new lame version makes vbr bitrate lower than lame 3.98??

[oaltay89]

Hi everyone

I was using dbpoweramp 13.1 with lame 3.98. After i reinstalled windows i couldnt find old version so i installed latest version of dbpoweramp 16.5 with lame 3.100. Now i realize whrn i convert music from flac to mp3 vbr i am getting less bitrate than before. And i can hear that lower quality than before.

For example, when i convert a flac song i was getting 258 kbit vbr, right now with same options i am getting same son around 205 kbit. Do you know why is that? And how can i change it???

It is likely lame was tuned internally, you can try setting a higher quality mode.
