Why TooLAME/BeSweet and not TMPGEnc’s own audio?

[nhope]

Why are people saying to use TooLAME or BeSweet? What’s wrong with TMPGEnc’s built-in audio? Can anyone really hear the difference?

Yeah, there is a difference. I find the audio created in TMPG has a lot of artifacts. At lower bitrates this can cause noticible audio distrotion. Take the extra time to install the plug-ins.
