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.

I've seen enough attempts to bring this up, from myself and from others. Ball's in your court. That encoder sucks, and anyone doing basic tests with a few nontrivial samples can see that. If you pretend everything's fine while being rude to those who notice, that's your problem.

Unfair to tar the whole project based on the actions of one dev

Despite no clue how to duplicate whatever issue you're experiencing I did a few lazytests and didn't notice a huge difference between aac and libfdk_aac. Sounded fine to me. So at this point all we can offer are apologies for the behavior of the encoder and the rude developer.

If you're serious about listening and fixing this and willing to listen and either improve the encoder or change the documentation to stop claiming it's better than libfdk_aac, I can put together some samples (not now though, busy organizing an event).
