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!

Question. I have used a short selection in the abx mode for a given sample. Once I use test mode,not training mode, I cant erase my results and try again in test mode. I can only use training mode even though I am checking a different time frame of the sample.
Is it supposed to be this way or can I reset back to test mode? |

Don't start test mode until you have heard a complete sample and choose your "worst" section before starting the test mode. |

Don't start test mode until you have heard a complete sample and choose your "worst" section before starting the test mode. Thanks. I tested a few sections that I had been able to abx in practice mode and failed during the actual test. I was then able to pick another section that I was able to detect in practice mode but could not repeat the testing. This is the first time I have used abx/hr. I will run more practice tests in the future before making a definitive test. |
