problem with alt-preset standard/extreme

I found this problem when encoding with --preset medium for my portable. Strangely, --preset standard had the same problem, and --preset extreme too. Not insane, and not ... 128 kbps ! VBR seems to be guilty.
I tried with 3.90.2, 3.93.1 and 3.94a5. Takehiro is good, but the stable codecs have problems.
CBR is good. ABR is good. Funiest thing : --alt-preset fast standard is better than --alt-preset standard [3.90.2].

Instrument is a nice chinese violin, called ehru. The VBR encoding introduce raucous noise.

Yes, same 'burp'. Thanks for answer.

You can find chinese recordings by clicking here. Exact reference is this one.

Huh.. that's one of the worst artifacts I have heard with APS/APX, if not the worst! 
In 3.90.2/3.92/3.93.1 -Z makes it very much better, although I can still hear some slight rumbling.

This is one very good reason why imo --alt-preset extreme should have used -Z in Lame 3.93.1 and before.

The instrument is called Er-hu (like my teacher from Taiwan at the Institute of Musicology wrote it) or Erh-hu (like the New Grove Dictionary of Music & Musicians spells it). It is one of the oldest chinese instruments (i.e. more than 1,000 years old, as far as I remember) and - being a guitar player  - also one of my favorites from traditional Chinese music. The dictionary describes it as "a two-string bowed lute also know as nun-hu." It's played with a short bow tied behind the strings (so it won't get lost while conquering the continent on a horse) and placed on the lap of the player in front of him, also sometimes between the knees.

I was bored by harpsichord


I did a mistake, as Hans-Jürgen said it. It's erhu, not ehru. I'm really sorry for this orthographical error.

For the Z affair discussed here, get Lame 3.90.3, it's solved (The improvements of Z have been included in the presets).
