Does anyone here knows how to make SPC files so the first loop of a song has the same volume as the second one ? If so, what are the parameters on Winamp to make this happen ?

What do you mean? Are you referring to this?

To at least stop the "increase volume and beginning then decrease in small 'chunks' every few seconds" thing altogether, to to the Preferences thingy in the Options menu of Winamp.
Go to where it says "Plug-ins" in the sidebar, then select "Input".
Look for "Alpha-II SPC Player", and double-click it.
In the box, select "Custom" for the DSP Emulation.
Next, go to the "Mixing" Tab, and adjust the settings to the following:
Amplification = 0.0dB
Output Threshold = 0.00dB
You will then need to change the AAR option to "On", click "Apply" (NOT "OK"), and then set it back to "Increase" (I have no idea why this is, but it seems to work for me).

I'm not sure whether the 3 tickboxes would affect anything at this point, but I currently have all except "Use Winamp's volume control for adjusting the level" ticked.

The reason for setting the amplification to 0dB, is that there's a 100% guarantee that the volume won't ever change. There is a way to get it to be fixed at whatever you set the amplification to, however, I can't remember how to do that, so this is the best way. Since they'll all be at 0 dB amplification, they will be very quiet, so you will need to amplify them in Audacity, GoldWave or whatever you use to do that kind of thing.

Also, I'm too lazy, but I did actually edit the above quote from the original post that someone added in (I think it was Linkshot), could someone who has access to that account edit the part of the OP with the above amended quote?

Thanks TUK !

Here I come, MMX2 songs !

 

[TheUltimateKoopa]

Don't forget to amplify them after converting them to WAVs . Otherwise, they'll be ridiculously quiet.

Also, moose? I still think this should be what the upload page looks like:

As much as that's a good idea, it seems excessive.

 

[Flame Hyenard]

The Chuck Norris username ? Nope it isn't. =P

In more seriousness, I find it more excessive to constantly reject so-called custom looped BRSTMs when they are actually an E to S type looped song from a video game (which should be labelled as a "Normal" loop) than having this kind of warning on the Upload page.

It might have a "wall of text" feeling, but at least this will avoid most of the "conneries" I've mentionned above.

Wait, hasn't that whole "multiple of 14336" thing gone away because of Brawlbox? I don't think all the songs I've looped properly are multiples of 14336, but they still loop fine in-game...

 

[Flame Hyenard]

DS77 : If you don't have a multiple of 14336 for the loop-point, it just add a bit of silence at the beginning, but the song plays fine. Nothing too bad, but it just avoids this unconvenience (except in a few cases of Custom loops).

Brawlbox aligns the loop points by adding silence to the beginning of the brstm. This isn't preferable at all, so in the encoder that I "made" based off of Brawlbox, I made it copy X number of samples needed to align the loop point off the start loop point and paste it at the end of the end loop point so that it can just shift both loop points up by x samples.

So to get a proper conversion, use this converter instead of Brawlbox.

Nice. Doing that whole process manually was starting to get annoying. Are there any converters that can read files supported by VGMStream, and directly fix the loop points and convert them?

You mean like this?

I've been using something like this, but after you said something, I made it so that you can update vgmstream by just throwing a newer version in there.

 

[soneek]

You mean like this?

Yes exactly like that! Thanks so much! Looks like I can finish up some stuff pretty quickly now.

 

[Segtendo]

So wait.
You made a .VGM (Genesis sound file) converter?
I remember libertyernie integrated one into his Rate Converter. It works wonders.

 

[soneek]

For some reason, all of the looping CFN files from Baten Kaitos have the same starting loop point, around 15 seconds. Lol random, but it's the first time I've seen that.

No, just any format vgmstream supports. If vgmstream adds support for a new file type in the future, just replace the one in the download I posted.

 

[Segtendo]

So...
Is that a new converter you made?

 

[moosehunter]

Sort of? I only added about 20-30 new lines of code.

Edit: Holy crap soneek. I'll have to go through those tomorrow. I'm off to bed for now.

 

[Segtendo]

Lol soneek.

And can anyone help me with my problem? It's on the previous page.

 

[soneek]

Lol I was putting those off for a while and wanted to get them over with. Now I need to get back to tagging this God of War stuff.

 

[moosehunter]

Lol soneek.

Don't worry about Xenoblade, I've all but uploaded it to the site.

 

[Segtendo]

Don't worry about Xenoblade, I've all but uploaded it to the site.

But not Xenoblade Chronicles.

 

[Flame Hyenard]

Tommorrow I'll be going to Poitiers (over 400 kilometers from where I live) for 1 week, because my father wants to repair the roof of our vacation house which begins to brake down.

That means I'll have 1 week to make a lot (if not all) of FFX-2 BRSTMs as well as starting the Hard Corps Uprising BRSTMs.

 

[moosehunter]

But not Xenoblade Chronicles.

They're the same game.

 

[Segtendo]

They're the same game.

What.
Really? O_o
Boy, do I feel silly.

Also, you have your old channel back? Nice.
Oh. It was temporary.

 

[Flame Hyenard]

Uploading / updating some Resident Evil BRSTMs as well as approving Moosehunter's BRSTMs (he's the boss on BCM, so I know all of his BRSTMs are done right )

 

[soneek]

Going through the Black Moon and White Sun remixes. Should have most of them done throughout the day. Well, just the ones that are easy to loop for now.

 

[TheUltimateKoopa]

Woohoo... Page 400! >________>
Lol "easy to loop" makes you sound lazy

 

[soneek]

Lol yeah. Some of them have perfect loops that I can notice with just one listen. Others are a little bit of trouble, but not too much.

The Last Pkmn remix from B & W reminded me of this Kirby medley I heard a while back.

 

[Linkshot]

soneek, Large Concert of the Starry Sky is so amazing.
I've done a couple of its songs.

 

[soneek]

They sound so beautiful.

Edit: I just borrowed GOWIII from someone, so I'll be uploading the music as I play through and figure out where everything goes.

 

[Segtendo]

I'm redoing Sonic Advance 2 using the miniGSF rip.

While I look for loop points, I downloaded Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing for the 360.

I got my favorite track converted from XMA.

 

[~automatic]

ignore plz

 

[TheUltimateKoopa]

Is BCM down? Or is it just me? But then, it's impossible right?
One person not having access to any sites? That's possible.
One site not being accessed by any person? That's possible.
But one specific site being down just for one specific person (or at least network)? Is that possible?

I'll check (it's down)
Yes
Yes
Yes
Shut up

 

[TheUltimateKoopa]

Did... did you just tell me to shut up? That makes me a saaaaad panda.

 

[Segtendo]

That makes me a saaaaad panda.

Gotta love South Park.

 

[TheUltimateKoopa]

Hehe, yeah. Also, I can't wait until we reach Page 601, (at least on the 15 posts per page view), because then that'd mean we have... OVER 9000 POSTS!

 

[standardtoaster]

Doesn't matter the posts per page, the post count will be the same.

 

[TheUltimateKoopa]

I know that.. I meant it'd be Page 601 with 15 posts per page, not that it'd only be 9001 posts with 15 posts per page Also, BCM is still down? *sniff*

Also, just 79 more posts to go.

 

[Segtendo]

I got another e-mail from that mysterious guy, asking about the site.
It's like he's attached to it or something.
