Note: The method used to make these mp3s gives them the best possible sound quality (for an mp3 that is) no matter what "Nicejob" says (not really so nice)

Thanx :)

Thanks a lot

thank you

just went through it, great job, this will replace the other rips i have :)

''Taken from PC-Rip and assembled in Audacity and exported to MP3 320 kbps


Next time when you export something,do it as flac or wav.You will avoid quality loss.Converting mp3 to mp3 result degradation.If you do it as flac you can convert to mp3 and result the same quality as original.

Thanks :)

Note: the game uses mp3s

1.
original mp3 > flac > mp3

what I did

2.
original mp3 > mp3

I would think that option 2 would be the same or better, not worse

because converting to .flac does not magically make the originals better right? (I don't claim to be an audio expert here)

but hey like I said, I did this for myself

thanks for this

When you want edit something from lossy you must do it as wav or flac for avoid quality loss.Option 2 its worse method.You edit not just converting.Even if you convert mp3 to mp3 result quality loss.
I know original files was mp3 but you change their channels then saved them as mp3/So you recompress them again.All people know mp3 is an compressed audio format not a lossless.
Remember:edit in lossless avoid further quality lose.I saw these on google.Edit in mp3 and save as mp3 is the second recompression wich is worse than first and first is worst to.
People always ask in this forum:why is in flac and in games is in lossy?Why people convert lossy to lossless?
Because audio segments from games need to be edited to look as in game when you play.A song can have 10 or more segments.1 Quitar,2 Bass,3 Ambient etc.These must mixed together and save as flac or wav.Thats why you will see always gamerips in flac or wav.
Hope you will understand.Mp3 to Mp3=Damage Mp3 to Lossless=The same Quality.No quality loss.

''Every time Audacity makes a new MP3, it adds compression damage to the sound and you can't stop it. You can export as 320 quality MP3 and that helps a lot, but the file sizes go way up. Obviously, you can export as WAV and there is no further damage no matter how much editing you do.''

I know this project is for yourself,but you don't wanna have the same quality as in game?

Look the prove.

I know lossless formats are better than mp3, however I use mp3 because that is what my player uses.
so the only goal I had was to make the best sounding mp3 at 320 I can.
(If I was thinking about the fact that I might share this when I started the project, I might have done .FLAC)

(If the only point of your original post was FLAC/WAV is better than MP3 then Duh! (do you post that "FLAC/WAV is better than MP3s" on every forum thread with MP3s in it? Almost everybody knows that)



In reading the link you sent, what I see is this

"Audacity will convert it into its own project format which is lossless" (perhaps you where not aware of this?)


so what I did was

A. mp3 (original gamefiles) > audacity (lossless) > mp3 (A)


what you said would be better is

B. mp3 (original gamefiles) > audacity (lossless) > flac or wav (lossless) > mp3 (B)


This still does not make any sense to me, that somehow "mp3 (B)" could sound better than "mp3 (A)"

keeping in mind that "the only goal I had was to make the best sounding mp3 at 320 I can"



nothing in your last post seems to explain that

A clear explanation of how "mp3 (B)" is better than "mp3 (A)" would be very appreciated

Thanks



P.S. I don't want this to seem like an argument or anything, I just want to understand clearly


edit: hmm, I find it strange that over here you say that the only advantage of converting mp3 to flac is bigger file size "Just big file size than mp3"(which I take to mean "Just a bigger file size than mp3")

Your knowledge about editing audio files is ... i give up explain why,what and how.Nvm.Keep loving compressed lossy garbage audio format and save them always as lossy.Hhhhhh:D

wow no one even listens

I stated very clearly


What I did

The only steps I did

original files > lossless > 320 mp3 (because that is the format of my player)

same thing but restated

mp3 (lossy) > Audacity (lossless) > 320 mp3 (lossy)

if the last step was to .FLAC (or other lossless format) would it sound better? YES! BUT IT WOULD NOT WORK ON MY MP3 PLAYER (DUH!)



How can this be clearer?


I am VERY aware the difference between FLAC and MP3



dschiv you obviously have not carefully read my posts, the original game files are in mp3 (why butt in?)



