Recording- CBR vs VBR vs ABR

[muzzadj]

I got a new piece of recording software and where i choose what bitrate i want it has a choice of CBR, ABR and VBR. Whats the difference? And what one should i use to record a mix for? Cheers

i didn't know what they stood for - i googled it, took me 2 minutes to understand.

Na didnt bother just relying on the forum as thats what its here for

Constant Bit Rate
Variable Bit Rate
Average Bit Rate

I would say go for the CBR

CBR all the way

Also CBR for using CDJs too, VBR takes like a million times longer to load and skip thru, ABR is barely used!
