Stream Audio/Video Bitrate Split
Split a total stream bitrate cap into video and audio so you stay under the platform limit with clean audio.
Your encoder's total output is video + audio, but most people set only the video number and quietly exceed the platform cap once 160 kbit/s of audio is added. Reserve audio first (128–160 kbit/s AAC for music-quality, 96 for voice) then give the rest to video. This keeps you legally under the cap with clean sound.
