Selecting Constant or Variable Bitrate Encoding

AudioCatalyst provides two different methods for encoding - Constant Bitrate or Variable Bitrate. For detailed information on each of these options, see Understanding Constant Bitrate Encoding and Understanding Variable Bitrate Encoding.

1. From the AudioCatalyst menu bar, select Preferences.
2. From the Preferences menu, select Encoder.
3. In the Encoder Preferences dialog MP3 Mode, select Constant Bitrate (CBR) or Variable Bitrate (VBR).

If you select Constant Bitrate, you need to select the mode and the Bitrate. If you select Variable Bitrate, you need to select the mode and VBR Quality.
