Re: [microsound] why does iTunes suck...



No insult taken. I thought that is what you meant, but I just wanted to bring it up and not let it slide.

Michael,

I realized that after i hit the send button how my statement could be misconstrued. Its an expression that means "motivated", and its origins are from when the Ottoman Empire was in its glory. I did not mean a person of Turkish origin, i mean a person who is motivated to conquer a challenge. Which can be you, me, anyone really.

I apologize if i insulted anyone with this comment. It was never my intention to do so.

For some reason his statement bothers me.

um...*a very slow* yeeeaaaahhh...
Those viruses are coming from whatever network you are leeching off of, or your network is getting leeched by someone with an infected PC machine. or someone on this list with a Pc has an virus that is using said persons mail contacts to spread. Any worm or virus that is an exe obviously cannot infect a mac. The only know virus that is cross platform was the virus that infected the mac version of MICROSOFT OFFICE. I use both platforms and i try to keep my Pc's off line as much as possible. I prefer to use a mac whenever i need to do anything online. I do fear with all the mac ads about no viruses will only motivate some young turk to claim some fame by writing a sicko mac virus...

I can't say that I've ever noticed any difference between QT and iTunes playback to be honest. I can't recall from memory, but can Sound Check be
switched on in iTunes on yer computer ?

Quick Mac hardware tech question for the macheads here  (apologies in
advance) :

Will bus-powered USB 2.0 do the job for hard disc sample playback/ recording on a MBP C2D ? Or is eSATA via expressCard or FW800 external hard disc
absolutely neccesary ?

OWC have these dual interface 200Gb portable HDDs with eSata (SATA I speeds
of 1.5Gbps) and USB 2.0 connectivity - could that be the sweetspot
format-wise for what I'm looking for ; on the fly, go anywhere portable laptop production set-up (USB) with the option to plug-into the grid for
more heavy duty data transfer speeds (eSATA) ?

Anybody here got one of these drives/views as to their rep/ views as to a
better alternative for heat of the wireless moment/insta-tronic  music
production ?

(Please forgive my posting this here if this ain't none of yer [preferred]
microsound-making business)

I second this - when I play tracks in QT they sound as they  should,
unaltered and original. When they are played in iTunes even as
Graham said with all the sound enhancers, eqs, and such turned  off,
the tracks still sound worse. I have always wondered the reason
behind this as well? Bad codecs or audio summing?

Frankly, I can even render a aif from Logic and store it on my
external, then boot into XP and listen to the same file in  Winamp -
sounds like the original moreso than iTunes does. Go figure.

... the sound out of my music.

here's my setup:

imac G5 with a MOTU traveler. all the computer sound is going
through the MOTU traveler.

now get this:

if i open a track or song in the quicktime player, it sounds
beautiful. great. perfect. just as it should.

if i open a track or song in iTunes, the supposed Apple Music
Player, the quality is not there. i can't put my finger on it
exactly, but it sounds worse. slightly. there is some digital
distortion, i believe. and these are 16 or 24 bit audio files  too,
not MP3 atrocities. i've turned off all the EQ crap and whatever
else is in the iTunes preferences that could screw with the  purity
of my music. it's all off. but still, i think iTunes sounds terrible.

any ideas here?

why does quicktime sound fine, but iTunes doesn't?

i've had this problem since day one.
