Hi All-
I've been playing around with the latest version of GoGo-no-Coda. In the
setup portion of the program the user can disable psycho-acoustics. The
program says that when encoding at < 128 kbs, quality of encoding is
improved with psycho-acoustics enabled. The implication given is that
enabling psycho-acoustics offers little or no benefit when encoding at bit
rates >= 128 kbs.
Is there general agreement on this? Does this apply to LAME as well? If
so, I'm wasting a lot time since the encoding is of course much faster with
psycho-acoustics disabled.
How does one do this with LAME? At the beginning of the usage file that
comes with LAME it says that when using -f there are no psycho-acoustics,
but later on it says that -f disables noise shaping and that
psycho-acoustics are computed.
