Even if you set it that way it still runs in vbr just more constrained around the target bitrate set. I actually like the easy settings in the real vbr mode. At q3~96 I was just barely able to abx so I bumped up to 4. Set and forget love win amp. This post has been edited by Mach-X: Feb 15 2013, 15:51
