Does the quality of file have a positive/negative effect on separating elements on songs?
I am jumping between WAV and MP3 versions of songs and can’t really tell which has a better result. I am using BBNO$ - Two as a reference, as I noticed some artifacts while playing with it before. But the same results exist in both versions that I have from my pool, which offers both. I am also comparing it to max quality on tidal, with no real change. I get that with this level of mixing, in real time, the quality will be affected, but it almost seems 1:1 once separation is involved.
Does Neural Mix default to a specific format/quality, regardless of the original file? I guess maybe that is my actual question. I have been on the fence about switching to WAV recently, but it doesn’t seem like it’s necessary overall.
