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.

Substracting resulting encode of two psycho acoustic codecs is not a proper way to compare audio signal, but yes, the main difference in the high frequency, and I agree with you, I can hear high-pitched 'hiss' too. Check how

I know, but in this case it helps make the difference which I can already hear in an A/B test anyway completely obvious. Here's a side by side comparison without subtracting. The bonus two double encodes at the end are what I was comparing in the stream. https://mrcn.st/t/orig_lame_fdk_ffmpeg_ffmpeg2fdk_ffmpeg2ffmpeg.wav …

Can anyone remind me why we collectively gave up on ogg vorbis? It's because of high bandwidth availability favouring lossless like flac for audiophiles and the huge availability of mp3 hw decoders for avg users (apple/ms specific formats aside, still shivering thinking at wma)?

Because Opus is better. But it's not well supported yet, so we still need AAC for compatibility.
