it was just to test, as mentioned, I did an extra test with the -V4 VS the old -V1,
without the use of --athlower. The findings are the same. JS quality
is not good at all. (in any case)

so this produces files averaging > 270kbit/s (-V1 -q1), that sounds very
poor and >230kbit/s average (-V4) sounding equally poor.
While my older 220kbit/s V1 file sounded perfect?

I found it to do the same + introduce noise.

I spent a whole afternoon (7 hours) trying and not 1 file I tried sounds better in any
way.
- JS files -> suffer big Q losses
- S files -> seem ok
