hi qhimm forums
 
 does anyone know how to change ff8 pc music to mp3
 
Mp3 won't help you because it won't loop...  so it would end in game and then start again from beginning and not sound right.

What is needed in VIII is ogg loop or psf.
 
I disagree with you on that though. What would really be good would be an open-source tool to be able to view and modifiate SGTs for FF8. Also extract its MIDI if possible. I know there are tools out there for SGTs but they all cost money. It is kinda annoying when you want to check this out.
 
Hi DLPB and Vgr,

i have found a way to convert the SGT's to WAV.   :D

UGerstl. You know that people like DLPB will read this post, so no need to send it in PM AS WELL.

Anyway, this is something that can be done (I thought about it once, recording then looping it) but I'd like to know how you did.
 
@Vgr: Another one punches into my face ... Thanks

[*]This is the way how i work, accept it or ignore the PM's/E-mail's i send.
[*]This is not a thread of DLPB, so he could miss my posting.
[*]I write a documentation how i have done it, when i am totally satisfied
with the result and when the converting is done.

I found these:



mp3.rar                                  Phun             FF8 Music as MP3                              Qhimm FILE


Music ALPHA.rar                          Phun             FF8 Music as MP3                              Qhimm FILE

 
I did read :)  But I have no interest any anything other than FF8 official OST Uncompressed being made into Ogg, perhaps with a few extra from the orchestra editions.
 8-)

Whilst this might be the way you prefer to do things, you have to appreciate that some members find regular PMs a tad annoying. I'd recommend sticking to forum posts unless there's something that's directed to a single person alone.

The question is, Are the sound files better sounding then MIDI?
 
I disabled PM's from everyone but those that can help my projects and so forth.  It works wonders.
 
@Hellbringer616: As i started to convert the SGT sound files, i compared the result
                            of a WAV file with a MIDI file. The MIDI file sounds like crap.


@DLPB: I know.   :'(




Update :  I have found a better way of recording ( Stereo + Reverb ).
                     Expect a complete update of all files soon.

What bitrate/compression settings did you use for the OGG and MP3 encodes?
 
@Hellbringer616:  Yes, indeed.   ;D

@Covarr:  OGG  :  Best quality = ~500 kbps, q10.0
                 MP3  :  Best quality =   320 kbps CBR
                 FLAC :  level 5
 
tbh for a game that is overkill.  If distributing lossless, frac, if not MP3 or ogg VBR best quality.
 
@DLPB: It's for the sound fans, like me.   ;)

             Do you want another compression rate ?
 
Nah, I have some nice MP3's here already  8) and I am willing to bet that you and 99.999% of everyone else couldn't tell the difference between them and the uncompressed.
