I downloaded the RM7 set that was posted here right before I started writing my original post requesting RMX7, and now that I'm going through it, it turns out the set is incomplete. 35 tracks instead of the 37 that VGMdb has listed, and the wrong times listed for the tracks.

yeah u r right. probably 'cuz the RM7 soundtrack we can find here is a gamerip instead of an official one.

Well the "official" MM7 OST has sound effects in the music and dumb looping issues and stuff. I'd just stick with the rip. :)

And thank you for EXE 5DS & 6 OST Snkhero! Downloading now.

But I have a question Snkhero. If you are only going to make 240 MB for each part of the 400 MB allowed for Hotfile, then why not just use Mediafire (which has a limit of 200 MB)? That way people don't have to wait an hour after each download. Also, I think links tend to stay up longer on Mediafire. But I guess Mediafire does tend to corrupt uploads a bit more often than Hotfile.

The reason I avoid gamerips goes way back to Blaster Master. I loved the Blaster Master soundtrack and I was really hoping it was available, only to find out that no such soundtrack was ever released. So I decided to suck it up and look for a gamerip of it. I eventually hunted down an .nsf of it, and I tried it out. And I suppose it sounded okay, I never actually analyzed it for hiccups or whatnot. But what bothered me was that there was no logical end point to the tracks. The tracks started normally, but then the song just looped until it hit the three minute point. It just grated on my nerves for some reason that the tracks didn't end when the song actually ended, it turned me off Gamerips in a big way after that and I deleted the .nsf.

Um, I'm pretty sure for NSFs it just depends on what plugin you're using. I have one that does what you described it doing, and one that does what you WANTED it to do.

Sadly, I misspoke. :( I was downloading the copy that was posted here (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f72/lossless-video-game-soundtrack-thread-links-first-64743/399.html#post1536803) when I wrote up that list, only to find out when I got home last night that it was missing tracks. As atobekeigo2 wrote, it's apparently a rip, so I'm back to trying to find that OST again too. :S My thanks for Rockman.exe 5 DS & 6 as well.


Um, I'm pretty sure for NSFs it just depends on what plugin you're using. I have one that does what you described it doing, and one that does what you WANTED it to do.
I was using the foo_nsf plugin for FooBar. Like I said, I'm not all that experienced in GameRips, so when I did research in how to play .nsf files for those Blaster Master tracks, I simply picked the one that seemed most likely to be the easiest to convert the tracks into .wav. Whatever page it was I went to said that there was a FooBar plugin, and I knew FooBar could convert formats, so that's what I went with. Wasn't aware different plugins played the tracks differently. Do you know if there is a simple program to create .nsf files out of the .nes files directly?

I'm not particularly experienced with this, so I don't know any program for that, but I also use the foo_nsf plugin, which makes the NSFs go on for the three minutes and fade-out. It's entirely due to foo_nsf, not the actual NSF files. Winamp has a plugin called "NEZplug" that'll play the same exact NSFs that do the three-minute-fade-out for the amount of time the actual song SHOULD play. Since NEZplug plays the files better, pretty much every NSF gamerip in FLAC/MP3 is done using it. So, while playing NSFs in foobar might do that for you, it isn't a problem at all for pre-converted things.

KGN-004
02-11-2011, 01:07 AM
I'm pretty certain that the majority of all chiptune obsessed circles will tell you that NEZPlug++ (http://offgao.no-ip.org/program/nezplug++.html) is the most accurate and preferable for .nsf in the majority of cases. But of course there are exceptions.

What I do is just use NEZPlug++ (keeping the tracks ending at the 5 minute mark, which will encompass 99.9% of all complete tracks on the NES. Only a few scarce tracks break the 4 minute mark) and the Winamp diskwrite plugin to convert the tracks to WAVs. I then use a certain video/audio editor to cut them to the conventional 2 loop, 5/10 second fade (.5 seconds silence in the beginning of the track, 1 second of silence at the end), normalize them to 0.0 db, and convert them to FLAC.

Which doesn't change the fact that transcoding NSF to FLAC is a considerable waste of room.
Moreover, NSF > FLAC is a lossy conversion, still it's the best way to convert nsf to a stream and minimize the loss of audio data.

You guys are missing something about NSFs. NSF files have no set time, they will play however long your plugin's default is set to. The tracks also cannot be given titles. NSFe files have information like titles and track times and fade length. Go to Slick Productions (http://slickproductions.org/nsfe.php) to acquire these, Blaster Master included. You can convert NSFs to NSFe and tag them up yourself though (and if you do, please submit them! Scroll down to the bottom of that page for how to submit). Mnemosys, you should not be put off gamerips because of that experience. NES, SNES, and PSX soundtracks very often sound better in their respective NSF, SPC, and PSF formats than on the CDs, and the tiny size is of course a big plus. Better sound quality for the entire soundtrack in the size of a single MP3, with added customization like changing the length if you want to - that's a lot of reasons to try it out again.

For NSF, different plugins do give different sound and I've seen it said in different places that NEZPlug++ is the most accurate and that NotSoFatso is the most accurate. I myself don't care much for perfect accuracy when NotSoFatso gives me stereo and lets me customize the mixing as I please to get the best sound for my tastes and playback system.



