| 119 | 18:11 NeuroWinter The correct answer to Q2 is AIFF | |
| 120 | 18:12 AnAngryGoose oh shit. Sorry, I wasn't sure between those two. Did i fail? | |
| 121 | 18:12 NeuroWinter Nope! | |
| 122 | 18:12 NeuroWinter ================================== | |
| 123 | 18:12 NeuroWinter Section Four: Formats and Encoding | |
| 124 | 18:13 NeuroWinter ================================== | |
| 125 | 18:13 NeuroWinter | |
| 126 | 18:13 NeuroWinter Please remember to number your answers and enter each answer on a different line. | |
| 127 | 18:13 NeuroWinter | |
| 128 | 18:13 NeuroWinter 01. Describe a lossy codec. | |
| 129 | 18:13 NeuroWinter 02. Give me 2 examples of a lossy codec. | |
| 130 | 18:13 NeuroWinter 03. Describe a lossless codec. | |
| 131 | 18:13 NeuroWinter 04. Give me 2 examples of a lossless codec. | |
| 132 | 18:13 NeuroWinter 05. What is LAME? | |
| 133 | 18:13 NeuroWinter 06. What is the difference between CBR and VBR? | |
| 134 | 18:13 NeuroWinter 07. What is the difference between lossless and lossy codecs? | |
| 135 | 18:13 NeuroWinter | |
| 136 | 18:13 NeuroWinter Please say my name "NeuroWinter" once you have finished these questions. | |
| 137 | 18:13 AnAngryGoose 1) Always compressed, usually smallest file size | |
| 138 | 18:14 AnAngryGoose 1) can't be transcoded to lossless | |
| 139 | 18:14 AnAngryGoose 2) MP3, AAC | |
| 140 | 18:15 AnAngryGoose 3)it stores ALL recoreded data, doesn't remove anything like lossy does sometimes. | |
| 141 | 18:15 AnAngryGoose 3) usually 'best' sounding files | |
| 142 | 18:15 AnAngryGoose 4)WAV(uncompressed), FLAC(Compressed) | |
| 143 | 18:16 AnAngryGoose 5)LAME is an encoder that compresses any input file and converts it to mp3 format | |
| 144 | 18:17 AnAngryGoose 6)constant bit rate(CBR) means the user sets the bitrate for the LAME encode, which it tries to follow throughout. VBR(variable bit rate) means the bitrate can vary throughout but still requires the user to set it up initally | |
| 145 | 18:19 AnAngryGoose 7)Lossless records all original data, nothing is removed, better sounding, way bigger. (WAV, FLAC). Lossy is smaller because it removes some of the original data and compresses the original file down quite a bit | |
| 146 | 18:19 AnAngryGoose NeuroWinter | |
| 147 | 18:21 NeuroWinter Could you please give a more detailed explaination of VBR? How does the bitrate differ throughout the file? (which part would get more bits per second than average and which part would get fewer bits per second than average?). | |
| 148 | 18:23 AnAngryGoose Silence gets much less bits allocated to it than loud or active audio | |
| 149 | 18:24 NeuroWinter Could you also please give me a better explanation of a lossy codec? | |
| 150 | 18:24 AnAngryGoose for VBR:The user sets a major preset, LAME tries to follow that preset, but it can vary throughout for silence and noise, loud v. soft, etc. | |
| 151 | 18:25 NeuroWinter ============================= | |
| 152 | 18:25 NeuroWinter Section Five: Transcodes | |
| 153 | 18:25 NeuroWinter ============================= | |
| 154 | 18:25 NeuroWinter Firstly, please descibe what is a good transcode, and how does that differ from a bad one? | |
| 155 | 18:25 NeuroWinter | |
| 156 | 18:25 NeuroWinter For the following, please state whether or not the end result would be allowed on What.CD, and if not why. | |
| 157 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 01. CD -> MP3 V2 (VBR) -> MP3 V0 (VBR) | |
| 158 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 02. CD -> FLAC -> FLAC -> FLAC | |
| 159 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 03. CD -> MP3 192 (CBR) -> FLAC | |