Nicejob you must be a troll (why I feed you... I have no clue)

1 The Original Files


2 (for those of you who do not know, Audacity has a project format which is lossless)

What Nicejob said is, there is a way to get a better sounding MP3

He is WRONG!

Your knowledge about editing audio files is ...

More than you (Nicejob) could ever dream of having?

Yep that is it




edit #1: the funny part about this, is that my VERY FIRST post made it VERY CLEAR what I did

"Taken from PC-Rip and assembled in Audacity and exported to MP3 320 kbps"
Step 1:Taken from PC-Rip Step 2:assembled in Audacity Step 3: exported to MP3 320 kbps

I guess some people need reading glasses www.thegiftofsight.org (http://www.thegiftofsight.org/)



edit #2: Nicejob you just did a nice job (HAHA see what I did there? NA you just hit reply without reading my posts, silly me for thinking otherwise) of removing all the joy out of sharing a mostly unreleased (officially) soundtrack,
the question in the future will be, should I share it and put-up with peoples garbage? or just listen to it myself
(Yes with my SWEET! mp3 player)

and to dschiv, backing up this troll without reading my posts? really? REALLY??
"you exported the tracks (to) mp3 320 for editing" I NEVER SAID I DID ANYTHING LIKE THIS!!!!

what on earth is wrong with you people SERIOUSLY!

mp3 (lossy) > Audacity (lossless) > 320 mp3 (lossy)

Nicejob is correct.

The original files were lossy, you edtied them as lossy, and then EXPORTED THEM AGAIN as lossy.

They are less in quality than the original game files because every single time you export in lossy, you lose a little more.

Lossy file -> Mixdown in Audacity -> Lossy export -> more lossy than the original file.

Every time you export/reconvert a file through audacity, or any editing or convertsion software or conversion in LOSSY. YOU GET LOSSY.

Exporting an mp3 as an mp3 will result in quality loss.

As the first post stated..

Game file -> Mixdown in Audacity -> export as mp3 -> quality loss
Game file -> Mixdown in Audacity -> export as flac/wav/aiff/alac -> NO QUALITY LOST.

I hope that clears things up a bit.

EVERY TIME you convert something as lossy, even if it's mp3 320 to mp3 320, YOU WILL LOSE QUALITY.


so the only goal I had was to make the best sounding mp3 at 320 I can.

Exporting it as mp3 320 from Audacity resulted in a lower quality than the original file.
I think YOU need to understand how lossy codecs work.

What do you prefer?

1. A 20 MB FLAC file from a 10 MB mp3 file that sounds the same.

2. A 10 MB mp3 file from a 10 MB mp3 file that sounds 1% worse.

Just stating the facts that lossy to lossy conversion degrades quality and that the OP's knowledge is false.
Lossy and Lossless, also, do not sound the same.

If you like, I'll go into detail regarding both concepts, the science, the technology, the psychology, just say the word.

Also I prefer lossless, nothing less.

So if I convert a 320kbps mp3 file to FLAC, will the FLAC sound better? Just asking. If they sound the same, I prefer mp3 because it's lighter.

No. You can't "magically" gain what has been lost; the resulting FLAC file will still retain the same quality of the MP3 file.

Flac is a lossless container. Anything you put in it doesn't lose quality. Think of it like Tupperware. FLAC is a brand new diamond box and anything you put in it is preserved forever. Mp3 is a cheap cardboard box that will lose quality upon first use and the more you use the box the more damaged it will become.

Speaking about the codec aspect not the audio itself.

wow Zaralyth please READ my posts before commenting please!!!!

ALL I WANTED WAS MP3s FOR MY MP3 PLAYER
YOU CAN"T PLAY FLACs ON AN MP3 PLAYER.
DUH PEOPLE

I am fully aware of the way flacs and mp3s work
If I was going to make CDs I would have done lossless


If you do it as flac you can convert to mp3 and result the same quality as original.

When I saw this statement I doubted my knowledge (I should not have)
the way I made the mp3s for my MP3 PLAYER was fine

END OF THREAD PLEASE (MODS DELETE)

In the future I will remember not to share anything (or not)

Thanks
