Hello
Dear Devs, would you please tell me whether there are some transcoded tracks in Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition Official Soundtrack Lossless?
The image below illustrates spectrum of "38. Kalah's Theme".

CDs were supposed to have a range up to 20Khz. One thing that would most probably determine a lossy file is a sharp cutoff at frequencies quite below 22Khz, like 16Khz ( 32Khz sampling rate and filter of 128Kbps mp3) or 11Khz.
I have found other "suspicious" tracks such as:
34. Temple District
35. The Shadow Portal
37. Astral Prison
38. Kalah's Theme
39. The Copper Coronet
40. Temple of Helm
41. De'Arnise Hold Besieged
42. De'Arnise Hold Liberated
43. The Beholder Dungeon
44. Khalid's Death
45. Anomen Romance
46. The Umar Hills
48. The Thieves' Guild
49. The Vulgar Monkey Tavern
50. Wealthy Estate
51. Amaunator Temple
82. Jaheira Romance

Can I be sure whether those tracks are a "genuine" FLAC or a transcode?
