Bitrate and connection>>changed to Dj's general Discussion

[Prometheus[NL]]

I have noticed some of our Dj's are broadcasting in really low bitrates, now there is nothing wrong with that if you have a slow connection but for the guys that may have a better one please post your connection speed here and ill tell you what you can pull off

let me give mine as example I have (its the upload that is the factor here)



With this I can pull off 128 bps mp3 and be ingame so people with this or more should atleast be able to transmit 96bps mp3 easily

It just sounds better for music, for only speech its not that big of an issue but music needs to sound clear

but its up to you just a tip

EDIT: seeing as this has become the DJs general discussion corner(we all talk about everything ) ill change it to that it seems there was a need for it

I will upload at no more than 48kb/s. Good enough quality, remember this is not a pro radio station.

[The_Wolf]

 
 It seems good, maybe I will apply for DJ next time 

[Dave]

around 40kb/ps is good enough, we have LISTENERS with bad connections and major lag problems, it buffers for them if we go higher than 58kb/ps, as Watti will be able to backup.

[Knoothead]

thats mine with 24 mbits connection im a bit dissapointed.

Wel I am never happy with the soundquality its just one of my things but ill use 128 as long as I dont hear people have problems receiving

[Zun_Callison]

Rofl , i got 24mbit/s and my UL speed is weak.. God #"!"#!¤..

[Prometheus[NL]]

I wonder why that is that some isp's make the upload so low ..probably so you take more expensive contract if you need to upload a lot I saw a few eastern european guys tests .they actually had nmore upload then download

Oh btw Zun I caught a few of your shows Good work ! keep it up

* Watti backs Up

ok now... i got it on .. i do belive... ahh... 64 Kb/s... .. Which is 64 Bytes per second... thus 6.4 KB/s

i can listen to 128 fine.. out game but 64 is max ingame

b (small b) = bit, 1/8 of a byte
B (big b) = byte

ex. 1Mb/s = 128kB/s
     32kB/s = 256kb/s

and another thing, use a 'p' OR a '/', don't use both at the same time (@ Dave)

And about the bitrate, 64 is enough for a radio. 48 and lower are good only if you can compress the data with a good algorythm.

[Prometheus[NL]]

you are telling me you dont hear difference between 128 and 64 or you dont mind it ?

I just made this topic for people who want more but though they could not get it not to tell you guys what to use thats up to you

but if I am not wrong Johannes uses 92 or something like that and nobody ever complained about it (atleast not on forum)

hmm it does increase my latency perhaps i shall try lower also

[Roadkill]

I think most of us encode at around 40kb/s which is good enough for an ameteur radio station.

[Prometheus[NL]]

Hmm I am a perfectionist when it comes to music SRY

thats why I am getting crazy I am playing now and i keep hearing distortion even on 128 .. like i am in the red . but I am not

[Rusty]

Great show so far Iggy and it sounds perfect i play mine at around 64-128kb/s depending if alot of people are buffering quite alot i'll put it down.

[Prometheus[NL]]

yeah wel if i dont scare you all away with my Metal lol i like a lot of music so its not to hard for me to play something different

anyway time for some pizza ill be on later again so if someone wants to go on after the next guns and roses song i am off (not sweet child the next called nighttrain )
