OK.....
Friend sends rough mix of drums and bass in mp3 form.
Tells me to record new guitars to this.....(he expects a wav file in

return).
This "master in mp3 form" makes me a bit nervous.  Why?
Because I don't know enough about the mp3 encoding process.........
Is it "lossy" simply because it rounds-off stuff?
Or does it actually drop samples (like various lossy video encoders?)
If so, the wav file that I send him could get weird sample-wise when he

imports it into the "real" session, no?
Am I picking nits here?
