MP3 / Re: Low bitrate MP3 (+ unsupported bitrates)

Last post by Klymins - Today at 17:52

Now i'm tried with libopus and it is still terrifying. MP3 is bad for 8kbps too, but looks like opus is worse for music. I guess it can be better for voice. AAC, on the other hand, sounds like a bit better than MP3. I'm going to upload a first few seconds of my test files.

Now i'm tried opus and it sounds horrible for 16kbps and 8kbps compared to MP3. Also it does not support 11025Hz, 22050Hz, and 44100Hz while these are my target sampling rates.

That's very unexpected. Opus should do *much* better than MP3 at such exceedingly low bitrates. Do you have an example file to toy around with?

Edit: If you happen to encode with ffmpeg: Don't use the interal Opus encoder, use libopus.

Edit2: One can encode non-standard bitrates in MP3 in "free format" mode. For instance "lame -b 18 --freeformat music.wav freeformat.mp3". This is, however, non-standard and needs a supporting decoder. This throws away most of the compatibility benefit MP3 has.

Edit3: Also, of course, one can do ABR-encoding with a bitrate target of 18 or 20 kbps.

You're right sveakul :-) I've been using the V2 of the component since mid-2023.

Good to know it hasn't been abandoned!

Looking forward to this still!

I guess MathAudio Headphone EQ component might help? (Never used it)

And: foobar doesn’t remember the state of the side bar (i.e. if it’s shown or hidden) between relaunches.

If you use Playback Statistics, you can create an auto-playlist. Click on Library menu > Playback Statistics > 'Show recently played' > (change the time frame if you like, see query syntax) > click '...' in search bar > Create Auto-Playlist. (Rename the playlist as you like)

Or for JScript Panel 3, there is a Play Log script included.

Use indexOf.

Code: [Select]

//starts with
str.indexOf("Upmix") == 0;

//contains
str.indexOf("Upmix") > -1

Convolver with impulse processed with decent parametric EQ.

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Best way to equalize according to a curve

Last post by widemediaphotography - Today at 16:25

Hello,
I'm trying to improve the response of the He1000 Stealth headphones with foobar. I have already exhausted the possibilities of the default equalizer present in fb2K, but I would like to connect the curve more precisely, for example by checking the attached graph (blue line) I should increase the 1kHz-3Hkz range by a few decibels, and also the range 20-90hz.
What really working solutions currently exist?

Thank you
