Darn, awesome!

And will you support lower sound quality too? It would be nice to be able to use sound effects or small songs inside games, or maybe have some sort of beatbox/music maker

Ah ok, I thought lower quality would be easier than higher . Weird

I was asking since someone did it with Guitar Hero 83+. It's up to you, though.

There's not much to work on. It's basically done. Full length tracks wouldn't work because they are too big, but 1 min ones do. I guess I could write a batch file or something to put the song together, but I'm not really sure what else I can work on.

Meh, I was looking for that supposed compression you were talking about.
At the very least, get a little script and a link on the main page so I can find this project easier.

There's compression; it's just not as good as you'd like it to be. I don't think it can be made any better, actually, without making it too slow, IIRC.

It would be nice if a script was written to create the songs and release on ticalc.org. I wouldn't be surprised if this was newsworthy considering it supports new calcs as well. Was RealSound ever released on Ticalc anyway?

Wow amazing! Although it is cam recording the sound quality seems pretty good. I'll have to try this at one point. Great job! Are you planning to upload this on ticalc.org?

EDIT: Problem... sighs... stupid 64-bit Windows 7...

When I type convert MAGICHC (MAGICHC.wav is located under the wav directory), I get the following error:

"The program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

I get this even though I have MSVCR100.dll on my computer (under System32). I tried putting it in SysWOW64 instead and still got that error message. Same if I put it in the truSound directory.

Any help?

EDIT: Nvm, I finally figured out: truSound is dependent on Visual C++ runtimes, so you need to install this to run it if you don't have Visual C++ installed.

EDIT 2: Btw, newer versions of Audacity (such as the Windows 7 compatible one) have a different Microsoft 8 bit PCM setting (Unsigned) and it doesn't appear to play the song at the right speed when converted to truSound. What I finally did is just doubling the speed of my song file in Audacity.

EDIT 3: Actually, 16 bit Signed PCM produces the same 8xk file size. Anyway, attached file below. (One of my last song)

DJ, thanks for finding the bug with the C++ runtime libraries. I've had several people tell me they weren't necessary, but I guess they are.

With the microsoft 8 bit pcm, I don't know what other format they could have used. 8 bit seems pretty straight forward to me. One possibility is that my speed test actually finds a glitch in wabbitEmu. The instruction ADC HL,BC runs 4 t-states too fast. WabbitEmu is supposed to run at 15,000,000 Hz which gives a proper sample rate of 15,000,000/696=21,552. But if you say that you had to double the speed, then there's a different problem.

So are you saying that an 8 bit song playing at twice the speed was the same size as a 16 bit file playing at the right speed?

And finally, wabbitEmu tends to add some really nasty high pitch noises into the song. (It might be the sound card too). So don't think that those are final. But surprisingly, you're song didn't do it DJ, that might be because it was made with a computer.

It takes a sample rate of bytes per second. So most calculators average around 23,000Hz making for 23,000 bytes per second. (This makes DCS look tiny )
