Willing to pay for a song to be stepped

No, that's not even close to the same thing

Even when I still used a shitty pair of $50 headphones to step, there's a HUGE difference between 192 and 320 for stepping. There are a lot of sounds that get lost between the two, and if you use DDReam, the waveform on the 192 is WAY harder to read than the 320. So yeah, having a 320 is kinda important for stepping

there's no "standard audio quality" for most stepmania files what are you even on about
also that wasted space sentiment is wrong as fuc

there's a noticable difference between 192 and 320 even on an integrated soundcard if you use any sort of headphones worth their salt. Shit, you can tell a difference with ****ing portapros. The whole "placebo effect" argument doesn't apply here

stepmania can't read flac or wav files ~owned~

nairopanda = wrecked

[Herogashix]

^
I ****ing died.

[xferrarix]

nairopanda please kill yourself

[xVaLoRx]

lmao that double post was worth it

[Tyson ultima]

Sorry was using an alt. ANYWAY you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. I own a good audio set up and I had the backing of evnoir with my case who just so happens to be an audio engineer. Your going to be smashing keys reguardless your not going to spend your time nitpicking the sounds and shit that come from the music because you are playing for a good score. And I will say it again if you have a STANDARD (low grade) set up and if your ANYTHING (Meaning you don't have ears like Piccolo) like most people you won't be able to tell the difference between 192 and 320. But last time i checked no one decided to do a blind test to prove me wrong. So please don't talk about music unless you really know what your talking about.

tldr: Won't ****ing matter cause your smashing keys. And you over exaggerate the amount of sound lost.

Equipment used: Sennheiser HD650s and audeze LCD2's with Fiio e9 and Nuforce Icon HDP amp.

rog's post ****ing made my day lmao

[Evnoir]

This argument is really off topic lol

Smaller bit rates usually result in the low end and high end frequencies to be removed. You'd get more of a 'muddy mix'. People do not usually hear a difference because they're use to bad quality audio. If you start listening to WAV/AIFF, FLAC, OGG files... You'll start to hear differences. Just gotta train your ears to it.

And with that, has anyone finished stepping those songs yet?

[Wayward Vagabond]

personal problems have me held back

also from stepping for as long as i have. i can tell when the audio quality sucks. even more so when i have both 192 and 320 to compare.

Anyway I am coming to an impass thanks to WC as to which "stepping and playing are both different in this matter" It would be better to step in 320 yes, but for the people that are playing the file i am sure they wouldn't mind it in 192.

[irionman]

I was just going to check on this thread to see if anyone was coming along nicely with the songs, and then I get to see Nairopanda getting owned after his first two posts. It's a good tuesday.

[00Razor00]

well, that escalated quickly

[baq12]

I'm about halfway done with the pandemonium song, should hopefully be done by true weekend whenever I get free time

rofl if you can't tell the difference between 192 and 320, you must be using horrible laptop speakers or shitty Walmart brand tweeters. sorry but i think you mean 256

[kommisar]

this is sort of how I picture irionman regarding simfile artists





one shouldn't get paid to make files lmao. but that's just my opinion
