Question / Help It is possible to have a fixed Bitrate audio?

[Terachnos]

I need the audio is at least 192kbps and I can not make exceeding 155kbps in local recording, is there any way to force it?
A greeting and I hope to answer.

If the audio is fitting into the 155kbit without quality loss, why do you want to force it higher?

Are you sure you're thinking of bitrate not sampling rate? 192kbs is a weird bitrate, while 192kHz is a popular sampling rate amongst audiophiles, it's pointlessly high though.

I'm absolutely positive I'm talking about bitrate and not sample rate.

With variable bitrate audio formats, what ends up happening if the audio fits completely within bitrates lower than you specified, the bitrate will actually be lowered by the encoder to save disk space at the cost of absolutely nothing.
The same thing happens in variable bitrate video. If you're giving the encoder more bitrate than it needs to store all the information and are allowing the encoder to run less if it needs less, it will use less when it can.

http://xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html The "audiophiles" that choose the 192kHz sample rate are actually not as smart as they appear.

I was talking to Terachnos...

And yes, I've read that article. Audiophiles believe in a lot of things, not all of them completely wrong, but the 192khz is one of the dumb ones. While it can *technically* reproduce high-frequency sounds 44.1khz and 48khz cant, those aren't consciously audible by humans (not to mention that most speakers couldn't output them anyway).
