Title: HLDJ - audio incomprehensible
Post by: Travelsonic on March 17, 2011, 09:24:39 AM
I decided to experiment with HLDJ - relax, in multiplayer games I initiated in GMOD - but have been having some issues.

Even though I converted the audio to a 11,025hz 16-bit mono wav file as I've been told is required, whenever I go to play a sound, what plays [for all the audio files I try] is this steadily increasing "bong bong bong bong" type of pinging tone - then it gets all scratchy.

What have I done wrong?

Use HLDJ's built in converter

Tried it - converted an MP3 to wav using the converter built in to HLDJ, same issue.  >_<

23 different songs and sound clips later, I had the same problem.

Well, in the most generalized sense it isn't wrong if I do so in places where there aren't rules against it, or people are ok with it, and in the places where it ISN'T ok, I already don't micspam - all of which is moot since I am trying to see how it works / if it works at this time.

c0mp1337's micspam convert guide:
go get goldwave
open the mp3 or whatever file you want to convert.
go to resample:
set it to 11025 hz

go to bandpass/stop, set it to:
from: 100hz
to: 5512hz

go to pop/click and set it to 800 or 750

go to match volume:
depending on your tastes:
put first: reduce average level to avoid clipping.
then go set it up to: -18db or -22db on the presets.

optional:
if you want your micspam to be a little louder than what you want to hear it then go to change volume:
go to the presets and set it to double.


now then to convert it to the aproppiate format:
go to save as and set it to:
save as type: wav
attributes: pcm signed 16 bit mono

Unfortunately, I did all of these things and I have had no luck.

Guess I'll just start again and work it through step by step from installation of the software [and trying different pieces of software] to converting audio files, fiddling with the volume control stuff in XP, etc. 

God damn this is embarrassing, I'm able to program a disassembler for one of my comp sci classes, assemble working programs using only a table of instructions and a hex editor, and I can't get a goddammed piece of software working right.  >_<

Check if:

Your using the right version. (update HL:DJ if not)
Your computer is the good version.
You selected ''source in the options''

Other then that i think it's been named in the thread. Sorry i can't do much for you

Here is how I get songs to 11025hZ

Pirate Nero Waveeditor:

Set record source to: Master Output
tSet Recording quality to: 11025hz

Then pirate songs off youtube by just playing them and recording.

Thats how I do it...

Feh, Downloading a program to download the file, extract the audio, convert it, then save it - just opening the crappy audio recording thing that comes with Windows, recording with Stereo Mix [records right off the sound card], and playing the video - then saving it just feels like less steps.

Actually, DVDVideoSoft is incredibly simple.

Go pingas dBPowerAMP, and/or GoldWave.

These are the steps for me:
1. Copy youtube link
2. Paste in MP3 downloader
3. After downloaded, drag and drop to goldwave batch convert

And that's it.

Eh, I have Audacity, therefore after opening Audacity,

- I just play the video, recording w/ Stereo Mix option [so it records off the sound card as the video plays]
- save as a 11,025hz, 16-bit wav.

Even simpler.  :D

Again,
Goldwave has batch processing.
Select an entire folder, click one button, and you're DONE.
Beat that.

Meh, I'm accustomed to doing it my way. I find goldwave useful for reducing bass and volume.

I do it with Audacity all the time.   :))





In all seriousness, I do hope to successfully try the process for getting this working from the start, but if not, no big deal - less time screwing around with that more time actually playing GMod.
