  1. What kind of format is WWise using anyway? Is it using a psychoacoustic model as well? Or is it just mp3 wrapped in a different file format? Does anyone know? And raynebc is of course entirely correct in that MP33 isn't lossless. Given a proper encoder, it's indistinguishable from FLAC if the bitrate is high enough because the information dropped is info that your brain can't handle anyway. One example is a very quiet tone after a loud pop - you'd hear it but your brain wouldn't do anything with that info (this is called auditory masking), it'd be filtered out. MP3 and similar formats are using a very complicated psychoacoustic model to determine what information is superfluous and what isn't. I personally encode with 192 kbit/s because I never heard a difference between that and higher bitrates. I'm using LAME exclusively because it's the best encoder there is. Right?
  2. I'd say if you get artifacts, your encoder is broken. What're you using? Double-blind tests have conclusively proven that you cannot hear the difference between lossless and well-encoded mp3.
  3. That happened to me when I did the lines by hand in EOF instead of using Ultra Star Creator, as I should've :) It's actually less work, you just load a text file with the lyrics and sync it to the music. Much easier than it sounds. And you don't have to enter the text by hand! the added bonus is that (for me at least) it doesn't throw everything together like you described.
  4. Ooops. I'm guilty of that :eek: I guess I never really paid attention to that. Not in EOF, not in the game. Sure I know it's there but I didn't think it was important for that to sync up to. I'll pay attention to that in the future, promise!
  5. Thank you, that was most illuminating. I'll try that process. I guess it yields much better results if the song has a less even structure than most I've done so far.
  6. When you select notes, you can use Simplify Chords to for instance turn a three finger chord into a two finger chord. I know it works well that way, I have no experience with that feature when it comes to barre chords though. Paste from can be used if you're creating difficulty levels by hand: you do the full song in "Amazing", then you click on the next lower difficulty and use "Paste from" to copy all the notes from Amazing. Then you can thin it out, go to the next lower level and use "Paste from" to copy everything from the second highest level and so on. Great for gradually decreasing the amount of notes or the complexity of chords.
  7. He's got an awesome singing voice! I'm pretty jealous! Anyhoo.... when can we expect a custom? Make one with some advertizing, put in the link to that page or something, and upload it!
  8. I'll try that and see if it works for me. Perhaps the success also depends on the song. I've got a song with relatively simple chords in the pipeline, I'll see what it does with that. Also: I think EOF has some pretty good features to create DD. There's your simplify chords thingy, there's your paste from feature and others. The one thing that confused me in the beginning is when you add a difficulty level and all of a sudden the names disappear and you get numbers ;)
  9. When's the last time you tried DDC? It's not a static thing....Chili's always improving it. My wife was just commenting the other day that even though it's simplified, it really feels like you're playing the song. If you get a chance, check this one out: http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/kuso-breakin-nou-breakin-lily-r3275 Last weekend. As I said, maybe I haven't fed it right..? I didn't really try more than one setting, and perhaps that was wrong...
  10. If I can play a song right away without even trying much, I won't add DD because I figure that if I can play it, everyone else can, too. When I add DD I do it manually. I've tried the DDC and it just never worked right for me. Maybe I'm just not giving it the right input, but the output always seems weird to me. When I do it by hand, I look at the note pattern and try to get an understanding what the actual difficulty is. Then I try to tone that done, one step at the time. I don't usually do more than four levels. It took a pretty long time for the first song I did this for, but when I did it the last time, I was much faster. And I was lucky enough to have selected notes to play for the easy difficulties that still make the song recognizable and fun to play - or so I hope.
  11. I'm not sure as I haven't played any live versions, but I figure it would be harder to chart them anyway. It's true though that some live versions are simply leaps and bounds better: Fear of the Dark would be my prime example.
  12. Would be really cool if Tux Guitar had a feature to correct that, to generally move notes around properly when the tuning changes. But it just won't work. At all. It's totally broken. When I change the lowest string, it will usually just throw away all of the notes.
  13. In many GP tabs or tabs in general, you'll often be missing that one super cool lead guitar solo, as well. And you won't find it anywhere.
