I hope people are not re-encoding, page 1

For anyone who is taking a lower bitrate and re-encoding it to a higher bitrate, do not do it.  Re-enoding to a higher bitrate is adding kb's that are not there.  So when you take a 128kbps and make it 192kbps or take a 192kbps and make it 256kbps or 320kbps you are adding something which is not there.  what I mean is your programs and computer can not make a mp3 file better.  If you take a 128kbps file and re-encode it to 192kbps you are actually making it worse than its original 128kbps! . Thanks  

This torrent is re-encoded and I am sure there are more https://www.tribalmixes.com/details.php?id=7569&viewcomm=17998

fine topic, thank you

Agreed, we done the live streaming from Club Space for the winter music conference at 128 I did not post the files as the company did not want me too, but I saw someone post the recorded session from our stream and was re-encoded to 192 not good.
