heuriophuw-r9HR8-9HY389-R Posted June 29, 2019 Hey guys, I've made remasters of James Paddock's soundtrack of SIGIL by using the MIDI files from SIGIL. Here's the WAD's Metal/Rock https://www.dropbox.com/s/vlab1jyqpdywoon/SIGILJPMR.wad?dl=0 Orchestra https://www.dropbox.com/s/vlab1jyqpdywoon/SIGILJPMR.wad?dl=0 and the Bandcamp links to the music https://charlesgomez.bandcamp.com/album/doom-sigil-james-paddock-midi-remastered https://charlesgomez.bandcamp.com/album/doom-sigil-james-paddock-midi-remastered-orchestrated 2 Share this post Link to post

Reisal Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) Why is the music in waveform format? Why not use high bitrate MP3 or OGG? This is what is bloating the filesize into the hundreds of megabytes. 4 Share this post Link to post

This is what is bloating the filesize into the hundreds of megabytes. at the time I tired using wav with 32 float but was too large, then i used 16 bit. I didn't think of using OGG files. and i don't have the MP3 plugin for audacity (plus i kinda got lazy) 0 Share this post Link to post

Reisal Posted July 3, 2019 Compressing it to OGG would reduce the audio file sizes six to tenfold, depending on quality chosen. Something like that. 2 Share this post Link to post
ketmar Posted July 3, 2019 boring useless techno-bla-bla. Spoiler ogg is a container format, it can contain anything you want -- audio, video, binary data, text data, you name it. what you probably mean is vorbis-encoded audio. which should be forgotten too by this time, because opus is by all means better. and yeah, opus is using ogg as container too. ;-) 0 Share this post Link to post
esselfortium Posted July 3, 2019 It's wrong to sell someone else's music on BandCamp without their permission, even if it's "pay-what-you-want". It's also wrong to call mushy-sounding soundfont renders "remasters". 21 Share this post Link to post

There's nothing here that would warrant even a vague allusion to somebody maybe giving you money for it.

ketmar Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) 33 minutes ago, Doomenator said: ogg codecs what is "ogg codec"? opus is using OGG container as internal storage. ;-) 33 minutes ago, Doomenator said: If opus is so cool, why hasn't it gained such popularity because most people are slow at adopting such things. 'cmon, even mp3 is not dead yet! (and it should be dead already) but actually, opus just isn't promoted enough. most people simply don't know why it is better than other lossy audio codecs. and some people even think that opus was made strictly for internet streaming, and therefore has inferior quality. so i'm trying to recommend opus over vorbis (and, of course, mp3) whenever i have a chance. 1 Share this post Link to post
Doomenator Posted July 3, 2019 32 minutes ago, ketmar said: but actually, opus just isn't promoted enough. This format will never get as popular as mp3 or ogg. Those who really listen to music prefer lossless format for a long time. And to popularize the next lossy codec which gives minor advantages does not make sense at all. 0 Share this post Link to post
Reisal Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, esselfortium said: mushy-sounding soundfont renders Do you know what's being used? If it's just a rerender with another soundfont, it should just be renamed from "Remaster" to "Rerender" or "supermarioultra's SIGIL tracks" 0 Share this post Link to post

esselfortium Posted July 4, 2019 1) They're not your songs to post on BandCamp as pay-what-you-want. This is extremely Do Not Do This from both a legal and moral standpoint. Please do not link to your Bandcamp on this site as long as it is set that way. You can uncheck this box on the Bandcamp album page so that people will no longer be prompted to pay you for Jimmy's music: 2) Again, just swapping out the original instruments for presets from soundfonts/VST/whatever and burying everything in reverb is not a "remaster". 6 Share this post Link to post

You might not care about the money, but the fact you're using someone else's work to potentially bring in income is going to piss people off. 1 Share this post Link to post
