallmarks of a VARIABLE BITRATE MP3, similar
to LAME at, say, the V1 or V2 setting. What I saw (can't post it now, my
regular computer is on the blink), was a flat shave-off of frequencies at
about 16hz, then higher frequencies at certain points throughout the song.
When I get my regular PC working again, I'll post a photo.

Back to specifically "Honky Tonk (Parts 1 & 2)", people may have forgotton that cleverly edited track surfaced on peer-to-peer networks about a year before Varese released it, so maybe Varese realized they couldn't do a more seamless splicing effort and decided to release it the way they found it. Just a thought...

Just discovered that my Ludacris "Stand Up" promo CD single (DEFR 15907-2) is lossy except for the instrumental:

1. Stand Up (Radio) (lossy source)
2. Stand Up (Instrumental) (lossless)
3. Stand Up (Call Out) (lossy)

That's a 2003 single, so they started this sort of thing pretty early.

In addition, my promo CD single of "Crank That" by Soulja Boy Tell 'Em AND my commercial import CD single of the same title are ALL from lossy sources. Have not been able to find the 45 version of "Crank That" in lossless format yet, since the album version segues in from the previous track. (Something that should probably be noted in the database.)
