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
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
Try loading that into madtracker.
Edit: Madtracker doesn´t support 32 bit |

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
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.

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....  |

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!!
