Sound Quality is Important

Cape Digital Music WAV files are recorded in high fidelity at 24-bit/96kHz

Cape Digital Music offers CD Quality Lossless Audio (FLAC). The FLAC format is a lossless audio format that retains 1,411 kb per second digital audio bit rate contained in the original CD recording. FLAC files can be converted into any other format and can create an identical copy of the original WAV data. FLAC is a free format and does not charge for licensing or implementation. Playback and conversion is simple, and there are a host of applications available for Mac and Windows computers.

Cape Digital Music Mp3 tracks are encoded at 320kbps, well above the CD transparency threshold...... What is CD transparency?

If an Mp3 track is perceptually indistinguishable from the original wave file used to create it, then it's described as being CD transparent. The term transparency threshold describes the kilobits per second (kbps) at which transparency is achieved. Mp3-encoded files created with bitrates at or above 192kbps are generally considered to be CD transparent and are indistinguishable from the original WAV file.

Sound design is an art

Whether you're selecting music for the workplace or creating a sophisticated soundscape for your short film, documentary, advertising or video production, it may be helpful to experiment with different tracks to test the emotional potential of the sounds. Matching the mood and atmosphere with the right background music is an art.
