That is painful....I could only watch the first minute...the fans are still cheering, but it's so horrible to listen to...I might have to watch it again later and see what the reactions later on in the song are...especially the guitar solo...(I hope I don't throw up...)

(okay, I got up the nerve and watched the whole thing...it doesn't really get more painful, just stays bad. It's weird, reading the comments from people at the show, saying "it didn't sound like that". I especially like the one about "the video was taken with a cell phone and cell phones can't accurately recreate a guitar's frequencies, that's why it sounds out of tune". That comment was great.)

I couldn't help but notice how badly out of tune the guitar parts where. DAMN!

a backing track played at the wrong sampling rate would be out of time as well

i dont understand what bitrate is exactly the only time ive seen it is when im exporting a reason file into wav it asks what sample rate i want it at. my options are 11025Hz through to 96000Hz with a bit depth of 16 or 24. which one should i be using?

anyway back to the thread its amazing how bad that sounded. it was like a school talent show.

you would think that eddie would be able to find the root note of the key board sample and then change his playing on his guitar, but i guess not.

The most common & recommended format to be working in is 44.1Khz / 24bit. This is also the format most mastering engineers will ask for.

You could work at a higher sample rate but it will take more cpu & at the end you have to down sample anyway as cd's are 44.1Khz / 16bit.

So imo it makes most sense to stick to 44.1Khz / 24bit or 44.1Khz / 32bit if your sequencer supports it.

It's actually the sampling rate that's the issue, not the bitrate.

Still very funny (and painful) though.

Edit: And yes, it would be too fast as well as too high, but it probably was. Seems like Ed was able to compensate for the tempo but not the pitch. Talented bunch, those rockstars.

Yeah, he means 'sample rate' not bit-rate.

Oops, yeah. Guess I wasn't thinking straight after watching that.
