Here is something y’all MIGHT like: Pain - I’m Going In. “DUDE, YOU HAVE GOTTA HEAR THIS!” is me when I recommend Mushroomhead songs, especially Ego Trip, Flattened, Born Of Desire, The War Inside, Save Us, The Feel, Your Soul Is Mine, For Your Pleasure, Among The Crows and Sound Of Destruction.

Dude you have got to hear this

Regardless, efficiency is crap… because with 128kbps Apple AAC it’s not perfect but it’s mainly the upper frequencies (8khz plus) that are a little chopped up… but besides that it sounds very good and by 160 you’re extremely close to full transparency (V0 of LAME)… probably somewhere between V2 and V1 at 160… but that’s very good
 
So my point is that the Youtube AAC is just crap… I think they updated it and now they use Opus, though.. and a lot of it is how it is encoded before being uploaded
 
But that “18khz should be 16khz blah blah blah” doesn’t matter too much… the bitrate it’s using on the 16-18khz frequencies should have been at the most half of what it uses on the more important ones

Eh, we all go a little overboard sometimes.

@Rainboom Dash  
Wow, I wrote WAY too much info
 
Anyway, either it was encoded wrong BEFORE uploading, or it was an old version of 128 AAC
 
Difference between 16 and 18khz cutoff probably wouldn’t be too significant… 5% more bitrate to use at the most.. small difference

Dude, you have gotta hear this!

DUDE, YOU HAVE GOTTA HEAR THIS!
 
Wow… YouTube quality sucks
 
Oh well… The MP3 download is in the description and it’s available in lossless on the balloon party album
 
Why does YouTube have to use such horrible encoders… You know… If they set the cutoff frequency to 16khz instead of 18khz then it would sound a lot better
 
Seriously.. Why do encoders try to go higher than 16khz at 192kbps.. Even high quality MP3 encoders shouldn’t do that
 
MP4 can do it but it’s more efficient
 
Of course I can only hear up to 16khz… Probably due to listening to music too loud when I was younger
 
Says the average for my age is 17 so I guess it’s not far off
 
Okay… I’ll stop talking now