| 160 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 04. CD -> MP3 320 (CBR) -> MP3 192 (CBR) | |
| 161 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 05. CD -> MP3 V0 (VBR) -> MP3 320 (CBR) -> MP3 V2 (VBR) | |
| 162 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 06. CD -> MP3 V2 (VBR) -> FLAC | |
| 163 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 07. CD -> MP3 320 (CBR) -> MP3 V0 (VBR) | |
| 164 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 08. CD -> MP3 V2 (VBR) -> MP3 320 (CBR) | |
| 165 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 09. CD -> MP3 320 (CBR) -> FLAC -> MP3 V0 (VBR) | |
| 166 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 10. CD -> MP3 V0 (VBR) -> FLAC | |
| 167 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 11. CD -> MP3 V2 (VBR) -> MP3 192 (CBR) | |
| 168 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 12. CD -> FLAC -> FLAC -> MP3 V0 (VBR) | |
| 169 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 13. CD -> FLAC -> FLAC -> MP3 V2 (VBR) | |
| 170 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 14. CD -> MP3 V2 (VBR) -> FLAC -> FLAC | |
| 171 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 15. CD -> FLAC -> FLAC | |
| 172 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 16. CD -> FLAC -> MP3 V2 (VBR) | |
| 173 | 18:25 AnAngryGoose Lossy: A lot of the data is removed, ususally higher frequencies if i remember right, but sometimes it can compromise parts of the actual audio. Most of the silence is removed to save space. | |
| 174 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 17. CD -> FLAC -> MP3 192 (CBR) | |
| 175 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 18. CD -> MP3 V2 (VBR) -> FLAC -> MP3 192 (CBR) | |
| 176 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 19. CD -> FLAC -> FLAC -> MP3 320 (CBR) | |
| 177 | 18:25 NeuroWinter 20. CD -> MP3 192 (CBR) -> MP3 320 (CBR) | |
| 178 | 18:25 NeuroWinter | |
| 179 | 18:25 NeuroWinter Please say my name "NeuroWinter" when you have finished. | |
| 180 | 18:26 AnAngryGoose 1) yes | |
| 181 | 18:26 AnAngryGoose 2) yes | |

| 184 | 18:26 AnAngryGoose 5)no | |
| 185 | 18:26 AnAngryGoose 6)no | |
| 186 | 18:27 AnAngryGoose 7)no | |
| 187 | 18:28 AnAngryGoose 8)yes | |
| 188 | 18:28 AnAngryGoose 9)no | |
| 189 | 18:28 AnAngryGoose 10)no | |
| 190 | 18:28 AnAngryGoose 11)no | |
| 191 | 18:28 AnAngryGoose 12)no | |

| 193 | 18:29 AnAngryGoose 13)yes | |
| 194 | 18:29 AnAngryGoose 14)yes | |
| 195 | 18:29 AnAngryGoose 15)yes | |
| 196 | 18:30 AnAngryGoose 16)yes | |
| 197 | 18:30 AnAngryGoose 17)yes | |
| 198 | 18:30 AnAngryGoose 18)no | |
| 199 | 18:30 AnAngryGoose 19)yes | |
| 200 | 18:31 AnAngryGoose 20)no | |
| 201 | 18:31 AnAngryGoose NeuroWinter | |
| 202 | 18:31 AnAngryGoose that was a lot haha | |
| 203 | 18:33 AnAngryGoose I do know that the only things allowd here are lossless to lossless, and lossless to lossy. Never lossy to lossy | |
| 204 | 18:33 NeuroWinter Sorry AnAngryGoose but I am going to have to fail you here, the main idea behind the transcode rule is there that there should only be one lossy step in the transcode chatin and it just be at the end | |
| 205 | 18:33 NeuroWinter EG 1 should be no since there are 2 lossy steps | |
| 206 | 18:34 NeuroWinter Also Q14 that should be no since there is a lossy step in it, but its not at the end | |
| 207 | 18:34 NeuroWinter =============================================== | |
| 208 | 18:34 NeuroWinter YOU HAVE FAILED THE INTERVIEW! | |
| 209 | 18:34 NeuroWinter =============================================== | |
