Hello Mark, I put it (temp) on my website: (1.900kbyte) http://users.belgacom.net/gc247244/extra/velvet.zip Ok, I found some _visual_ confirmation of the noise component I keep hearing in the R channel. This is there with vbr_mt, but not with vbr_rh. I used 385: "lame -V1 -mj -h -q1" I used 386: "lame -V1 -mj -h" with newest CVS version (dbQ and scalefac_scale default), thanks Robert :)) In the right channel 5.492s to 5.496s there is a distortion PEAK: 5.85: Mono Min Sample Value: -608 Max Sample Value: 502 Peak Amplitude: -34.24 dB Possibly Clipped: 0 DC Offset: -.086 Minimum RMS Power: -47.79 dB Maximum RMS Power: -36.56 dB Average RMS Power: -42.24 dB Total RMS Power: -41.21 dB Using RMS Window of .01 ms 3.86: Mono Min Sample Value: -1686 Max Sample Value: 1672 Peak Amplitude: -25.68 dB Possibly Clipped: 0 DC Offset: -.052 Minimum RMS Power: -45.08 dB Maximum RMS Power: -26.36 dB Average RMS Power: -33.2 dB Total RMS Power: -31.9 dB Using RMS Window of .01 ms As you see, this is a 10dB difference, and I think I can hear it. Also looks nasty on gfx. I'm guessing it's some JS masking thing because this is at the hight of a peak on the L channel? Hope this info is useful. -- Best regards, Roel mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MP3 ENCODER mailing list ( http://geek.rcc.se/mp3encoder/ )
