PLZ READ - PSARC AUDIO QUALITY

[cstewart]

Conceivably, you don't have to use EOF's wav file to make the wem. You should be able to rip to a 48k .wav file instead of an mp3. Use an audio editor to add the leading silence. Convert that as an .mp3 (or directly as an .ogg) to use with EOF. But instead of using EOF's resulting .wav to create the .wem, use your own - you could set it as high as you like in that case.

 

That's what I do.  Open the mp3 up in Audacity, add leading silence and export a .wav to bring into EOF and an .ogg to bring into Wwise.

 

That said, maybe it's because I play through whatever headphones I can find or the years of listening to old blues and old time recordings that sound like they were recorded to wax cylinder, but I'm no audiophile and I think this is a non-issue.  I haven't downloaded a custom yet that I thought had a bad sounding recording.
