Following memomai's thread on the subject, a poll regarding your LAME VBR habits.

NB: If you use -V5.5, choose the "-V5 (.XXX)" option.

If you don't use VBR, don't bother contributing; this poll is for LAME VBR users only.

V2, 3.98.2, no floating point values.

Standard is standard...

I think you'd need to start a new topic. If you do, bear in mind that the value is now floating point, so you may need to use options like "-V2(.X)", rather than "-V2". or maybe ask people to round their value to the nearest integer. A separate question asking if anyone is actually using a floating point value may be interesting...
I've got no rights to start a poll.

I think anyone can make a poll. smile.gif

At the moment (210 votes), you can see that more and more people are using other presets than V2. I'm not sure if we can still call it a "standard" in 2008.

QUOTE (Synthetic Soul @ Oct 21 2008, 11:09) *
I've been using -V5 for quite a while now, since guruboolez posted some favourable results (with the 3.97 betas I think). At the time many members were using -V2/--alt-preset standard or -V0/--alt-preset extreme, and I felt quite inadequate. Since then we have had listening tests proving that the setting is transparent to many people, which makes me feel a little better about my hearing.


You exactly summarize my thinking Synthetic Soul.
I've followed Guru's listening tests for years (also en français) with great interest too.
