Since it is at 64 kbps that is what you would expect, but its stands up very

I'm impressed at how well Vorbis stands up at bit rates as low as 64 kbps,
but it was never going to beat AAC at 128 kbps in a month of Sundays.


If AAC at 128 kbps is only just beating OGG at 64 kbps then it is clear that
OGG is superior. What does the OGG file at 128 kbps sound like. Better than
AAC by a long margin I presume.

And haven't you even claimed somewhere that Ogg at 64 kbps beats AAC at 256

OGG at 128 kbps is comparable to the AAC Faac codec at 256 kbps (152 kbps
actual).


In future, please do your homework *prior* to making bold claims.


My claims have all been proven to be true. You are the one who needs to do
some homework before trying (and failing) to dispute them.

No, I wouldn't say it "just" beats it.


then it is
clear that OGG is superior.



No, you're just jumping to massive conclusions again. I think the fact that
you come to some conclusion far, far too quickly and then once your mind is
set you shut out all other possibilities is why you annoy so many people.


What does the OGG file at 128 kbps sound

I've just converted to 128 kbps Ogg, and I can't tell the difference between

I've uploaded files for anybody to listen to, which I think disprove your
points.

Your points were that:

Ogg at 64k beats AAC at 128k - you've now admitted that that isn't true.
Ogg at 160k beats AAC at 256k - I've uploaded files that I think sound the
same, and if others agree then that disproves your other point

I've already wasted loads of time on disproving claims that I was very
confident were false, so I'd like to stop it here, thanks.

Analysis of all the samples with Cool Edit Pro shows that the 128
kpbs AAC sample which you gave me had a frequency response with a
sharp cut off at 17000 Hz whereas the 128 kbps OGG sample which I
made has a response with a sharp cut off at 19000 Hz. Since I
instinctively know what the instruments are supposed to sound like,
being familiar with the genre, I know that the sound of 17000 Hz
sample is wrong even before I notice the compression artefacts
because of the lack of the harmonics from the strings.
OGG Vobis at 128 kbps *IS* better than AAC at 128 kbps and there is
no denying it since it has a higher frequency range and on top of
that is better at encoding to that whole range whereas AAC could
never handle 19 kHz at 128 kbps..


A wider audio bandwidth does not make automatically make the sound
better than a file with a narrower audio bandwidth. For example, if
a file has a wider audio bandwidth but sounds attrocious whereas a
file with a narrower audio bandwidth sounds good, you cannot say
that the file with the wider audio bandwidth has a higher audio
quality. Look, if I'm going to listen to samples, provide some that
aren't of
Greek music, because I don't like it. Then, once you've found
something that other people can bear to listen to, upload the WAV
file and your Vorbis encoding of it.


It's only 8 seconds and it's not even got vocals. Get used to it. The
only alternative is Turkish or Arabic. You liked Kiss Kiss didn't you
?



I think you're mistaking me with someone else, cos I'm sure I've never
kissed you.


Out of touch with the modern Pop scene as well I see. You do know who Holly
Vallance is ?



The Faac encoder *IS* crap because the 256 kbps (152 kbps actual)
AAC samples have a frequency response which cuts off at 16000 Hz.


Who said anything about Faac? We're supposed to be comparing modern,
not old encoders.


Go look up the meaning of mode and is modern.



You're slagging off an entire audio format, so for your claim to be
correct - i.e. that AAC basically performs crap - then I only need to
provide 1 exception (i.e. an AAC encoder that performs well) to disprove
your claim.


Nope. I have proven my claim outright. OGG at 128 beats AAC at 128 by a
factor of two. The encoded files we've just tested prove it.



It is a
crap encoder and now there is no denying it. Even though the 256
kbps (152 kbps actual) encoded sample still sounds better than the
128 kbps AAC sample you gave me, the 128 OGG version I made is on
level terms with the Faac 256 kbps (152 kbps actual) sample or
better. OGG Vorbis at 160 kbps cuts the frequency response short at
20000 Hz
and that is why I can tell it apart from the uncompressed CD sample
since that goes all the way to 22050 Hz. The OGG Vorbis 256 kbps
sample has a response that goes all the way to 22000 Hz (not all the
way to 22050) and that is why I can barely tell it apart from
uncompressed CD sample.


I can remember having an argument with you about audio bandwidth a
long time ago, and if you think that one file has a better audio
quality than another file only on the basis that the audio bandwidth
is wider, then save your breath, because not only are you completely
wrong, I don't want to waste my time discussing it with you.


