I have mentioned this previously, when discussing that in original release version of 2024, rendering an MP3 file would bomb when exporting at 48000. The PG solution was to make it render at 41000, even if set to 48000.

That being said, there's a great difference even at 41000, between what is rendered in BIAB to an MP3 and what you hear while playing back the chord sheet in BIAB (2024 1108), making it hard to do a mix that's to be rendered to MP3. What I hear when playing back is very different than the rendered file.
Playback has a much more open sound, less compressed/squashed sounding.

To demonstrate this, I've placed a link below that shows two files...
One I've labeled "Test Track 1" which was captured from BIAB using the WAV button and rendering an MP3.
The other "Test Track 2", I captured using loopback in Audacity and rendered to MP3 from there.
They both were done with the same settings, but the Audacity render sounds exactly like what I hear when playing back in BIAB. The BIAB render sounds like "mush" (poetic license) in comparison.
Judge for yourself, but please give listen through on each,

As I've said, I've mentioned this before, but from the previous responses, it doesn't appear that the render quality is a major concern.

Thanks.
