By the way: why do you need an 8 hour ambient-wave file?

CD-quality:
44100 samples per second * 16 bit * 2 (stereo) = 1411200 bits per second = 176400 bytes per second * 60 * 60 * 8
= 5080320000 bytes per 8 hour
= aprox 4.8 gigabyte Shocked

Unless you want:
196000 samplerate
32 bit floating
stereo

196000 samples per second * 32 bit * 2 (stereo) = 12544000 bits per second = 1568000 bytes per second * 60 * 60 * 8
= 45158400000 bytes per 8 hour
= aprox 42 gigabyte Shocked

Try loading that into madtracker.

Edit: Madtracker doesn´t support 32 bit Embarassed

There are reasons, and these reasons are apparently preferably not known in public. His choice, I'd say.

Sorry, overlooked that sentence.
Though it makes me even more currious.

Argee it doesn't work with selecting "wave". I still don't have that option on my soundcard's mixer Smile
I don't need an 8 gigabyte file... If you send me a sample of say 4mb and it sounds ok to me, then you can compress the big file using 192khz mp3 (not ogg) which will land around .. 400-500mb? (havent done the maths).

ok, so how are you connecting the ins and outs of your soundcard to get that monofile?

and what is the make of your motherboard (that has the built in soundcard)

Inge was right. These sounds are looped static samples created from 22kHz, 8 bit, stereo *.wav-files.

I´ve recorded the requested environment as a 48kHz, 16bit, stereo wav-file. In Adobe Audition you can easily see the pattern repeating itself. By zooming in on sample level it´s easy to make a perfect loop of it:

http://argee.madtracker.net/Windchimes.wav

Just load the file in Adobe Audition select the whole waveform and push the loop-buttom.

Edit: The link doesn´t seem to work, so I also mailed it to your Madtracker Webmail.

Btw: Did you try to record in 32 bit floathing? Cause with me this resulted in a mono-file also. Try 16 bit instead.

The url worked fine. In face, I don't use my MT webmail (ever) so, if you do send me something, use souleye @t comhem.se.

I did not try 32 bit until I read this, but I got the same results nonetheless.

Your wav does not sound like the original. Have you normalized it? I'd prefer an untouched sample.

Grtz,

Souleye

I´ve recorded the sound as hard as possible (without clipping) and normalized it afterwards. By using the biggest dynamic range possible when recording a wav-file, you get better quality.

But here is a new sample:

soul... why dont you just record 2 mono files then mix them down in cool edit at 75% pan in each direction.. that would achieve a stereo result... no?

Because I cannot choose to record the left or right channels separately. I would only get two joint stereo mono files which, when remixed, would come out as a mono file.

I also get noise when recording "what you hear".

Lets close this topic now, I've gotten the help I needed.

What you COULD help me with, is explaining the phallos in your avatar.... Smile

Final post: It appears my soundcard was/is faulty. It cannot record only from one source, but records from all sources at the same time. I did everything right from the beginning, but the hardware from creative (live 24bit) made it all impossible.

Thanks for all help anyway!!

Humbly, SoulEye