Moreover, NSF > FLAC is a lossy conversion, still it's the best way to convert nsf to a stream and minimize the loss of audio data.

Sorry to contradict you, but no, it actually isn't. What makes you say that? The only way that would happen is if you actually did do a lossy conversion step first.

Because NSFs are basically MIDIs. Notation data for the songs that tell it which of the few instruments to play. Pretty much, it has four lossless instruments (Square 1, Square 2,Triangle, and Noise, going by Famitracker), and data telling it when to play those four instruments (the Famicom in Japan was capable of having more instruments, but that's unrelated).

No it's not a joke snkhero, it's common sense.
No decoder can currently decode NSF 100% accurately.
NEZplug as example, has a +/- 99,9% accuracy dealing with NSF file, which in other words means your FLACfile converted using that plugin will be at most 99,9% accurate.

To sum it up, NSF are 100% accurate files, but can't (currently) be converted to a 100% accurate stream. (Can it be flac/wav or whatever)

It's not exactly the point, but you can compare with this analogy:
FLAC is a lossless encoder right? Yes it's lossless encoder, but it doesn't mean your mp3 files will be lossless if you convert them to FLAC =]

Yeah, but it's just kind of dumb to bring that up to argue about it. For all intents and purposes, it's lossless. Do you also like to, for no real reason, bring up the fact that it's currently impossible to record all sound perfectly, so nothing is truly "lossless"? Semantics. Who cares. Moving on.

nothingtosay
02-12-2011, 03:39 AM
Also then, all SNES music is lossy because the instrument samples themselves are compressed. Lossless means moving from one source to another format without any loss. What is output from the emulator plugin is your source and then you compress that source to FLAC format and it will suffer no loss.

KuroKage

Agree. They're just lossless compressed synthenizer sounds in different format for the consoles to reconize them.

zeaot
02-12-2011, 06:48 AM
IMHO if the original is lossy or low-fi in some sense, there is not as much motivation to preserve its lossy characteristic with a lossless encode. (I would include many synthesizer sounds that are attempting to mimic acoustic instruments as lossy in a way. With some poor mastering, clipping even on the original, excessive dynamic range compression on many releases, etc., maybe it can be argued that the original is often not so great to begin with.) Of course, there is something to be said for being true to what's on the disc. And none of this deals with the content of the music itself anyway.

On a somewhat related tangent, I am wondering what your tolerances are in general for lossy encodes. I prepared a lossy vs. lossless music sample for you, in case you want to have a listen. The original track is the Wagon Wheel's march from a DQ compilation arrangement, from this recent thread (by tri2061990, highly recommended by me):

Thread 85547

There are two files. One of them is lossless, transcoded from ape to wav. The other was transcoded from ape to a lossy format back to wav. They're both in wav so you can't accidentally tell which is which by looking at the format or file size.

Download link (lossy + lossless version of same track):
Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites! (http://www.multiupload.com/FJZW135AV4)

Which one is which? If you can distinguish the lossy track, in which way is it inferior to the original, in your perception?



A while back, I found a couple dozen lossless Falcom releases. File names are mostly Japanese, and the tagging was inconsistent at best, so I need to spend some time someday to figure out what everything precisely is. :P In any case, it includes The Legend of Heroes aka Eiyuu Densetsu OSTs for games 3-6 (for Sora no Kiseki: FC and SC, no "the 3rd"), some Ys stuff, some Xanadu, and more. Some are arrangements, some are OSTs. Unfortunately for H3adbang3R, it includes Sorcerian Super Arranges 1-3 but no perfect collection 2.

There are two files. One of them is lossless, transcoded from ape to wav. The other was transcoded from ape to a lossy format back to wav. They're both in wav so you can't accidentally tell which is which by looking at the format or file size.
Which one is which? If you can distinguish the lossy track, in which way is it inferior to the original, in your perception?
I can even tell there are differences between high quality lossy and lossless with my poorly audio equipment. I will test and report it to you next Monday. (I'm busy on this Sunday)

A while back, I found a couple dozen lossless Falcom releases. File names are mostly Japanese, and the tagging was inconsistent at best, so I need to spend some time someday to figure out what everything precisely is. :P.
You don't trust the tags on vgmdb? Is that the Falcom lossless you got from torrents on astost and vgmu? What albums do you have, I would love to know it.

Yeah, but it's just kind of dumb to bring that up to argue about it. For all intents and purposes, it's lossless. Do you also like to, for no real reason, bring up the fact that it's currently impossible to record all sound perfectly, so nothing is truly "lossless"? Semantics. Who cares. Moving on.

snkhero asked a question, so I was polite and answered the best way I could (with my restricted knowledge, but still). Nothing more, nothing less.

All the lossless is just from one single torrent, which I'm not sure is still alive. I forget where I found it. Also, I don't even think vgmdb (and freedb) has everything in the below. Either that, or I'm bad at searching or a couple albums were combined into single folders in a confusing way.

Are you comparing this next to a separate, definitely lossless rip of the same track? Or a different lossy rip that doesn't have the problem you describe?

