When I export .wav, Reason gives me some options for bitrate. But .mp3 doesn't. Neither is it in the preferences to choose any options. How can I be sure I'm exporting .mp3 at 320kbps? Thanks. p.s. I Googled like crazy, amazing this isn't readily available.

It is only 320kbps.

Thanks, I found a way I prefer in Ozone 8, which allows you to specify during export. It's good to know Reason is 320kbps though. Not that I care, but Audiojungle wants that :mrgreen: :shock:

Ozone standalone, you mean?

Yeah I'd like some options (because why not), but good enough that it defaults to the highest bitrate.

Yes I just drag and drop the .wav or whatever into Ozone standalone, then export it without processing. Or run the Master Assistant to make a mix for a particular platform, or to match a reference song. Mine also runs as a plugin in the DAW.

Why would you want an even worse option for a format that is lossy to begin with, if you can just watermark it anyway? What are the uses? Just curious.

For comparison I don't think Live 10 has any options for MP3. It just plops out at 320. I don't think there's any good reason in 2020 for reducing the quality of an MP3! Storage is cheap. Internet is fast. Happy days!

Just in case, do not export when using the MP3 preview mode on the ozone plugin. It sounds silly, but you never know what is the level of knowledge and understanding of a stranger. :)
