Hi!
New test piece: "The Ecstasy Of Gold" by Ennio Morricone; <10sec; (very
complex part!)
The Encoders: lame 3.70; lame 3.81BETA; FHG 3.1DEMO; SCMPX 1.51; (constant
bitrate; 128kb/sec; highest possible quality;)
Personal rating (sound quality only):
1st place: The original sample.
2nd place: FHG MP3ENC 3.1 Demo (-qual 9)
This is the one and only encoder I found, which does not make any
additional noise.
However the bells sound a little bit different. (not a LAME problem)
3rd place: LAME 3.81 BETA (-h) (no real difference to v3.83)
Best quality! But there are some high frequency metallic
vibrations. (at ~6kHz?)
4th place: LAME 3.70 (-h)
More high frequency metallic vibrations. Sounds like low cost
trumpets are used.
(resonance between the metal parts of the trumpets)
These vibrations even occur, if the trumpets are not playing.
5th place: SCMPX 1.51
This one even makes additional noise.
This was very exhausting- I hope it is of any use!
5 files=2.4MB; Any place to upload/mail?
