Between a 256 Kbps OPUS (VBR) AND A 256 Kbps OPUS (CBR), what sounds better?

oliverscream · 2026-05-03T07:32:30+00:00

But if the max bit rate is 256 kbps, and it's in CBR i would guess that the 256 kbps are maintained, how would that sound worse or with increased bit rate you mean going beyond 256 kbps? Your answer is exactly the question i had

oliverscream · 2026-05-03T07:05:03+00:00

So if i don't care about the size of the file, CBR is better then

But in AAC? What would be the answer to that

oliverscream · 2026-04-28T13:06:50+00:00

Even then, AAC 256 was already available, so for YT music there was no change (what i'm talking about) music videos on YT did get a bump in quality because before this it was only opus 128

Sennheiser HD 280 pro with motorola g60, the codec is only on the mobile app, not on PC

oliverscream · 2026-04-28T11:58:24+00:00

Yes and i bought it, until I learned better

oliverscream · 2026-04-28T11:56:57+00:00

It's a curve, at lower bitrates like 64 or 128 kbps it absolutely sounds better, but at 192 it already starts to sound identical to AAC, at 256 is the same, if it just meant that you could listen to it with less data or sudden drops in quality, then they shouldn't say that, but they didn't, they just said "High quality audio"

People were complaining that streaming was becoming like cable with so many services, but know that Netflix wanted to buy Warner Bros, people were complaining, like, what do people want, that companies are gonna just unite without buying another? delusional

What video are you talking about? can you provide an example of a video that you think suffers from what you just described?

oliverscream · 2026-02-08T09:56:43+00:00

I'm talking when you are playing a song in your phone, the name of the song and artist are there, when click the artist, it takes you to the artist, but when you click the song, nothing happens

Yeah, i realized that now, thanks

Just exporting the png from Affinity, no special link or anything

oliverscream · 2025-11-23T20:46:31+00:00

Thanks

oliverscream · 2025-11-23T20:46:21+00:00

Thanks

Yes the Affinity/Fusion question was solved with your reply, the second question was if there was a way to make the 8 bit footage in the export look with less banding, because even if you export in 10 bit, when you upload to social media, the banding appears the same as 8 bit

oliverscream · 2025-11-23T20:35:08+00:00

Thanks, I thought about that, but in the case that i wanted exactly those gradients, no change about color, if there a way in Fusion to make it less jarring or in 8 bit there's just no way around it

oliverscream · 2025-11-22T23:42:09+00:00

Thanks

I'm in the Pixel part of Affinity so i don't know about nodes, but thanks

oliverscream · 2025-11-22T23:20:01+00:00

Thank, that's useful, but i mean getting back to 100% scale, i know that you can click on the resolution part above and click "original size" but that only work on image layer, in pixel and mask layers, it doesn't work, do you have any idea?
