Changing audio track in CDLC file and swap for another track

[gwbuiter]

Hello,

 

i got some questions.:

 

i want to change from a existing CDLC file the audio. and swap it for a audio file with only the instrumental parts and without the vocals. i got the instrumental audio version already...so that's not the issue here.

 

It seems that this would be possible with the Song Creator tool kit.

-  i tried to extract the file by pressing "import packard"

-  now i got 2 directory's.  EOF and Toolkit

 

in the EOF directory i found the audio file in ogg format.

 

now what i want to do is export the instrumental file (which is a mp3 file) to ogg with audacity, than rename the file to it's original filename, and repack it.  and i'm done..... i guess.

 

but now the problem.... i got a error message. Thread exeption

System.IO.FileNotFoundExeption, You have no compatible version of Audiokinetic Wwise installed.

 

i have the newst version 2018.1.4.6807 installed. do i need to install an older version to get it work?

and if so, will the methode i mentioned above work...?

Or is there a way to only remove the vocals from the existing cdlc file?

 

 

running windows 10 pro 1809

song creator toolkit v2.9.0.0-b1c03443

Wwise 2018.1.4.6807

The toolkit doesn't support 2018 version of wwise but only up to 2017.1 version.

 

I think your method otherwise should work.

[gwbuiter]

Yes thats correct. found some info about it. but i can't install an older version. version 2015 won't install because of all sorts of MS Visual c++ errors.

 

finaly i got Wwise version 2010.3.3 succesfully installed. but now when pressing "generate" in toolkit i got

 

Error

 

"Configuration Wwise path is not set properly for RS2014 or conversion."

 

well, the path is realy there..

 

Is there anyone who has a solution for installing and configuring the toolkit with wwise on windows 10, and what versions are used..?

Have a look here.  The Wwise version you installed is for RS1 only.

[gwbuiter]

Ok, thanks. but i can't get a newer version installed. tried v2015 before on 2 different Windows 10 machines....  when installing i got an error about Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 error when wwise tries to download and install it.  the installation aborts and it writes a log file.

 

the log points to the vc2013redist_x86.exe installer.  but it is alleady installed. even some older and newer versions.

 

de-installing vc2013 and re-install does not solve the problem either.

Are you logged on to Win10 as an admin?  Otherwise there is a good chance the Win10 is blocking you.

 

Did  you try using this version here?

[gwbuiter]

Logged in as admin, yes.   and yes, i have version 2015.1.9..

In the toolkit, if you hoover your mouse over the 'Wwise Path:' in the toolkit 'Configuration' menu a tooltip popup will tell you all the compatible versions of Wwise.

 

Then go here, create an account and download any of the compatible Wwise versions.

Yes, i have seen that. and also created an account.  but i can't install any other version because of the visual c++ error i mentioned earlier.

also tried that before l.. but doesn't work either

[cozy1]

Oh well.  I tried to help.

[gwbuiter]

Oh well.  I tried to help.

Yes, Thank you. I really appreciate it ;) 

[cozy1]

YW  Let us know if you come up with a solution.

@gwbuiter  Did you ever resolve the Wwise issue?  If not, then you can try to install the 2013 version of Wwise and these C++ redistributables.  If you still can not install Wwise then read these links about checking admin status and AV whitelisting.

@@cozy1, sorry for the late....(very late) reply. but yes! this version finaly works.  thank you.