Perhaps it's just the way the OST was mastered.

Hi.

I see that here exist several persons that know so much related to audio spectral analysis, etc.
I want to ask about certain things related to the lossless audio format and the lossy mp3 320 CBR. Just see this picture that someone has posted in this topic:

http://img651.imageshack.us/i/spectralanalysis.gif

http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/489/spectralanalysis.gif

It is clear. The lossless format is far superior than the lame mp3 320 CBR.
But i have read tons of articles over inet that speak related to certain 'studies' made to thousands of persons where nobody was able to feel the audible difference from the lossless audio and the mp3 over 192 kbps. As i read the human ear sense is not capable to hear over 16Khz.


The human ear can nominally hear sounds in the range 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (20 kHz). This upper limit tends to decrease with age, most adults being unable to hear above 16 kHz. The ear itself does not respond to frequencies below 20 Hz, but these can be perceived via the body's sense of touch.
The quote was extracted from the wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoacoustics

Well, as i see in the spectral analysis image the lame mp3 320 cut off over 18 KHz. And the lossless cut off over 20'50 KHz. The difference is really short. Please can you throw more light related to this ? Because as i read tons of articles just begin to dont consider the mp3 CBR 320 as a lossy. The reasson is because if we cant hear over 16 KHz then what we have lost ?

Personally i like so much to obtain a flac soundtrack for obvious reassons of quality, but the conversion to lame mp3 320 CBR is the most common operation that i do. The storage of the flac format is just a madness because the space that eat.

lossless is better, your ears aren't accustomed yet. just cause theoretically you can't "hear" sound doesn't mean you can't pick up its vibration

KGN-004
02-14-2011, 04:46 AM
There are plenty of other places on the internet, with more knowledgeable people, where that is discussed.

If space is a HUGE issue, might as well go with LAME MP3 (either V0 VBR or 320 CBR).

I have little HD space, but giant stacks of DVD+Rs. ;) I should get more HDs. That would be a lot easier than toting around all those discs. And it's probably cheaper overall. I will when my collection gets big enough.

Totally agree. Lossless is far more superior than lossy, just listen to a lot of redbook CDs and then switch to lossy codec, you'll notice the different.

02-14-2011, 04:53 AM
but guys, read the arguments that i wrote in my reply. It is clear that the lossless is better, it is a fact. But who is able to feel this format. As the studies and the info i found, nobody is able to feel the lossless, and if we need to use the sense of touch to feel frecuencies over the limits....

I will like to debate related to the facts.

KGN-004
02-14-2011, 04:58 AM
There's nothing to debate. We certainly aren't going to shed any new light on the subject. It's debated in-depth elsewhere. I mean, shouldn't you at least make another thread for this (I'm sure there a few already)?

Do some ABX (double blind) tests. If you can consistently determine the lossless encode from lossy encode of the same track, keep using lossless.

I think they are pretty equal. There may be some artifacts in V0 VBR encodes that aren't in 320 CBR encodes, but sometimes that's the other way around, depending. But VBR is better because it uses smaller bit rates for less complex sections of a track where it doesn't need such a high bit rate, and so will give you the same quality for less disc space. That's what they say anyway.

But I'll shut up now because I'm just repeating what I heard and have no real technical knowledge about it. :)

You shouldn't put too much faith in spectral analysis. For instance, some lossy sources can appear lossless in a spectral analyzer.

You don't listen to your music with a spectral analyzer, but with your ears. :) The way a computer visually displays your music data on a monitor doesn't really matter.

this is true KGN-004, but taking in consideration this fact (we dont listen soundtracks with a spectrum analyser), the idea that the mp3 CBR 320 dont lost nothing that we can feel take more relevance, dont you think ?

Yeah, that image shows a clear difference. But does that apparent difference really matter?

It would much more useful to encode the same lossless track to V0 VBR and 320 CBR, then do a blind test with all of them. See if you "feel" any difference at all.

Anyway, I can't do what you are asking. I don't have a spectral analyzer and have never used one.

as the 'studies' that are explained over inet, this test will reveals that will be impossible to feel the difference. Remeber that these 'studies' have reveal that we cant feel nothing over 192 kbps.

I'm not sure what you are saying or asking about anymore...

Looking at a spectral analysis of CBR versus VBR of a single track will prove nothing.

Use either of them. My vote goes to LAME V0 VBR, because it will save space.

It was only released digitally so there is no CD to rip losslessly from, but I posted a game rip in FLAC at someone's request and here is that thread (Thread 79792) if you're interested. I think it sounds better than what was released and it is real, full lossless, but of course it still sounds like the DS. The first track is still MP3 though. Trust me, it sounds better than what was in the game.

@ zeaot:

Burned the tracks to CD and listened it on my "cheap" DVD player & speakers...
Result: Sample track 2 is lossy. Especially at 1:50 to 2:30 when the track goes high, I can hear track 2 sounds more distorded and the background instrument sounds less detailed when it goes to high pitch. Your comment?

