Hi Julio! And, welcome to the club. What's your audio gear? Hi Leo. Thanks for the welcome! As for my audio gear, I have these Audio-Technica ATH-M30x headphones: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HVLUQW8 . I read ff123's "Practice With ABC/HR" guide (https://web.archive.org/web/20110611013208/http://ff123.net/64test/practice.html ) to get ABC-HR set up on my machine, and went over the suggested "newkid" session. After that, I used one of @IgorC 's samples to create my own "smoke-test" session to verify that I did set up everything right.1L = smoketest\02 fatboy_30sec Opus 1.2.1 32 kbps.wav 2R = smoketest\02 fatboy_30sec Opus 1.3b1 32 kbps.wav --------------------------------------- 1L File: smoketest\02 fatboy_30sec Opus 1.2.1 32 kbps.wav 1L Rating: 3.0 1L Comment: Very odd voice change at 1s. 'Ringing' artifacts appear to be sligtly worse than sample 2. --------------------------------------- 2R File: smoketest\02 fatboy_30sec Opus 1.3b1 32 kbps.wav 2R Rating: 3.8 2R Comment: First part (with the solo robotic voice) almost perfect. Second part contains some 'ringing' artifacts (esp. at 16.5s). --------------------------------------- ABX Results: It looks like I should be good by now -- I'm ready to try out more samples. What interesting samples/encoder combinations would you like for me to try out? I'm open on ideas. Edit:Here are some hopefully useful links https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,115156.msg952288.html#msg952288 Also You can take a look here https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,16295.0.html Thanks for the links -- I'll go take a look at them.
