I'm using the command below to convert from wav to flac:
ffmpeg -i "input.wav" -af aformat=s16:44100 "output.flac"
The bit-depth and sample_rate are ok, but is the command converting the
audio from CBR to VBR.
What should I add in the above command, or what command should I use for
the audio to keep the
CBR format in the FLAC output?
See the conversion results below:
