Lame 3995o vbr -q1 cannot be better than any 320cbr. Helix is old, good yes but still mp3.Just in case for less informed users among us: it's not -q1, but -Q1, a tweaked approach implemented by @halb27.
Do you bother to check the github before you make these comments? Nothing has changed quality-wise.
> In this case ,32 khz makes it worse as the noise has nowhere to go but down the spectrum. In contrast, 48khz works better.There are two different scenarios to consider. The first is that we want to preserve this pathological audio, and the other is we want to salvage it.
Do you mean, it subjectively sounds better at the same bitrate? (I don't think it *has* to always be worse in similar cases. All of the noise has to go to the audible range indeed, but the noise floor can be lower because there are more bits per sample available. It's probably very difficult to truly predict how it'll go in general.)
> When this was converted back to 16-bit most of that noise should have been filtered out.
Why/how? I don't think this is how it works. Converting an integer from less bits to more bits is lossless (perfectly reversible). Do you mean there is some extra step that you'd expect to always happen in tandem with that?
That's what I was afraid of. As soon as the changes began to be committed to Github, enthusiasts started publishing all sorts of binaries daily without explaining what's new. Dig that out of the nerdy depths of the repository yourself. @Case's approach was more user-oriented: he described changes, attached binaries and processed the feedback here.Nobody forces you to download. Besides that above i mentioned the changes to makefile.
Current git x64 generic.
wouldn't the lower frequencies still generate some harmonics in that range during playback?
Thanks a lot for the new update.Huh? Nothing was changed to that part of the code. DUI or CUI?
