Hi Gene,

Are you sure the distortion was caused by the mp3 encoding? There *is*
lots of distortion in this track anyway, and I usually compare by
listening quickly to both the wav and the mp3 - but have never noticed any
major difference unless I use < 128 kbps (this track is reported as
208kbps using play/sox).

Unfortunately I hunted all around my hard drives and it looks like I
deleted the ardour session for this track (made in 2008) so cannot
definitely say either way.

Thanks Ralf for your comments too.

James.
