something to amplify volume without distortion
 

m on 2001-12-22 06:44 [#00063476]



I need free software that will take a wav (or an mp3) and
simply make it louder without making it all crunchy because
of over amplification. Modplug tracker's main problem is not
allowing freedom of making samples louder (there's a limit,
if the little picture of the sound wav goes outside the box,
then it gets cut off and distorted). I already asked this
and someone answeed but the topic must've gotten deleted or
something because I can't find it. Will cool edit do this,
(if cool edit is even a program)?

to mW..hmm I hear yer hardware woes..me I am running out of
harddisk space and having to save all my stuff directly in
mp3 format :(..but in the interim..you could try downloading
a share/freeware wav editing suit like cooledit from
www.downloads.com or some such ..they are usually quite slim
and don't tax yer system much..save yer creation as a wav
and then take it into the suite and there you can put on a
ton of effects on it..fade in and out..even increasing the
levels and volumes etc...the amps and boosts are usually
pretty clean..I don't know its worth a shot if having low
recording volumes is a major concern...

actually people have said you can't save anything on the
shareware version so now I'm stuck again.

save. I'll try that if this one doesn't work. thankziz.

hey m - don't know how much ram you got, and if cool edit is
working then you may as well flag reading the rest BUT:

I find Protools free quite awesome in that respect.
[www.digidesign.com] (munches away at ram - and i think
requires win98 ??) - but if you can run it - i very much
recommend it.

You can "gain" yer tracks and find the highest peak - so
that it doesn't cut of the wav you speak of. For some reason
I manage to get it much louder than Cubase (which for some
reason I can't get that loud without maxing out and causing
some disturbing resonance on speakers). ? Hope this helps

GoldWave Digital Audio Editor which is shareware has an
option to increase the sample rate and other cool tweaks.

btw, althought GoldWave is shareware, its fully functional
except after about 10 mins or so it'll stop working. just
close it and reopen it... or find a crack. :)

thanks for these suggestions, I'll have to check them out
because cool wav's amplifier does exactly what modpllug's
amplifier does; it only amplifies the wav within the visual
constraints of a box the wav is in. If it goes outside the
box the wav gets cut off! I don't get it, I know it's
possible to amplify volume without distortion... just like
you can turn up the volume control on your stereo and it
simply gets louder, it doesn't cut off the sound or make it
crunchy sounding. I just want it so that the volume will be
loud sounding on headphones, with say the volume turned up
to "6" instead of up to "10".

i use cool edit pro and i find the amplification works quite
well for me. too bad it doesn't do what you want it too
because cool edit pro is fantastic software.

I'm sorry, I completely solved my problem. I was just too
retarded to fully check out the options in this software I
use, there was an option that wasn't in plain view but it's
a seperate volume control. So now I can make super loud
songs easily without having to "double up" the data in the
pattern. eeexelent....
