Doni Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 How strict is submission file size? I know that there is an 8 meg limit, but would 9.5 be pushing it? The reason I ask is because I'm happy with my mix and it might stress my mind if I had to submit a lower quality version. I suppose the difference would be barely audible, but still! Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Sorry dude, it's 100% set in stone. A month ago it was 6mb, so it's much more open now. Just use VBR and the difference will be inaudible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 But what would Audio Fidelity say to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Sadly, it's non-negotiable. No larger than 8,388,608 bytes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonicade Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 You can try using this preset to encode your MP3. It uses VBR and stays within 192kbps for encoding OCRemix MP3s.

Rozovian Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Either you've got a lot of crucial details in the really really high range or it's a looooooooong remix that you need the encoding high for. Scraping off 1.5 megs with a lower encoding shouldn't hurt a typical long mix unless you go under 128kbps (in which case the mix proabbly is too long). Tho if it's as long as I suspect, it's probably either pretty repetitive or suffers "medley-itis" so there's a chance the question is moot if it can't get on ocr for those reasons. I suggest you show it to a judge on IM or irc to hear what they think you should do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Like people have said, it's strict and non-negotiable. Use something like LameVBR to encode the file, and feel free to plug a higher bitrate version if it does make the site in a lower bitrate.
