- NovaDudely 3y agoYears back when I was about 30 - I was convinced that I could tell between a 128Kbit OGG file and FLAC file. Re-encoding the FLAC's to OGG and mixing them up blindly... nope couldn't tell at all! Nowadays I don't think I would even notice until it gets laughably bad.
- justsomehnguy 3y agoModern codecs and presets are great. Things what were encoded 20 years ago... ain't.
- acdha 3y agoThat’s an exaggeration but even so MP3 distortion isn’t a low-pass filter. There’s one specific problem with it encoding sounds like cymbals but that’s not a function of bitrate. The sad irony here is that using a format which hasn’t been obsolete for a couple decades would have had better audio at a lower bitrate.
