VONYC WAV File Quality Problems
View this Thread in Original format
Keith Chambers
Has anybody noticed issues in the quality of VONYC WAV files?

On a number of the tracks I've bought there is very loud clicking. I'm assuming this was introduced as part of the audio imbedded signature (DRM) they added to the file. It makes the track unusable.

On top of the quality issues with the WAV you have to wait for the track to be prepared. You can't just get it right away like with Beatport or Audio Jelly. In this case I had to wait 3 days and now I have to contract the support team and plead for a new copy.

I'm sick and tired of DRM. VONYC is another example of DRM hassling paying customers. I end up buying fewer tracks.

Im now officialy on the beatport bandwagon :toothless
I thaught you cant download the WAVs? i thaught they gotta be shipped.
The prices arnt to bad considering the american $$ 19.40 USD only cost me 25.73 AUD.
:haha:

the truth is: shipping the wav files IS CHEAPER

reason: the $1 download fee at a certain point will cost more than the wav handling fee plus shipping

if you only buy them a couple at a time, then download them

but if you need/can afford to buy approximately 64 tracks you will start saving by shipping


try it for yourself... put about 64 tracks in your cart, and compare the price of downloading wavs and shipping

then add more tracks to your cart... and then you will start saving quite a bit of money


cheers

about 64 tracks....

beyond approx 64 tracks.. it is cheaper to have them shipped

keep in mind i live in canada

if you live in the US it will likely be quite a bit less than 64 tracks


anywhere else in the world... probably similar to me in canada


just think of it this way


when you download a wav file off of beatport you have a variable cost of $1 per track

when you do a mail order you have a variable cost (wav handling cost) of much less than $1 per track and you have a fixed shipping cost

The moral of the story: If you want to save big, you need to order big!

Great discussion, I hadn't thought of that.

Haha, yeah I was amazed at how much more downloading the songs would cost me. I just started to totally replace my vinyls.. so I had a huge order.. nearly 200 tracks.. It cost almost $100 to download it than if I had them shipped.

On VONYC, how do buy wave files? I don't see any options for this. I want to try it out.
