Re: 2.0.3 - 10.8.4 MS ADPCM Conversion causing major distort

I tried a few different bash scripts but I got errors. I've no doubt they were user errors. What would be convenient is if I could set up the shell script in an Automator application and run that on a folder or something. I think I was missing some combo of -r (recursive) and some sort of variable p...

Re: 2.0.3 - 10.8.4 MS ADPCM Conversion causing major distort

Ok, so one more question. Now that I know this is what I need to do, i want to set up a chain for it. When I select ExportWav in the commands menu, I can't get access to any of the things that I would need to set it up and tell it to use the external encoder or really anything else. I'm not sure if ...

Re: 2.0.3 - 10.8.4 MS ADPCM Conversion causing major distort

STEVE WINS. STEVE WINS. Ok, well I still have to use this shitty format, so no one really "wins" except for the lousy game engine, however using sox as an external encoder produces a file that is both the cleanest and without any of the noise bursts. I installed sox into my application directory and...

Re: 2.0.3 - 10.8.4 MS ADPCM Conversion causing major distort

https://www.dropbox.com/s/t5pdq3zn3sey8a3/intro_for_loop_ffmpegadpcm.wav Interesting. The NOISE BURSTS (clarifying that this was the initial problem) Do not seem to be happening when using ffmpegs codecs for wav ms adpcm. The dither however does seem to be a lot louder. I'm not sure if this is just ...

Re: 2.0.3 - 10.8.4 MS ADPCM Conversion causing major distort

A problem that we are having is that we are not totally sure what problem you are talking about. The noise bursts are what I'm talking about, they are very audible and they are not dithering distortion. The noise spikes that can be heard especially after a loud attack followed by less sound, you ca...

Re: 2.0.3 - 10.8.4 MS ADPCM Conversion causing major distort

To be clear, does the audio sound OK in Audacity before you export it? Please look at Audacity > Preferences: Quality. Under "High-quality conversion", what is "Dither" set to? Dither is set to shaped. The initial wav file sounds find when it is playing back in everything. When exported to MS ADPCM...

Re: 2.0.3 - 10.8.4 MS ADPCM Conversion causing major distort

Hey! That sounds pretty cool! Well, for an electronic glitch track maybe, but not for my current project. That is precisely the stuff i'm talking about. Twisted wave switched to something else for the encoding, like i said earlier, i believe SoX which i think a lot of other programs are using as wel...

Re: 2.0.3 - 10.8.4 MS ADPCM Conversion causing major distort

No, the original content creator was logic pro x. Twisted wave apparently does not strip the wave's authoring program from meta.

I'm talking more about between 8 and 9 seconds after the two drum clacks you can hear pfft pfft pfft static sounds.

Re: 2.0.3 - 10.8.4 MS ADPCM Conversion causing major distort

Thanks for the reply Gale. It's not a subtle difference in the compression that i'm talking about, i wouldn't care about that, nor could my ears hear it either! It's actually the static crackles. If you listen from about 8 seconds on, you'll hear some fairly consistent crackling. Especially after la...
