Rendering bass to mp3 - artefacts!!
Hi,
For a collaboration project I'm wanting to render a bass midi track (among others; which seem fine) to mp3 to send to my collaborator.
The problem is that I'm getting these squeaky artefacts on many of the notes. Rendering to a wave file is fine, it's just mp3. I've tried removing the various plugins but no change.
Any ideas?

Did you try "online" render?

Ok, well I tried online but it's exactly the same.
The sound quality of the bass is fine, can't tell the difference.
It's just these little squeaks at the start of some of the notes; like that sound you sometimes get twisting a wine cork in the bottle.

update the LAME mp3 encoder, it will fix the issue.

just my two cents, when generally working with midi instruments you wanna do real-time rendering, offline or online. I didn't notice a difference in the rendered file between those two. But with full speed you get a lot of misplayed notes and stuff with some VIs.
As for the squeeks I guess the LAME update is what you should do as suggested

And be sure to render to at least 192kb/s, or for bass even 256.
Lower bitrate is guarantee for artefacts (AAC is better on lower bitrate, MP3 is better on higher).

Thanks Guys, I'm already rendering to mp3 at 320. I will try re-downloading the lame Eric although I only recently switched to MAC so my version is pretty new. Will let you know.
If I still have problems I may just share all the files as wav's; however my email app won't transfer such large files; what would people recommend for transferring 70Mb wave files?
Many thanks!

Try with flac format - it is lossles, hopefully your cooperator can encode it (most DAWS can).
It is a bit bigger than mp3 320kbs, approx. one quarter of wav's size.

Ok, not sure why I didn't just do this straight away.
I just rendered to a .wav file and then rendered this to mp3, absolutely fine.
I guess I got hung up on wanting to solve the problem rather than finding a solution.

I usually render to wav files then convert them to mp3 in Adobe Audition.
there's some other good (and free) converters out there.
I like having my wav file there intact even if I'm sending a demo for now you know
