Convert Wav to It

[PhAyzoN]

*Yes, i know you can do it in modplug*

Is there a way to convert a .wav to .it without it being the same size as the wav (20mb) ?

[piet]

i think not, but you could just cut out all the instruments and compose the whole think again.

[PhAyzoN]

An EASY way would be nice...

[piet]

the thing that makes an IT file small is the allmost the same way why a midi file is small, like a midi file only includes a time table for when it needs to play a instrument. by MIDI the instruments come with the soundcard drivers (i think) and IT includes the instruments itself.

if you have 5 hours of the same tick tack tock it will have the same size like it was 5 minutes.

the more instruments you get from a WAV the smaller the filesize. (doesnt sound right but it is think about it)

[piet]

i belive there are programs that make some sort of midi from a wav or mp3.
they sound like crap but the timetable is correct.

now you only need to get the instruments out

If the song repeats a lot you could cut the song into parts and track them so it plays the song by using the same wav that repeats.... it could get pretty small...

I'm too lazy to explain if you don't understand right now...

[piet]

its like making instruments of some whole parts of the song.
like:

lalalal lallal al lalla la l al lalla llal al
lalalal lallal al lalla la l al lalla llal al
lalalal lallal al lalla la l al lalla llal al
lalalal lallal al lalla la l al lalla llal al

lalala

lalalal lallal al lalla la l al lalla llal al
lalalal lallal al lalla la l al lalla llal al
lalalal lallal al lalla la l al lalla llal al
lalalal lallal al lalla la l al lalla llal al

the "lalalal lallal al lalla la l al lalla llal al" is repeating a lot so you can do it like this:

4x lalalal lallal al lalla la l al lalla llal al

1x alala

4x lalalal lallal al lalla la l al lalla llal al


now you only have 2 instruments.

(dont you think i can sing like a bird)

Ok then...

I have the MIDI that the Wave came from, can i convert a MIDI to an IT?

[piet]

you can import it in modplug

[PhAyzoN]

you can import it in modplug

then it sound like the crappy version of it i already have.

[aokmaniac13]

then it sound like the crappy version of it i already have.
That's because it's taking the instruments from your midi driver's library.