Don't like Greek music, don't like Turkish or Arabic either probably,



You can try other types of music if you want, I'm just saying that I
didn't like the music you uploaded, and especially listening to it several
times on the trot it was annoying me.


The file I have encoded proves my point like it or not. There is nothing
more to add.



and now won't consider the effects of bandwidth on music of that
genre which is highly demanding of it.



I'm disputing your view that bandwidth has some major effect on audio
quality per se.

Read this, pages 9-10:

http://www.exp-math.uni-essen.de/~dr...plom/bra99.pdf

"5.7. The bandwidth myth
Reports about encoder testing often include the mention
of the bandwidth of the compressed audio signal. In a
lot of cases this is due to misunderstandings about human
hearing on one hand and encoding strategies on the other
hand.
5.7.1. Hearing at high frequencies
It is certainly true that a large number of (especially
young) subjects are perfectly able to hear single sounds
at frequencies up to and sometimes well above 20 kHz.
However, contrary to popular belief, the author is not
aware of any scientific experiment which showed beyond
doubt that there is any listener (trained or not) able to detect
the difference between a (complex) musical signal
with content up to 20 kHz and the same signal, but bandlimited
to around 16 kHz. To make it clear, there are



The author of this article is TALKING OUT OF HIS RECTUM !

Essentially he is saying that people (meaning himself alone since he is
talking out of his arse) can't tell the difference between FM Radio and CD.

some hints to the fact that there are listeners with such
capabilities, but the full scientific proof has not yet been
given. As a corollary to this (for a lot of people unexpected)
theorem, it is a good encoding strategy to limit
the frequency response of an MP3 or AAC encoder to 16
kHz (or below if necessary)."

The author of that article is Karlheinz Brandenburg, the inventor of MP3.


Oh well. No wonder MP3 is so crap.

Now, if I had to choose who knows more about compressed audio out of Mr
Brandenburg and your good self, although it's a close run thing, I'd have
to choose Mr Brandenburg. Sorry.


Mr Brandenburg is an arsehole. He is using insulting MARKETING BULL**** in
order to conceal the fact that his MP3 encoders can't deal with frequencies
above 16 kHz without impairing overall quality. EMPERORS NEWS CLOTHES is
what I have to say. Anyone in the industry that really believes his
insulting clap trap would be wandering the streets stark naked in their
birthday suits right now. OGG Vobis proves that he is wrong in his
assumption that are base on his own bigoted and unproven speculations not on
the facts which as he admits show that people CAN perceive the difference at
higher frequencies. Why else would we now have DVD-Audio and SACD that
sample at around 96 kHz or more ?




You're a bigot, that's what
your are so its pointless listening to anything you say.



I'm not a bigot just because I don't share the same taste in music as you.


You are a bigot because you don't like people which do as prove by your
insulting comments earlier on.

I'm sure, and I'd actually hope that, you wouldn't like the music I like.


These tests clearly show that OGG is a better codec than AAC at all
bit rates


You've still provided no evidence for this.


Oh yes I have.



You've provided no proof of your original assertion.


Yes I have. In fact I have provide proof to go beyond it.



and that I was wrong about saying that AAC at 256 kbps was
comparable to OGG at 160 kbps. In fact its comparable to OGG at 128
kbps. OGG at 160 kbps beats AAC at 256 kbps hands down with the Faac
encoder and will probably beat the Nero encoder too !!!!


Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnn.

No it doesn't. It proves my point entirely. AAC at 128 kbps can barely beat
OGG at 64 kbps. That's nothing to boast about.

I think that disproves your point about 64 kbps Ogg vs 128 kbps
AAC. Would you like me to disprove your point about 160 kbps Ogg vs
256
kbps AAC as well? Okay, I'll reply to this post with a couple of
files to download in a few minutes.


Here's a Zip with the original WAV, Ogg at 160 kbps and AAC at 256
kbps: http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk/samples/stone2.zip (11.0 MB)
I can't tell the difference between the WAV and the AAC file, can
you?

It's totally pointless downloading it since the Sfakianakis sample
defeats AAC entirely and one exception is all I need to prove my
point.



Wrong, wrong, wrong. You're still harping on about the file you
created using some ****ty AAC encoder.


OGG at 128 kbps beat AAC at 128 kbps using your favourite encoder. The
differece between them is MASSIVE.



Nobody has yet uploaded a 128 kbps Ogg version.


OGG goes all the way to 19 kHz
whereas AAC cuts of at 16 kHz. That's a difference comparable to that
between CD and FM radio.



If you continue with this crap I'm going to killfile you, I'm sick of it.