Yes, this is where I can tell the difference too, on that track. The lossy version was VBR -q7 (224 kbps) Vorbis. In most other recordings I have tried, I was unable to distinguish the lossy from the lossless with that setting. Sometimes I thought I could tell a difference, but I couldn't in a blind test. ;) I would not be surprised if others have more experience or better ears/perception than me, and could tell even 320 kbps MP3 (or higher quality--MP3 is not that good***) from lossless. But as mentioned by arfgh, many studies show that most or many untrained listeners cannot distinguish high bitrate lossy encodes from lossless. I encourage other people to ABX it to see what the difference is, if they can hear it.

The recording was of real-life instruments and mastered by Telarc (they mostly did Classical and jazz music; have over 40 Grammy Awards), so the quality is much higher than most VGM you will find. Whenever there are such quality recordings, I strongly prefer having and keeping the lossless too. Like I mentioned before, for poor recordings, primitive synthesizer sounds, etc., I feel having lossless is not important. e.g. NES sounds and things like that in particular

But usually I prefer high bitrate lossy files, since I can't tell the difference on most tracks and have limited space on my Sansa Clip+. Of course, lossless is good since you can always transcode down. It is just harder on some uploaders with poor upload speeds!

***On a side note, even LAME MP3 is not that great. You can hear distinct artifacting for certain sounds even on -V2 or higher. More modern codecs like Vorbis, AAC, etc. may generally be better. Personally, I find that Vorbis (I've not tested other alternatives to MP3) usually is transparent, and when it is not, it just adds a small noise or takes away a few details from the music in a more constant fashion. I have not experienced any obvious jarring artifacts on -q7 Vorbis yet. Anybody have other opinions?

arfgh: The difference in the lossy and lossless versions is not just not having frequency content above a certain amount. Much other information is slightly altered in the lossy version. That spectral analysis is mostly just an investigative tool to detect the footprint of an MP3 conversion.

KGN-004: The link I had was a lossy version of a track + a lossless version of the same track. You can ABX yourself:

I tried out Vorbis for awhile. At the time I too was convinced it sounded better. But another important thing for me is compatibility (not just for me, but sharing it with others). So I decided to stick with MP3.

I haven't actually tried any blind testing yet. But even if it turns out that it's all in my mind, and I can't really tell the difference between high quality lossy and lossless, I still like having lossless around to re-encode later on to new or improved codecs, even if there's not much point. It just makes me feel better. :)

zeaot
02-14-2011, 10:43 AM
Yes, those are also good reasons for having the lossless, and also why I appreciate the many posts in this thread!

Sometimes there are just some masters that almost don't even deserve to be lossless encoded. I think my one lossless request is a version of this Falcom track (Gin no Ishi, Kin no Tsubasa, appears in the Legend of Heroes: Sora no Kiseki at least -- from vgmdb, seems to translate to Silver Will, Golden Wings) that is good quality and not heavily dynamic range compressed. I don't know if it exists.

On one CD, there is a version of the track that looks like this in Audacity, to give you an idea. Yes, 1.0 and -1.0 means max volume and is clipping. :(:

02-14-2011, 11:40 AM
And what do you understand by 'superior quality', after all?I "grew up" with MP3 Piano Soundtracks, with its subtle noise and 'grainy texture' and nowdays, when I listen to (clear) lossless Piano Soundtracks, I think it's too sterile, too clean, and I tend to listen to the old ones still in MP3 (no I don't convert the newer ones). >.>
But I guess that's another point. :rolleyes: (Like how some people prefer a disc record over compact disc.)

Generally people prefer JPG (high quality) pictures over BMP/PNG, cause they are (for example) 1/10 of their original size, and the difference between them are (mostly) only visible when you actually zoom in. But you still know that the 'lossless' picture quality is still better/original and not impaired, and if the eye is used or trained to/for better quality, it is much more obvious?

Fact is, I feel (with lossless sources) some kind of clearer, finer (umm, how should I say), more dense sound atmosphere/landscape? or "waves" - what is actually quite subtle, and I have no clue if my ear picks that up, or my head. ; )
But in all honesty, I can't hear a diffrence between 24 bit and 16 bit (with my modest sound system).
Also it's not only a matter of input, put also of output. Diffrent sound systems, give diffrent sounds. It's like with TVs, I guess... If you look at the same movie with CGI Effects, the one with HD 1080p and 100 Hz will render the computer effects/models (for example a dinosaur) much more clearer (and more unbeliveable, if it was done 10 years ago), than a weaker system who merges both the real actors/scenery and CGI in a similar blurred picture (what makes it more beliveable actually - in my opinion). Additional the condition of your visual/acoustical body parts play their own role too, blahblah...


@arfghI don't know why you want to 'guard yourself' from a "wrong/bad" decission you might make with either way, or just have a natural interest in it - but I think it's very situational, like how you work with 'lossless' picture quality for professional things, like RAW for digital photography or use JPG pictures for more casual, daily concerns (where loading time / disc space is more crucial), for example.
In the past, people mainly arranged their collections with CDs (and still do), but nowdays many archive their stuff in either lossy and lossless. But in fact, actually every redbook audio was/is 'lossless' (irrespectively if the recording was done good or badly). The matter arised (in that sense) just as lossy encodings widley spread in public throughout the vast realms of the internet (and on local PCs of course - I think it might already started with cassettes, no idea).
But I'm actually not very audiophile myself. If you want to be absolute certain, you should test it yourself multiple times - if it really concerns you that is. Don't listen too much what others try to imply onto you (cause everyone knows it better than the other one). I'm not a big fan of statistics myself. I mean, only cause 10 million people tend to butter their toast on one side, doesn't mean you can't use both (made-up).

But if you want to satisfy your hunger for more precise or 'theoretical VS practical' answers (with all its consideration with digital and analog spectrometer and tests), you might (as others suggested already) want to look at places, where people forge a more serious opinion over that matter (actually you can make everything to its own science).
What I mean, you won't receive recipes or cooking techniques in a restaurant (as a guest). For that, you would seek out a culinary school, wouldn't you?
Well that were my, less constructive 2 cents.

Anyone up to re-upload their proper Xenogears Original Soundtrack (Limited Edition, if possible)? I need to attune myself for the forthcoming - MYTH - The Xenogears Orchestral Album (http://vgmdb.net/album/22515). :D Thanks.

And about the 'Shiki mini albums', do they refer to this Anime (http://anonym.to/?http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=7268)? They are nice, but really sound more like Video Game Music.

Like already said, the Children of Mana OST was released digital-only and never as physical (CD) format. So no, you won't find any lossless version (in the sense that it was ripped from the original disc).

Why the limited edition? IIRC the two DigiCube releases and the SQEX reprint are all identical, save the album art of course.

It was only released digitally so there is no CD to rip losslessly from, but I posted a game rip in FLAC at someone's request and here is that thread (Thread 79792) if you're interested. I think it sounds better than what was released and it is real, full lossless, but of course it still sounds like the DS. The first track is still MP3 though. Trust me, it sounds better than what was in the game.

Like already said, the Children of Mana OST was released digital-only and never as physical (CD) format. So no, you won't find any lossless version (in the sense that it was ripped from the original disc).

How is it that a file under 1 mb can sound as good as mp3's and be converted into lossless and sound better?!I'm going to say this again because the conversation has become very muddy over the last few pages. Transcoding from .NSF (or any other game format) to FLAC does not improve the sound quality in any way. The sound you hear from either source is identical (at least until the NSF player gets updated, and then the FLAC files are out of date and need to be re-ripped/tagged all over again).

This isn't aimed at jafnou in particular, it just sounded like a lot of people seem to be getting the idea that converting to FLAC does something magical.

I don' think so. SNR of DACs used in portable devices are the limiting factor here.

I don' think so. SNR of DACs used in portable devices are the limiting factor here.

No, the DACs are sufficient. If you are using the portable player to directly drive IEMs or headphones, the amplifier (well, current driver, depending on how you want to look at it) is more of a bottleneck anyway. But even so, many common players perform okay even when loaded with realistic impedances like 16 or 32 ohms. When unloaded or rather driving a line-in, it's more the DAC and buffer that is the limiting factor. Thus, the unloaded results for most sources is better than the loaded performance. As you can see, even some cheap players have SNR far far beyond the noise introduced by lossy encoding. For the lossy encoding, a very crude metric of noise would be just the power of what is remaining when you take the output (lossy) signal and subtract the lossless signal, and even that amount of noise is above the SNR of the portable players, weighted appropriately. But in reality, the encoding artifacts typically have more structure than white or pink noise, so they are easier to identify by humans listening than more random noise.

iPhone, Sansa Clip, Cowon D2, iRiver H340 with 16 ohm load (http://rmaa.elektrokrishna.com/Comparisons/16%20Ohm%20-%20iPhone%2C%20Clip%2C%20D2%2C%20%20H340.htm)
Sansa Clip and Clip+ with 16 ohm load and unloaded (http://rmaa.elektrokrishna.com/Comparisons/Sansa%20Clip%20vs.%20Clip%2B%20%28No%20Loads%2C%20 16%20Ohm%20Loads%29.htm)

That said, I personally don't use lossless on portable devices because of (1) the obvious space limitations, (2) I am not listening to music critically on the go, and (3) I use my portable player where there is relatively high ambient noise from the surroundings. Also, at high bitrates on most tracks, I can't tell the difference anyway, even in good listening conditions. It's the listening environment that I'd call the true limiting factor in practice.

LiquidAcid
02-15-2011, 12:47 AM
I should rephrase my statement: The DAC is one limiting factor. As you correctly point out, the current driver, output device (headphone, in-ear) and of course the environment are also limiting your experience.

However I'm sceptical about your SNR statement. The noisefloor of the playback chain usually drowns the minimal artifacts (pre-echo, ringing, reduction of stereo separation) that are still present in the signal when encoding with a sane VBR preset (V2 e.g.). This applies even more to more sophistacted codecs like Vorbis or AAC. That said you can't ABX (good) lossy encodes anyway from the original source.

And if someone wants to train their ears to detect artifacts that become apparant with low bitrate encodes:
Artifact Training Page (http://ff123.net/training/training.html)

EDIT: And before anyone comes complaining that the author can here subtle differences even with high bitrates: The article is from 2002! And a lot has happened in the past 9 years, even on the LAME front ;)

EDIT2: See LAME changelog if you don't believe me:
http://lame.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/lame/lame/doc/html/history.html

The big ones (LAME 3.96 and 3.97) all came after 2003.

02-15-2011, 12:56 AM
It's the listening environment that I'd call the true limiting factor in practice.Exactly. SNR discussions aside, ambient noise will kill any perceptible difference (if the ear buds don't). And that's why I question NSF to FLAC transcoding - the only place NSF compatibility is an issue is the place where FLAC's benefits are meaningless. FLAC on a portable player is a convenience at best, I don't believe there's anyone out there who's listening to FLAC on a portable player in an environment where it makes a difference.

I used to do transcodes from synthesised game audio formats for people if they requested it, these days I take the stand that it's pointless. FLAC encoding makes sense if you're dealing with raw sampled waveforms, but no sense at all if you're dealing with a 17KB NSF.

I should rephrase my statement: The DAC is one limiting factor. As you correctly point out, the current driver, output device (headphone, in-ear) and of course the environment are also limiting your experience.

However I'm sceptical about your SNR statement. The noisefloor of the playback chain usually drowns the minimal artifacts (pre-echo, ringing, reduction of stereo separation) that are still present in the signal when encoding with a sane VBR preset (V2 e.g.). This applies even more to more sophistacted codecs like Vorbis or AAC. That said you can't ABX (good) lossy encodes anyway from the original source.

Did you see the lossy vs. lossless comparison tracks I uploaded? H3adbang3R could identify the difference between them without being told which was which. I ABXed the two quickly and got 8/10 correct, so it probably sounds very close to me but there is a difference people can hear.

Again, it was aoTuV Vorbis 5.7 beta at 224 kbps--a very modern encoder on a post-MP3 format with arguably the best lossy encoding quality for the bitrate.

The RMAA links I posted seem to indicate the noise floor being around -85 dB at least compared to peak volume, for many portable players. I'm not sure if Vorbis is supposed to have a 0 time shift compared to the original, and if this is doing what I think it's doing, but here is one test you can do in Audacity or a similar program:

Open up the lossy version of the file and the lossless together. Invert one of the two and play the combination back. What you will hear (I think) should be the difference between the two tracks! You can check out the peak meter with this combination. (Please tell me if this methodology is inherently flawed.) From what I've seen, that lossy encoding setting usually produces a difference signal that peaks around -24dB. With a higher bitrate, the peaks will be lower than that, and with lower bitrates you can expect higher peaks. It also depends on the original track too of course. So this is far above something like -85dB, or what might be the noise floor of common sources and portable players.

Now, just because there's an audible amount of power in the difference signal doesn't mean that you can detect it whenever you're listening to the lossy encode by itself, or that the difference necessarily sounds bad...That's a different matter to consider.

I used to do transcodes from synthesised game audio formats for people if they requested it, these days I take the stand that it's pointless.

It's not pointless. I'm sure you are aware that not all nsf/spc/etc decoders are exactly the same, yes? There's going to be a difference in quality in terms of how closely it emulates the console's sound. Transcodes done with some old immature decoder from 2000 isn't going to sound like the current version of NEZPlug++. And I can only use NEZPlug++ on my PC. So, converting them is not pointless.

As for encoding such simple things to FLAC. Yes, I agree there's no real reason, besides psychological ones. It just makes me feel better. (And then it's easy to quickly batch encode to whatever lossy format I want with all the proper tags and stuff... which isn't possible with nsf.) But according to many, that's the case with pretty much ALL music, yes? That the "sounding better" of lossless is all in your head 90% of the time. So my stance is, why NOT transcode old game music to FLAC? Apparently it's not much more pointless than lossless encodes of anything else. That psychological effect can still be there.

may i request for a re-up please?

as for the practical difference of flac vs mp3, this case may not apply to others. but for me, as i am already used to listening to flacs, when i went back to mp3s (my music HDD crashed, lost all (yes, all of my music), of them so i downloaded mp3s for some of my favorites in the meanwhile), they never sounded as perfect. that's all i can say.
maybe it's just my speaker. but hey, still made a difference to me.

i know zilch about spectral analysis and whatnot (okay, not totally zero) but i do trust my ears. when it sounds that good, it's that good.

So my stance is, why NOT transcode old game music to FLAC?Because it's a thousandfold increase the file size at least, because it means you have to re-transcode any time a new version of your VGM playback method is updated, because it's time-consuming for literally zero gain?


Apparently it's not much more pointless than lossless encodes of anything else. That psychological effect can still be there.But it's already as close to lossless as you can get when you play back the NSF. You are building a perceptual change into a process in which, by definition, nothing audible changes.

Anyway, I'm done making this case. Hell, if you want to transcode your entire music collection to 32-bit 192kHz raw WAV, that'd be your prerogative. I was just trying to clear the air and make sure we're all on the same page.

@alc123: Full ack! The important part is that one wants to preserve/archive information without loss. The best way is to store the information in its original format. And most of these 'emulated' formats just contain machine code / bytecode that gets intepreted by some emulator. If you convert then you essentially record a intepreted version of your original data, emphasis on interpretation. And this is not preserving/archiving the original information.

