Audiosmith is a drag/drop GUI application for transcoding CDLC. Take a large CDLC file and make it smaller without significant loss of audio quality.  Audiosmith can also be used to convert between other common audio formats ... even extract MP3 from videos.  Click on the screenshot below to go to the Audiosmith homepage.

Keep in mind that ODLC seem to be recorded at Audio Quality 4 ~ bitrate 128 kbps. Check the Log view for file comparison stats. There is also a mini audio player so you can hear before and after differences.

If all CDLC are still taking long to load in the game then you might benefit from running CGT, Game Saves, Sync feature to remove songs from your user profile (game save) that are no longer in the dlc folder. Follow my signature link to download CGT.

Playing a CS song with annoying beepd audio track made me come back to you - as your tool has the very fitting name of audiosmith wouldnt it be great to add the functionality to be able to exchange the audio file also .... To

 

- add one with better quality or

- use the unrated version like in my case above

 

I know in the very easy way the audio would have to have the exact same lenght, but even that would be great for mostbof the time album tracks are used.

I don't know how deep you are into the audio processing, but of course syncing the start of the audio signal would be great.

For CDLC's replacing one audio track with another even if they are the same length is no easy task.  It would be best to use toolkit to unpack and then reauthor with EOF, doing necessary track syncing to the new audio.  Thanks for the input.  GL

Yeah, the only problem is thatbwhen you dont have then notes file you loose a lot of tech notes stuff that has to be redone, but younare right - most probably it would ld lead to unsynced cdlcs in about all cases and thats to avoid.

 

Thx, you are really pushing the quality.

 

P.s. My ipad doesnt seem to like the way i push the space bar :(

Hi, thanks for your tool. I have an old dirsk drive for all the songs and the smaller the songs the fast the game loads :)

 

I have problems compressing the audio due to Audiokinect Wwise. I installed the default packages but It seems there are not enough. In order no to waste the space I'm saving compresing the songs, but will be the needed wwise requirements? the full SDK?

 

The error I'm having is (although I have just downloaed it from the web site):

-

System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.Exception: Wwise audio file conversion failed: You have no compatible version of Audiokinetic Wwise installed.
Install Wwise v2013.2.x or v2014.1.x or even v2015.1.x series if you would like to use the toolkit OGG/WAV audio to Wwise WEM audio auto convert features.

@@necronoid It says that your wwise version is wrong and it has no scripts to run conversion for you, Install specified version of wwise or w8 for 2016 support it's easy to implement tho, one thing is cozy should update toolkit lib dependency after and publish new version

Yep, but which is the specified version for it? I downloaded it from their offical web page, and an automated installer did all the job. I understand somethiing is missing but do I have to install the complete SDK to run the software properly? 

 

So to save 15 megs for a song I have to use 500 to install and SDK?  :D  :D

@@necronoid, no, you need only binaries with data files, and new 2015 and 2016 is damn small you no longer need that 200 mb install (even nowdays with 500 GB to 1-2 TB diskspace)

you can download older version using wwise installer you dl'ed from their site v2015.1.6 would work and v2015.1.4 too

Follow Alex360 instructions from here to download and install Wwise.

 

If you really want to save space ... after you have transcoded CDLC with Audiosmith app to reduce file size you can uninstall the Wwise program completely.

 

BTW You can also install Wwise anywhere on you computer that has space for it.  It does not need to be with your CDLC.  Just be sure to use and follow the Wwise installer so that your custom Wwise installation gets log in the registry properly.  Otherwise, Audiosmith won't be able to find Wwise again and you will have same problem.

Need more info.  What is your input audio file type, e.g. mp3, ogg, etc?  What is your output file type, e.g. mp3, ogg, etc?  Have you white listed Audiosmith in your AV?  What OS, and AV are you using?

@@cozy1 I'm curious about what reference did you used for the EBU R128 normalization level.

I use ffmepg CLI with a two pass method to do EBU R128 audio normalization in Audiosmith.  References are found here.

It's the result i've seen when using Voicemeeter as an output for RS. Could probably obtain better result about this by going a bit crazy with my installation to properly check the value used in RS though (unless i can find a way to attach a VST to my output easily..)

AES recommends -16 LUFS.  -12 LUFS is considered very loud/rude.   Do you have your amp set to '11'?  jk

@@cozy1 My system is calibrated for 79dB at -23LUFS (movie/home theater norm).

 

Note that i'll be happy to do extensive study of the audio level used in RS but with the fact that the toolkit can't import the volume adjustment settings from oDLC (unless they are all at -7 which would be weird as the wem file goes from -6LUFS to -14LUFS for those i've tested so far)

 

I know AES recommandation and i'm just reporting what i've seen on my setup.

 

Note that after some research voicemeeter indicator might have been shifted which would give RS being normalize around -23 since youtube was set to 0 which is -14 LUFS already. My bad there and i should have reacted about those number a bit sooner :)
