The sound quality of Acoustica Audio Converter Pro is leaps and bounds above the competition. In addition to providing a high quality 32 bit floating point engine, the software anti-aliases every file with a high end IIR filter. What does this mean in English? What better way then to hear the difference?!? | Program | Converting to an 8Khz WAV file | Analysis | | n/a | original.mp3 | The original sound of a human female singer. (Angelique_Kidjo-Sénié) | | Fair Stairs | fair-stairs.wav | S's are very distorted and has weird warbling frequencies. Audio content is very distorted and dirty sounding. | | Alive | alive.wav | Sounds better, although it is definitely muted and not as brilliant. | | Acoustica | acoustica.wav | Clean sound, crisp frequencies, even at 8Khz! (Normally, you'd convert the sound to CD Quality or 44Khz, but this example exposes the quality issues with the other converters.) |
If you are looking for good sound quality, you can count on Acoustica's audio engine. Note that our new audio engine is also in Mixcraft. We have plans to move it to the CD burner and our future projects! | |