Um... so, just use NEZPlug++, surely?

I do, when I'm at my PC. The thing is you said it was pointless to transcode nsf. But that's just not the case if I want to listen to it the way I like anywhere else buy my desktop. Also... tagging and compatibility.


But it's already as close to lossless as you can get when you play back the NSF.

Again, NEZPlug++'s accuracy in a vastly more compatible format, and proper tags.

If you convert then you essentially record a intepreted version of your original data, emphasis on interpretation. And this is not preserving/archiving the original information.

So, why is it important to preserve the audio information that, according to your past posts, we can only realize with our eyes? What purpose does it serve other than to take up space (which is all nsf transcodes are good for according to alc)? Why do you insist that it's important to preserve ALL the original audio information, but then turn around and also insist we can't hear that information we are striving to preserve? It wouldn't be so retarded if you didn't say all these things while insisting on owning hundreds of red book audio CDs for the purpose of "archiving music", when according to you V0 would be just as good to your ears.

Any way, you can't listen to nsf without an interpreter (which doesn't interpret 100%), so what's wrong with keeping a vastly more compatible "lossless" transcode of the most accurate nsf interpretation (besides being thousands of times larger in size)? Seems to make about as much as sense as pointlessly keeping hundreds of red book CDs chocked full of audio data you'll never hear, when you could still archive all the data that matters and make your collection take up less than a quarter of the space.

vastly more compatible formatFLAC compatibility away from the desktop is getting better but is still pretty patchy, it's quite a stretch to say "vastly more compatible". In the unlikely case that 1/ you have a portable player that is FLAC compatible, 2/ that player doesn't support NSF, or has an NSF playback routine that is unacceptable, 3/ you have good enough headphones and ears and a quiet enough listening environment, and 4/ you actually listen to enough game rips on your portable player to genuinely warrant the investment of time and drive capacity in transcoding to FLAC and fully tagging the files... yes, in that highly hypothetical situation, a FLAC gamerip from NSF would make sense. In all other areas (which, let's be honest, accounts for 99.999% of people listening to NSFs) it makes more sense to just listen to the NSF as it is.

Well I was referring to both, but more so to MP3 transcodes than FLAC with the "vastly more compatible" thing. Also, don't forget the convenience of having separate tracks with proper tags.

I just wanted to point out why it was not completely pointless to transcode nsf. But I understand how it could be viewed as grossly inefficient and not worth it. I mean, all 1,775 nsf only take up 30 MB, while about just one of those soundtracks transcoded to FLAC takes up more space than that. :P So of course I keep all the nsf and other formats archived as well.

I would also like LiquidAcid (or anyone else who does this) to explain why he says there's no audible difference between V0 and lossless, but then insists on perfectly archiving all this pointless data. If we can't hear it, it's useless. So why strongly insist on preserving all that useless data!?!

Just for the sake of preserving a 1:1 copy. Even if we don't hear it, that doesn't mean the 'information' isn't there.

Never. Ever. EVER. Reencode audio at higher rates. Encoders cannot create and restore audio data out of thin air. When you take a lower rate and encode it into a higher rate, you gain no information and, like Arutoa says, you actually lessen quality. Just as taking a 160Kbps MP3 and reencoding it at 320Kbps does nothing but damage, so too does taking a 44.1khz track and going up to 48kHz.

Photocopying a photocopy never adds quality.

The Lossless Video Game Soundtrack Thread. You should make a new thread for your transcodes. Though, it makes more sense for people to save their bandwidth by downloading the NSF files and converting to FLAC themselves if they are so inclined.

"Lossless" game-rips and stuff like Redbook Audio encodes have a place in this thread, IMHO, otherwise there should also be another thread for the bunch of Doujin albums shared, or the arranges, for that matter. It's less "painful" to keep most game-related lossless stuff indexed in one thread.

@majinpvegeta The chances are if someone does download a certain soundtrack from here or any other forum they may be apart of, they're not always gonna remember where or who they got it from, so i won't have any of this insulting for credit nonsense. If you want credit, put your name or whatever on the tags of the files.

I think this thread should be contained to having lossless rips of actual CDs using common and standard extraction methods like XLD and EAC. Official and doujin releases can be grouped together because they exist in physical media. On the other hand, rippers use varying methods for extracting music from different games from platforms and the result is not lossless in the same sense as the lossless 1:1 copy produced from ripping a CD (see previous posts about NSF conversion). Perhaps Sirusjr could work a compromise and make separate sections for lossless CD rips and lossless game rips in the index post.

As for this 'credits' issue...it's easy to call someone a glory whore when they have a reaction like that. Personally I don't care if I am not credited but it's nice when it happens because it acknowledges the time and effort I invested to share with other people.

rippers use varying methods for extracting music from different games from platforms and the result is not lossless in the same sense as the lossless 1:1 copy produced from ripping a CDThe only exception to this is where lossless copies can truly be made and are smaller, i.e. CDDA tracks or other uncompressed sampled audio formats. Then it makes perfect sense to transcode to FLAC - same exact audio, smaller file size.

