So ive recently uploaded a mix to soundcloud, however I think that sound cloud effects the sound qaulity because the sound qaulity on my laptop media player sounds fine, but when I upload it to soundcloud it sounds awfull, do you think this could be something to do with the sample rate and bit depth, if so what aample rate and bit depth do you suggest?
 
44.1k and 24bits but that doesn't matter. Soundcloud puts everything down to 16bit anyway. Shouldn't make a huge noticeable difference where it 'ruins' your mix though. Could be problems in the mix, post the song.
 
Soundcloud streams at 128kbps mp3 files. On top of that they play them INCREDIBLY loud in attempt to make up for the quality loss, unfortunately tracks will never sound good on soundcloud, but a poor mix will definitely translate worse.
