Why does automation only convert to 128kbps MP3s?

I'm trialling automation to convert a bunch of WAV files into MP3s, however it looks like they are being converted to 128kbps MP3s (quite a low bitrate) and there doesn't seem to be an option to change it to a higher bitrate. Ideally I need them converted to 320kbps files. Does anyone have any workarounds?

    Hi Scudda, I hope you're doing well!

     

    Give me some time to check on this internally, and see if there's any more info that I can provide.

     

    Thanks a bunch!

    Hi Scudda! Sorry to jump in. 

     

    After double checking with the team, I’m afraid that the bitrate isn't currently configurable and anything that's converted to MP3 will have the bitrate set to 128kbps by default.

     

    I can most definitely pass your feedback on this though to our team.
