Today we have a chance to see the performance of well known AAC encoders like Nero, Apple and Coding Technologies (previous versions of Winamp).
Also Fraunhofer have released their totally new AAC encoder. The following codecs are presented in this test: Nero 1.5.4 Apple QuickTime 7.6.9 true VBR Apple QuickTime 7.6.9 constrained VBR Fraunhofer (Winamp 5.62) Coding Technologies (Winamp 5.61) ffmpeg's AAC (low anchor) The homepage of the test: Public AAC Listening Test @ ~96 kbps [July 2011] There are 20 samples. Please, don't hurry. Take your time as there will be enough of it. It's better to do fewer samples per day and avoid a fatigue. The test will be open during 10 days (until July 27) As always every single result is helpful. Have a good time testing it! |

Yes, every single result is very helpful.
Haven't you saved the individual Sessions? If you did, you can reopen it and add your nick, but I don't know how much work it would save for IgorC. |

Haven't you saved the individual Sessions? No, once I was done setting all the sliders for a sample, I didn't think there'd be any reason to save the session. There was no mention of it in the readme or the practice page. Oh well. I am just kind of curious to know e.g. how much better/worse I am than others at noticing certain differences. Is it necessary or meaningful to use the ABX features? |
