Let's assume after doing your own listening test you agree
that MP4 is the way to go. What are some of the other advantages of
this format over the venerable CD?
First of all as our slogan states you get "ALL THE QUALITY
AT HALF THE COST". Simply this means you can get a pile of great
music for very little money.
Second, and really
kind of important, is the fact that instead of shuffling through
a lot
of CDs you can have the entire CSS
package at your finger tips with our UltraEdit LE hard drive system
with onboard Search and Play . Or imagine having the equivalent of
12 CDs worth of music accessible from your CD-ROM drive with Q-Tunes.
Let's face it, time is money. You can cut your music research
time in half and your production time as well. And when the job is
done, clean up and re-organization is a breeze.
Yes, MP4s in the
short run will likely need to be converted to wav and aiff. But what
happens
when you use a CD? Don't you still
have to convert to wav or aiff? The only real downside of MP4s is that
they don't currently play in CD or DVD players. This will change
rapidly. In the meantime, may we suggest Apple's iPod for a
great way to have MP4 playback capability that's portable and
yet still patchable for more conventional use in the studio. Of course
with iTunes playlist capabilities, burning a CD from MP4s is a snap.
