lower volume below 1

[o()o]

Ok ok.

 

So like, I listen to music whens i play contiuum right, and would like the make the sounds even quieter than 1, cuz its still pretty loud.

 

So i thought to meself, i haz two options. find a way to boost the volume over the max setting in WMP, or i could find i way to reduce the volumes in contiuum. I figured the latter would makez more sense cuz i want the system sounds of other apps to me normal sounding as wells.

 

So then I thought. How ams i gonna make the sounds belows 1 in contiuum?

 

Well i first tried the obvious and tried doinn sound=0.5 to set it to 50% of 1, but that didn't work.

 

so i thought sum moar and was like, I know! I'll just edit all the sound files to 50% their original volume!

 

so i went to the folder right, and was like O___O, cuz there are a looot of sound files, and I don't wanna waste like a whole day editing each one.

 

SOooooo. I come to u guys, so find a quick way to do a m!@#$%^&* volume eddit of all the files. OR, maybe give me a link to a pre-edited bunch of the original songs.

 

 

Sooo any ideaz guys? Maybe there is an easy solution i'm just missing here.

mm, sadly not. ?sound=1 and ?music=1 is as quiet as you can get it...

[Shock]

Yeah, same problem here.

 

It's either REALLY loud, or you can't hear it at all.

You could make it ?sound=0. But that will kill your sound altogether.

 

Other than that, you have to waste your whole day editing.

[Samapico]

Continuum's volume control does really suck.

 

However, you might want to try to ?sound=2, then ?sound=1 again. When I start, the volume of a couple of things are set to maximum, whatever the current ?sound level is... For example, wall bumping sounds will be super loud, while mine-laying sound will be at 1. So I just set the sound again.

 

Don't know if this happens to other people too... But it happened on the 2 comps I played on, so it probably is a common bug.

Besides that, I have noticed that sounds sometimes leak through ?sound=0

 

Which is ofcourse the same bug

Yeah, JoWie.

 

pointdefense in HS does the same thing to me.. and it's extremely loud.

[o()o]

ok guys. I hab succeededs.

 

I found this:

http://www.freewaregenius.com/2008/01/07/m...nge-of-formats/

 

That program allows u to select a bunch of files and change the volume of all them at once.

 

So what I did was convert the files to wav using Extention changer 0.5. I then lowered the volume by 10db use the above program. Then I converted it bak to wa2 and put it in the right folder. and VIOLA. Its quiet now!

 

If anyone wants the finished stuff, I could post it, i suppose, though its pretty easy to do it urself. =)

 

Fanks for help guys

[Shock]

Hah, that's a pretty good idea.

 

Good job, man.

 

Can you upload a .zip of the finished product, please?

[JoWie]

You dont have to use the wa2 extension, wav works to

[o()o]

K i attached it.

 

meh I put it in wa2 format anyway lol.

[Shock]

wa2 and bm2 are extensions for .wav and .bmp, so it doesn't matter.

 

Thanks, btw.

I'm pretty sure you could have had a much easier sound editing experience if you used Audacity.

[Shock]

Audacity is awesome, I use it.

[o()o]

I have Audacity, but I didn't know if was possible to edit like a bunch of files at once.

[Shock]

Well, there's a db changer on the side, so you could do it rather quickly.

[Samapico]

Cool... this will probably find its way to SubspaceDownloads.com
