      the idea of this video is cool and all but it is practically useless if we do not know what compression codec is being used. is it aac? speex? opus? the quality of audio can vary significantly based on the audio compression codec

    • @infradragon
      @infradragon Год назад +9

      in addition, the audio is compressed by RUclips as well as the editing software you use, and so the perceived audio quality is lower than it would be in a real use case.

      @cube-nite Год назад +160

      16 to 32 is only a 16 kb difference, and both are worse than average, so it's hard for us to differentiate. 32 to 64 is doubling the quality, and 64 is quite decent. 64 to 128 is less noticeable because both are high quality. It's like FPS: 30 to 60 is a big difference, but it starts diminishing especially when you get to 144+.
      256 is misleading because I believe 256 is only on RUclips music or something. If I'm wrong and 256 is indeed on RUclips, I guess the diminishing benefit thing really shows there.

    Different people have different opinions on what sounds good based upon how well you can hear, and the quality of your headphones. With my cheap headphones there is barely a difference between 64/128/256, but if I plug in a high range set of quality headphones the difference is pretty dramatic. This is exactly what I needed to determine the bitrate to encode for my kid’s cheap headphones, 64kpbs all the way! 😁

      @dramaticnormanbates2605 2 года назад +101

      I think you should use ~64 kbps Opus instead, 64 kbps MP3 is just not capable of capturing the beauty of music. Speaking of the crappy sound system, I picked up my cheap earphones worth about 10 euros and did a blind test on it, and the ~64 kbps Opus was indistinguishable from the 128 kbps MP3 files. It's a disgustingly efficient audio format. At ~128 kbps it basically hits audio transparency.

      RUclips uses Opus @160Kbps VBR and that is sometimes higher quality than a MP3 @320Kbps.
      Opus is the best audio codec for 64Kbps+ Music. It's the successor of OGG Vorbis. It's nearly 60% more efficient than MP3. Listening tests done by Audiophiles gave 192kbps opus a perfect score. 192kbps is indistinguishable from flac, even to audiophiles. 192kbps MP3 got a poor score. Even 320kbps MP3 didn't get a perfect score.
      Also, the *251* in *251 opus* isn't the bitrate, it's the format code.
      251 = Opus 128 ~ 160Kbps VBR
      250 = Opus 64Kbps VBR
      249 = Opus 48Kbps VBR
      600 = Opus 32Kbps VBR

    Do keep in mind that thus can vary WILDLY depending on what audio format you use.
    OGG Vorbis and Opus can encode audio in very low bitrates but sound like 192 - 240kbps still.
    Their compression algorithms are extremely clever and well designed, able to shave off a lot of bits with no audible loss in quality.

    I can tell a good recording / production from a bad one. I can usually tell a remastered version from an original track.

I was expecting it to sound horrible, but it actually sounds remarkably good. I think that's just a testament to how good digital audio really is today. Sure the higher bit rate recordings sound better and unquestionably have more dynamic range to them, but even at 16 kbps there is more than enough sound quality and fidelity there to be able to completely enjoy listening at that level.

      Dude . Anything below 320 kbps sounds terrible on quality headphones and speakers. It's especially true for dj's..... on massive and high end speakers of clubs amd bars, a dj would be totally embarrassed to play those because the sound system amplifies everything. If the source material is crap, then u re fckt, and u will never get hired again by that venue. 320 kbps is great, but I don't play mp3s, I play flac and wav files which are easily in the 900's to 1780 kbps range - my files anyways. So u can imagine how clean they would sound on high end dj equipment and speakers 😮😮😮

    I think you should've used a song with higher pitched synths or strings/horns for a better comparison in 128/256. It is pretty hard to tell the difference without many layered, you need a good ear for details but it becomes pretty obvious when high strings sound a bit pitchy or compressed. Then again, I guess depends on how well it is encoded to begin with.

      @@koffisverygoodforhealth That's incorrect as fuck tho. If you use Spectrograph most of the qualities are reaching 20,000hz aka 320kbps. Obviously you can see a line on 16,000hz point in 144p video because youtube AI removes some unnecessary high frequency sounds to reduce the file size. Furthermore audio spectrum for 1080p is exactly same as 240p.
      So from 240p onwards, there is no audio quality difference on youtube, the audio you listen is 320kbps.
      And even the audio as a whole you get is not that bad as some websites claim, like - “stop watching video songs on RUclips they are only 128kbps”. (they are actually not)
      Moreover you can see the same song on wynk music playing at so called - “Super high 320kbps settings”. Frequencies cut off at only 17,000 Hz. That means ~ 190kbps.
      Humans can also hear up to 20khz, so you can very much hear the difference...

