Hello,
Roel, maybe you should give these settings a try on that track:
-V1 -mj -b128 -q2 -d -k --nspsytune --athlower -35 -X3
The bitrate stays pretty low (~224kbps) and it sounds very good... almost identical to
the original. These are the only settings I could find that produce a smaller file
than using 256kbps that still sounds good (actually it sorta sounds a bit better..
seems the noise is less harsh than that generated by 256kbps). I'd like to hear your
thoughts on these settings.
