(OK, and also to make us look good!), we've also included MP3 samples.Ĭomparing music quality of versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 for stereo music at 32, 48, 64, and 96 kb/s.Īn MP3 encoding using LAME 3.99.5 VBR is also provided as an anchor. So you can hear for yourself how the quality has improved and how Opus now sounds in general. Here's a comparison between Opus versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 Of course, you don't need to take our word for it.

After lots ofĮxperiments, that reasoning was proven wrongĪnd now the Opus 1.2 encoder makes full use of VBR even down to 32 kb/s. Reduce the bitrate in some sections just so you can improve more demanding sections. The reasoning was that when you have so few bits, you can't afford to further

In previous versions (up to 1.1.x), the VBR code has always been conservative about One change that does make a large difference all by itself is the low bitrate VBR changes. It's not a huge gain, but when you add many of those, theyĪdd up to a significant improvement. Values and pick whichever minimizes distortion. Rather than quantizing to theĬlosest value, the 1.2 encoder will now (only at higher complexity settings) actually try the two closest Stereo width parameter, quantize it, and encode it to the bit-stream. When using mid-side stereo, the Opus encoder needs to compute a In other cases, we just found better ways to optimize encoding on all signals. Has better frequency resolution (while taking less CPU!), as well as quality improvements on signals This is how we got some adjustments to the bit allocation trim, an improved tonality analysis that now

When we're happy that we have an improvement, we clean it up, make it as general as possible, test it, and merge it.

In case of infinite loop, do some throttling (i.e. If the fix also improves them, then we go to 5, otherwise we go back to 3 (or sometimes to 2).

We look for other samples with the same characteristics found in 2.

We come up with a possible fix that improves the quality of that sample, without making other samples worse.

We investigate to find out what's causing the artefacts and (especially) why this particular sample is affected.

on the mailing list or on the Hydrogenaudio forum) points out a music sample where Opus performs worse than other codecs or just worse than it usually does. That got added to version 1.1), but from many small changes that all add up. Most of the music encoding quality improvements in 1.2 don't come from big new features Even more, we've actually been pushing all the Music at 48 kb/s is now quite usable and while the artefacts are generallyĪudible, they are rarely annoying. Opus 1.2 continues on the path to lowering Suddenly 48 kb/s became a realistic target. However, with variable bitrate (VBR) improvements in Opus 1.1, Thought that 64 kb/s was near the lowest bitrate at which Opus could be usefulįor streaming stereo music. Here's a few of the upgrades that users and implementers willįor music encoding Opus has already been shown to out-perform other To both speech and music, while remaining fully compatible with RFC 6716.

Opus gets another major upgrade with the release of version 1.2.