    First, I was on iPhone with the standard Apple earbud, it was no difference between 128 and 256. So then I moved to my PC with a K-5 Pro DAC and AKG K257 studio headphones and BAM! Still no difference. I'm pretty sure that you need a track with more instruments covering from the lowest to the highest dynamic range to tell the difference. -12dB lowpass to +12db highpass. The track being played in the video doesn't have enough information. People who say they can tell the difference between those two must have superhuman hearing ability or out-of-this-world audio devices, or simply are victims of the psychological effects.

      Funny thing is, that between 128/192/256 - there's not much of a difference to *humans*, as our ears genuinely have limits to what they can hear. You can *absolutely* pick out the differences in quality above 128 if you know what to listen for exclusively, but there's not enough gain between 128 / 256 to fret over it (unless you're cranking the music), tbh. I spent a few years on this, to realize that my Studio Monitors didn't sound much different than my 200 dollar speakers with a DAC when push came to shove.
      The difference between analog and digital is more pronounced than the difference between digital compression rates at the higher end, imo.

      Take any test between 128 and 320kbps and it'll show you *real quick* that you can't always tell the difference, you just *think* you can.

  • @netorego87
    @netorego87 2 года назад +37

    Se você for parar pra pensar, o formato mp3 surgiu num contexto em que a Internet ainda engatinhava no que se refere a banda larga. Retirar um áudio de CD em wav a 1411kbps requer cerca de 90MB de espaço físico, enquanto que o MP3 128kbps reduz para aproximadamente 9MB. Ou seja, uma redução em quase 90% do tamanho mantendo uma qualidade de áudio aceitável (embora irrisória, se comparado ao CD.)
    Como a Internet de banda larga se popularizou bastante nos últimos 10 anos, não faz mais tanto sentido o uso de formatos tão comprimidos.
    O próximo passo, acredito, seja popularizar ainda mais os serviços de streaming de áudio baseados em formatos de compressão sem perdas, a exemplo do flac.

    It should be also noted which codec is used. This seems like MP3 codec (most widely used), which frankly isn't the worst codec, but definitely not the best. For some reason it's most popular tho. If you did the same comparison with Opus (probably the best and most efficient codec so far), results would be vastly different.

    • @randominternetguy88
      @randominternetguy88 Год назад +2

      Mp3 is the most popular audio codec because of it's easy accessibility. Cheap media players can easily access mp3 and most audio in mp3 codec are small in size, so you can store a large amount of them while they take very little space. Although it's rather outdated when it comes to quality, it's definitely preferred due to how easily available mp3 is.

    • @okaravan
      @okaravan Год назад +1

      Music is usually encoded at high bitrates for better quality. And at high bitrates (192 kbps and higher) the difference between the codecs (MP3, AAC, Vorbis, Opus) is negligible. So there are no big advantages of using something other than MP3. And MP3 is the most compatible audio format, which is supported by everything for decades. There are millions and millions of hardware players supporting only MP3 and nothing more. And they use highly optimized hardware decoders, allowing them to work longer from accumulators. All the patents on MP3 are expired long ago, so that's not an obstacle now. And there is free MP3 encoder (LAME), which was highly optimized for different types of music, for many years.

    • @CZghost
      @CZghost Год назад

      Yes, I agree. MP3 is very easy to use, it's now free codec that's been released to the public, and for many devices it's the only supported format. Opus nowadays however starts to get more recognition, it's even more efficient in compression algorithms, and it's a completely free and open source audio codec, which finds its usage in video files for audio encoding. Anyway, I didn't notice much of a difference between 16kbps and 32kbps audio, but from there, even 64kbps was a huge step up in sound quality. Opus and VP9 (or nowadays AV1) are on the rise, and even RUclips supports those video and audio codecs. The only question is how many browsers and their versions support those relatively new formats.

    RUclips limits audio playback to 128kbps resolution. It also uses lossy compressions.
    Most computers - especially laptops and smartphones - have audio chips limited to 64kbps resolution.
    And, while this demo video is an exception, most audio is sampled at 64kbps, it just can't and won't ever sound better than that regardless of how high-fidelity your "audiophile" gear might be.

  • @InvalidUser18

    16kbps sounds like it's clipping heavily in the low end and watery in the high end. 32 is about the same. 64 only had a slight wateriness in the high end. 128 actually still removed a high end noise sweep from where the clap starts. 256 is perfect.
    I should mention that in order to meet the requirement of only 64kbps that mp3 has to do a lot of crunching. .ogg opus can easily do the same thing as mp3 but better. Often times when I try and upload a song to discord or any sort of audio file that's over 2 minutes long, it's over the default file limit. So I will find myself in a daw exporting the MP3 to 256 opus. It's so much better. I would say that opus is roughly 1/3rd the size as mp3 with the same quality. Please stop using MP3s. They're too big. But to be fair, MP3 has more support than .ogg I think.
