MP3 - General / Re: Resurrecting/Preserving the Helix MP3 encoder
Last post by Kraeved -Nobody here is messing with the core algorithms. The default settings always will tend towards the safe and reliable.
I hope so. It is important to agree that in the case of Helix, despite the digressions to try this and that, a conservative compilation strategy is prioritized so as not to damage the explicit and implicit potential of this encoder. After all, what is Helix? It is the pinnacle of the engineering thought of its time, the product of an (almost) lost school of offline-first, non-bloated, good enough to survive decades without Patch Tuesday software, just as the pigment recipes with which medieval artists created their masterpieces were (almost) lost.
