What is the best (and professional) MP3 encoder?

[the crackhouse]

I'm looking for a professional encoder to make my wav to mp3.
Actually, my sounds are going out of Reason and I "treat" them to 320 Stereo 44Hz via WaveLab, using lame.

Any recommandations? I really don't know much about it.

Thanks in advance.

maybe im misunderstanding but you seem to have answered your own question

I use wavelab to convert wav to mp3 it appears you already use that?

Maybe it's a great encoder, I wonder if you can choose which frequencies can be shut down to gain space (in another encoder), just to know what tools exist.

I will try DBPoweramp : http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm

I really don't know, bought it with reason and never updated it. I will check that at home and tell ya.

Stick with Wavelab! You can set the encoding yourself.
Just dig a little deeper.
Do some setting/encoding and hear for yourself,
and while listening check your file reducement (Mb, kilobytes)
Note; always use the original file when you encode, otherwise you will be encoding an encoded file... and I will be repeating myself...

I'd guide you but I'm out of my pc untill oktober.