Yeah, and next time don't forget to share it in the process too.

Lilu didn't give proper credits (which is not totally correct from him/her, I give you you that), but at least (s)he took the time to reupload it here.
That being said, waving your manhood all over the place to show everyone this rip is indeed yours doesn't make any sense.
If you had uploaded it here in the first place (it's up for 2 months on What.cd as I can see), this discussion wouldn't even exist and you would have full credits over this rip.

Does anyone have the Ridge Racer V soundtrack in lossless?

RadChild
02-20-2011, 02:17 PM
I don't want to start another off topic about the lossless vs lossy, but I want to share my thoughts on this topic. Apparently everyone here should be expecting lossless copies of game sound tracks so I can't picture an mp3 discussion here. :P

But if we leave that out, lossless is why we're really here. Apart from the obvious advantages the music has, one can't really enjoy this type of audio without a proper setup first. Imagine listening to lossless on an integrated sound card with $10 speakers...the horror. But here's something interesting - if a person has always listened to compressed music on a cheap setup, he won't be able to tell the difference between 128kbps and 320kbps mp3 files in most cases. When I was still in school I had nothing but what my parents bought me and it was integrated audio + cheap speakers. Did I hear difference between 128 and 320? Rarely, mostly on very old tracks, because newer versions of lame improved.

I've had my M-Audio Studiophile DX4 speakers for a few years now and I'm very satisfied with them, but I've also had to buy a better sound card so I got myself an M-Audio Revolution 5.1, which I recently sold and bought an Asus Xonar Essence STX. I thought I wouldn't be able to tell the difference in sound quality with the newer sound card, because I don't consider myself a person with "golden ears", but let me tell you that I haven't heard a better sounding card in my life. The most noticeable thing are the improved low frequencies, which were lacking on my previous board. Right now, I'm thinking of going a step further and getting myself a pair of high quality headphones so that I can use the headphone amp in the Xonar. I believe that will be a whole new experience for my ears not only because I read a lot on the most popular audiophile forums, but because headphones don't have the room distortion speakers tend to have (if you haven't spent money in improving your room) and are cheaper than speakers.

So my point here is that once you start to appreciate the sounds you hear, you start looking for an improvement (unless music isn't that important to you). Regardless of what your choice may be, keep in mind that everyone has their favorite cup of tea, which might not be what you're having. ;)

Also, a big THANKS to everyone contributing to this thread! I know I've said it before, but expressing your gratitude never hurts.

P.S. Can anyone re-upload the Forsaken OST that was posted a few pages ago?

When I was still in school I had nothing but what my parents bought me and it was integrated audio + cheap speakers. Did I hear difference between 128 and 320? Rarely, mostly on very old tracks, because newer versions of lame improved.

I've had my M-Audio Studiophile DX4 speakers for a few years now and I'm very satisfied with them, but I've also had to buy a better sound card so I got myself an M-Audio Revolution 5.1, which I recently sold and bought an Asus Xonar Essence STX. I thought I wouldn't be able to tell the difference in sound quality with the newer sound card, because I don't consider myself a person with "golden ears", but let me tell you that I haven't heard a better sounding card in my life. The most noticeable thing are the improved low frequencies, which were lacking on my previous board. Right now, I'm thinking of going a step further and getting myself a pair of high quality headphones so that I can use the headphone amp in the Xonar. I believe that will be a whole new experience for my ears not only because I read a lot on the most popular audiophile forums, but because headphones don't have the room distortion speakers tend to have (if you haven't spent money in improving your room) and are cheaper than speakers.

So my point here is that once you start to appreciate the sounds you hear, you start looking for an improvement (unless music isn't that important to you). Regardless of what your choice may be, keep in mind that everyone has their favorite cup of tea, which might not be what you're having. ;)

Also, a big THANKS to everyone contributing to this thread! I know I've said it before, but expressing your gratitude never hurts.

P.S. Can anyone re-upload the Forsaken OST that was posted a few pages ago?

Just to inform you, I can differentiate a mp3 from a flac file... with my 12 euro system. (Buffer Mandatory) Simply put, lossless sounds far better than lossy and that's the end of the topic.

Just to inform you, I can differentiate a mp3 from a flac file... with my 12 euro system. (Buffer Mandatory) Simply put, lossless sounds far better than lossy and that's the end of the topic.

Exactly why I specifically talked about my own experience. Also, today's integrated audio is way better than 10 years ago (which is when I listened to 128kbps mp3s). I can still remember the sound card's control panel being AC`97. :D

With my current laptop I also have some integrated audio called Sigmatel... not the best but definitely you can hear the difference, upgraded to X-Fi USB and is even more clearer, 3d and Cristalizer off, Eq on though... I have to compensate some mid levels :P

please reupload the magnific "Guarvail Final Fantasy Heavy Metal Arrange Album". The links are down.

Also i want to know what program to use to see the cut off frequencies on the media files, and if exist someone to show the same but in real time while we listen the music. In this thread tons of person have posted images that show just this. I want to check if is real that the mp3 Lame CBR 320 cutt off at 20 KHz and not the posted 18KHz. I think that is so important to know.

thx
