I use dbpoweramp and I encode flac tracks to LAME 3.98r -V2. Usually this results in ~170 to ~220 kbps files (close to 192kbps CBR quality)
Well, not so for 2 As I Lay Dying albums that I have (think REALLY LOUD metal). When I encode those I get 230-270 kbps and of course the resulting files are quite big. My question is: is this a bug or completely natural? Furthermore (if it's not a bug), isn't it just better to encode in 192kbps and get a smaller file, since that's the quality I was going for anyway? Cheers |

QUOTE (pdq) If you really want the best quality while restricting to this approximate bitrate then use abr 192 instead. Or just try a lower VBR setting, which will produce smaller files that may well have an average bitrate more to your liking. |
