I was listening to some old MP3's created with Boombox at 128 bit and following with some Timetrax MP3's created at VBR 192+. The Boombox MP3's had dramatically better sound range and stereo separation from a 128 bit stream encoded at 128 bit!
The Lame encoder in Timetrax was...well just bad! I had noticed in the past that bitrate is not everything and some encoders are just better than others but I was amazed at how good that 128 bit Boombox stuff was.
Has anyone noticed this? Any suggestions to improve the encoding quality (slider settings ect.)?
