I was planning on releasing my mugen soundtrack collection for the screenpack I want to make but I'm having a problem with the sound quality. I have tracks with quality that is overly good so its blasting loud and tracks that are way to soft at the highest volume which makes the easily drowned out by character sfx.

Is their a good program to help me fix the volume on my mp3s. Thanks in advance.

P.S. there is also a bit of sound ripping help I need. I have choppy video due to my crappy video card. Is there a good non power consuming to rip from mame. Trying to get the Japan Stage song from NeoGeo's Sengoku Denshou/Legends 3 since finding the official CD tracks for the game is near impossible even online.

u can use a program called audacity to fix up the sounds, for example fixing the highs, mids, and lows.

Actually I have that program but I'm trying to edit mp3s and If I did that I would need a program to convert them back into an mp3 format after I'm done. It's like they auto convert to wave files while you work on them.

Install the LAME mp3 codec from here.

Now you should be able to save as mp3.

Open your files in Windows Movie Maker, using the option to decrease or increase the volume, save em as a WMA file, convert em with iTunes back to MP3

Either I need to find the proper sengoku 3 for nebula or I'm missing something. I had everything for nebula set up and working at a friends house but when I transfered it to my PC nothing work.
Ima give it another go and see what happens this time.

...Let me find that lame plugin real quick.

Actually I got the track and the plugin so I'm good. spent 2 days fixing the tracks and I may need another day to add the ones I'm looking for. Only problem I had with nebula is that it won't run neo geo cd but I forgot that I could run mame programs in jukebox so thats all good.

Thanks for the help.

dude...like I said, for all your conversion needs, down iTunes for free because you can convert a number of formats to MP3 and vice versa

Well if it works for him to use a different program then let him be. iTunes just feels like a program with codes thrown at it.

Sgt Hartsock · « **Reply #12 on:** August 30, 2008, 03:19:46 PM »

and not difficult to use either

The easiest program for me to use is Windows Movie Maker. What i like about it, it works for videos and audios. Audios, you can cut, put together, raise or lower the volume, fade out, and many other features.

sounds like im selling the product

Sgt Hartsock · « **Reply #14 on:** August 30, 2008, 07:34:03 PM »

ya, that's my sort of my post product work for songs before I convert it with iTunes

Also if you are having problems with some music being loud and others being soft. Have you considered looking at what the bitrate for each song is. I have found out if you put a song that is at 128kbps on MUGEN it will sound very low. so I determined if I put songs with a bitrate of 160kbps or higher they will come out more clear. I also found a software to convert lower bitrate audio file to a higher bitrate without degrading the integrity of the audio file. Here is the link to the software I use for my MUGEN: http://www.bestsoftware4download.com/software/t-free-alt-mp3-bitrate-converter-download-xxllzkyt.html Hope this will help

Yeah I noticed that too. But Yeah, I spent a whole week increasing the volume with audacity so now they're all ear drum busters.
I just lower the volume on the individual stages now.

I just need to get a few more tracks and this thing should be ready to go.
