Hello Sup Forums - I require you to perform a simple ABX test. Use whichever equipment you have: contrary to popular belief, a shitty equipment may be affected more by a shitty mp3 than real monitor headphones.
I'm shipping three FLACs. One of these is the source file. One is derived from an MP3, obtained from the source. Relevant switches: -m j -V 1 -q 0 --lowpass 22.1 -b 128 -Y -F One is derived from an M4A, obtained from the same source. Relevant switches: --afterburner 1 --bandwidth 18000 --profile 2 --bitrate 224k
To minimize cheating I've chopped off higher frequencies (AFTER encoding). Please don't cheat. Post results.
personally I believe I'm able to tell the difference between the original and the other two, even if I can't distinguish mp3 from m4a

But what is the question you want people to answer?

1) perform ABX test 2) post results 3) ??? as simple as that I guess

>nigger music Yeah no thanks.

Why did you alter the files? What music is this? You probably can't tell if it was mastered incorrectly.

>MP3 Use OPUS

in case you don't know, it's easy to spot a lossy codec just by looking at a spectrogram. frequencies above 16~18MHz are anyway near to be irrelevant as far as the overall quality of the audio is concerned the music is irrelevant
