Title: Conversion Question/Problems
Post by: neo23 on November 07, 2002, 07:31:17 pm
I have some selected sound loops I am using for my new site (that is in development):
http://www.aon-gg.net/neoSolutions/test

I changed the intro from .wav to mp3 works out fine. Used SoundForge to get the parts I wanted and put them together to get that sample used. But then I have sound samples that are used as cd-selections. Just snipplets of mp3 tracks looped. Right now they are in the .wav format and kinda big. I want to convert them to mp3 to reduce the size, which is a big reduction size. But one problem. When I convert them from .wav to .mp3 they have a 2 second silence gap added to the beggining and the end, therefore causing the loop to not loop smoothly. I tried SoundForge and MJ, both giving me the same results. I have also tried to convert it, then edit it again and resave it, does the same thing. I also tried just getting the sample straight from the mp3 and not saving it as .wav first. Ended up with the same results.

Thanks in advance,
Shawn

Nice site design  :)

The problem is that the MP3 format isn't really capable of gapless playback on it's own.  That's why there are all of those crossfade & gapless plug-ins available for MJ and Winamp.  You might consider trying Ogg Vorbis if you want gapless.

Flash can only import .wav and MP3 formats, .aiff for Mac. The has got to be a way. I know there is. I have found a sound loop from a track that is in MP3 format, and it has no gaps. They either used a prog to take the gaps out (edited manually) or used something else to convert from .wav to .mp3
