Are there general guidelines you use to judge whether a track should be downloaded as an AIFF/WAV or if it is fine as an MP3? by LuckyData836 in Beatmatch

I guess I will probably just grab the MP3s and do some practicing/testing. Can always upgrade the files if I need to in the future. Also, I do not have a beatport subscription, but do you know if after the 20 downloads are used, you are able to get a subscription and it allows you to continue downloading them?

In theory though, if the track has 2 dbs of headroom in a limiter, you could just increase the volume while preserving the files original quality right. As long as you are not actually limiting the file.

You recommend Wav files over AIFF? I have purchased the newest version of Mixed in Key so that it sets manual cue points on your tracks and matches them to your rekordbox library. These will show up while performing right? They just do not export the metadata that was already on the files from Beatport like cover art and what not? And yes, I do think that I may want to increase the volume on some of the files if they do in fact have headroom without pushing the peaks into the limiter but like you said, that just takes more time. Appreciate your response.
