A Little Music Problem

#1 Post by G.K.Sil Kamina »

I've got a curious music problem. I'm not sure if it's a problem caused by converting the music files from MP3 to Ogg Vorbis, or if it's an issue with the original files. After the conversion, all of the songs play just fine and dandy out of the game.

But once I put the songs in the game, the problem arises. Most of them work perfectly, but there are a couple of stinkers who sound incredibly tinny/distorted. Any idea as to what would cause that to happen?

Quite possibly, some of the songs aren't at 44100hz. Ren'Py really likes it when samples are 44100, 16 bit, stereo; and tends to produce bad results when it's not.

That would most certainly explain it. Many thanks!
