Hlss

**cattlecruiser** · 04-27-2007, 12:43 AM

I know that a lot the quality in files played over HLSS depends on the server's settings, but having already followed the directions on correctly converting audio .wavs, is there anything i can do to improve the quality of my sounds? some codecs i can dl or something? my files still sound bad and at times, just fades out.

the best converted wavs are on the forums for hlss.us

ppl scrub those files tight before releasing them

First you become this:

Then you play this:

And we all sing along about these:

That's how.

Well guys, we all knew this day was bound to come.

Wyz has officially lost his mind. Call the men in white coats.

Audacity?

TBH I shouldn't be encouraging this. I despise HLSS.

Psh, I'll translate for Wyz:
1) Become Yellow Asterisk
2) Play John Denver
3) Sing Thank God I'm a Country Boy (those are Cakes on a Griddle)

so Wyz isn't insane... you guys are just out of loop

**Yoshi MCF** · 04-30-2007, 10:35 PM

The fact that you speak Wyz doesn't disprove his insanity. It only proves yours.

That's sig-quality material right there.

I use this program to do my HLSS coverting. Works pretty well although this version looks different to mine, probably newer.

Note: I don't use HLSS on TG. Everyone hates you. Instantly.

You know, this really isn't necessarily true. It's just a really risky move. Too many too often use HLSS to "earn" folks' attention, which is quite the gaming faux pas.

--
It's really a crap shoot. If you get the mood right (which just about always means VERY seldom use complemented by well-timed brevity), it can be fun (I'm a big fan of this stuff in the end-game, when not a SINGLE teammate gives a damn anymore -- typically when we're getting our asses handed to us).

And, if you get it wrong, an admin (temp or otherwise, I'm sure) will shut you down pretty fast. If you get it wrong a lot, you'll probably disappear for a while.

I'm sure a big part of "getting it right" is also the sound quality. After all, no one wants to hear that bidness if it sounds awful. Too loud is terrible, too.

I see wyz's point. You all will be subjected to my high quality HLSS'ing shortly (You're the man now dogg!).

and in anticipation of this, a little reminder to all tempadmins:

you can also bind these to a key for easy access
