Today in "ffmpeg's AAC encoder is still a embarrassment and nobody should ever use it": OBS on Windows using it, at 320kbps, makes music sound like a low bitrate mp3 (metallic hi-hats, etc). No problem with a custom OBS build on Gentoo with libfdk_aac enabled, at *160* kbps.

When I first pointed this out on Twitter the developer in question accused me of audiophile-level snake oil (anyone doing the most trivial ABX test could tell otherwise), and apparently the current sentiment is "we don't care about AAC, people should use Opus". Yeah.

Wow, that's just insanely stupid.

Pervasive badness or can it be saved? I'd hope that something this popular as a default would get some sort of development. Probably doesn't because you can just pick another encoder.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
