[Golden Ring, Happy Records] Incognito Five - "Invitation", "Music in the Ear"

[Psyclon]

But then again, the files have a sampling frequency of 48 kHz. Which means they cannot come from a CD.

The default project rate of Audacity is 48kHz. So if you launch Audacity and press REC, you will have a 48kHz recording and if you export it, it'll be 48kHz too. MP3 supports that sample rate.

As far as I remember it has something to do that computers can work better with 48kHz than 44.1kHz due to it being such an odd number and Audacity just uses that sample rate out of the box.

Hi Psyclon, you're of course completely right. But if you do what you've described there'll be no sound present above 22.05 kHz (half the sampling frequency of the CD file format). The spectrals of the fake Music in the Ear, however, show frequencies up to 24 kHz. In this case it is therefore indeed impossible that those files should have come directly from CD, even after upscaling the sampling frequency.

I've now amended the first sentence that you cite to make the statement unassailable. Thanks!

Correction. Audacity defaults to 44,100kHz, not 48kHz. Refer to here:

44100kHz has been the standard for years now. 48kHz is typically reserved for professional studio use.

Thank you very much [(Sub)] for your rip of Music In The Ear. I look forward to comparing it with the previous upload earlier in this thread.

Thank you Sub.
