Hi all! So i decided after i did my Remix of Trouble in Candyland, i would master it. ( mayo also gave me some tips ) and when i export the song ( i use the same settings for every track, which would be 96000Hz sample rate, 256 k bits for bitrate, 32 bit float, best sinc, and 4x oversampling.) it comes out worse than the un-mastered version. its all metalic, like your listening on bad speakers...its cringe worthy. i'm using windows ten, latest stable version of LMMS, in case that helps. i have exported multiple times and same result.

Halp meh.

Thanks!

What do you need 96kHz and 4x oversampling (effectively 384kHz) for? There's a chance some plugins can't handle sample rates that are so ridiculously high.

What player are you using to listen to the finished export ? Not many can directly support sample/bit rates nearly that high so most will be internally downsampling and that often introduces all sorts of odd artifacts in the sound. Just like stuff on soundcloud never sounds like what you expect.

WHOA! There's no need to export at such high setttings! You can get a decent sounding track with no oversampling and just exporting it as a 32 bit wav at standard bitrate.

...are you serious...ok, thanks. I will try that out.

I was told that basically higher the better

I use ITunes.

Thank you all for your help, i was exporting too high. thanks again!
