From what I understand, VBR (variable bitrate) uses some kind of algorithm to adjust the bitrate according to what is going on in the file..IE, near silence will require less than would would be used at a constant bitrate. However, I have spoken to a few people I would consider a bit more

But back to your original question, VBR may produce slightly smaller file sizes if you record at extremely high bit rates; but I will guarantee that this is not true when you record at lower

hi vbr makes a smaller file. you set limits as to how much data it will encode, say between 96 and 192 kbps. the encoder will analyze the music and do what it thinks is good quality encoding between those specified limits. the advantage of that is you get a smaller file. the advantage of cbr is
