I read an article on the rmix site saying that joint stereo produces better sound quality than stereo? is this true? why is that?

Originally posted by PodMan For LAME, the developers themselves state joint stereo is the only way to get maximum quality. Even their insane setting uses joint stereo. A 320kbps joint stereo will sound better than a 320kbps normal stereo. |
Originally posted by Audio&Me I don't trust mp3 encoding's accuracy on when to decide both channels are the same, infact I refuse to believe that they are ever both the same with an exception to electronic music. The though of joint stereo makes me sick, I can't help but think you lose all kinds of fidelity in using it. I doubt the "engineers" know much about audio quality, they just base everything on paper. |
