Well users,

Thanks for waiting.  The frontend is now complete.  It's now at version 1.0 and I do intend to update it with extra features, but for now, all it can do is convert a WAV to ADX file, with or without loop points.  I suggest that the first thing you do once you run the program, is to view the help by pressing the question mark on the top right-hand corner.  Here is the link:

ADX Frontend v1.0

As it says in the help file, if you find any bugs with the frontend (not adxencd.exe), just contact me at djdarkx_mod@yahoo.com and let me know what the problem is.  Laterz~

EDIT:
It's coming! Version 1.1 is coming real soon.  I need testers to make sure it works correctly as I have created a new GUI and want to make sure there aren't any  bugs so far.  Anyone wan to help me out?

Well, thank you for the idea!

I'm actually thinking of doing something like that, but I need some more advice on it.  I've worked out all of the bugs from V1.1 (still not released yet) and it works wonders!  I'm still looking for testers before I make it final.  Also, I'm gonna try and make a REAL help file using HelpScribble.

Also, keep in mind that I just formatted my HDD (ADX Encoder v1.1 and source intact) so it may take some time to make a new setup file for v1.1 and to start making v1.2 with "Saved Settings."  I will make it so that everytime you put in the settings you desire, all you have to do is press a save button and it will save it to a file.  When you want to recall the settings from before (maybe you re-normalized or used filters the second time around) all you have to do is press an open button and retrieve the settings from the saved file.  Simple, no?

Also, I'll see if I can fit some settings from adxencd.exe, which I stumbled upon while doing some DOS stuff, into the next version (LFP settings, resampling for compresion, compression data size).  Most of this stuff is still based on popularity of the frontend and the idea of using ADX instead of MP3.  If not much feedback comes from the community, then I see no reason to continue.  If I see popularity for this add-on rise, then I will continue.  Users?  What say you?

Well for my part, I'm going to start releasing BGMs in ADX. This should raise ADX popularity to a level they'll want to do it too.

Sounds like a plan to me.  I actually went over to your site earlier today and was gonna suggest that to you, but you beat me to the punch.  Also, I love the work you've done with your charatcers.  I used some of them before...excellent work.  That's my honest opinion.  Anyways, if you wanna test the new version 1.1 for me, just added target directory and a new GUI, then let me know.  Laterz~

Well, is it that the MP3 cuts out completely after the "looped" area or is the MP3 file not too good?  I can have a look at it, just point me in the direction of the MP3 file and I can see why you had to cut the best part.  When it comes to looping, I'm very good at it.  I loop instruments to make soundfonts and the such, so looping MP3's is even easier.  Let me know.

not that, i already "connected" the starting and ending points of the loop
i meant that the beginning of the bgm is totally different from the rest (starts out with water sounds, then the music gradually starts) so i couldn't leave it there if i wanted the bgm to loop correctly

...why not include the intro?  ADX files can play an intro and have a looped region.  That's why they have looppoints instead of just start of waveform to end of waveform.  Besides, the file size wont really matter when you have ADX files on hand for continuous music.

I think he's talking about the experience when he had to use MP3 to loop stuff.

Anyway, hook me up for the beta testing thingy.

Sure thing.  I'll PM you the link as soon as the setup file is ready.  Should be ready by tomorrow.  I'll contact to morrow as soon as it's ready.  Keep an eye out for it.

Quick question, what do you mean by "define the loop points in wave samples" ?? Are you saying like start point at 0:00 and ending point at 1:32 ?? BTW, kinda new at this. :P

No, that's defining loop points in decimal.  defining loop points in wave samples is like 0 and 7420395 or 96253 and 66239766 (random loop points given for example).  Decimal time format is an estimation, as were wave samples are precise.  I guess when you work with soundfonts/sample banks for a long time, you get used to it.  It's not hard to figure out, all you have to do is change the time view on whatever editor you're using, select the points and go from there.  If you need help, let me know.

For me, ADX files play REALLY fast, skipping through the song. Here are the settings I have for it.



If I turn down the priority to normal, it plays normal for most of the songs, but it has points where it skips and eventually it just stalls. Any idea on what to do?

Change Fade Length to 10. It fixed the same problem I had.

By the way, is it possible to make existing ADX files louder? The MvC2 and NGBC ones I just downloaded are completely covered up by my characters' voices (warusaki3's chars are WAY too loud).

The way for that would be to remember the loop points. decompress, make stuff louder, then recompress.
That stuff I find a wee bit uncomfortable.

Unless someone gets a hold of CRI's editor for ADX files.

Unfortunetly, it didn't fix my problem. :( The only thing that works right now is changing my Hardware Acceleration from Full to None, but 1. I have to set it before using Mugen, and set it back afterwards. 2. The ADX songs skip sometimes whenever sound effects or voice samples are played.

Thought so.

EDIT: Aha, figured it out. Just doesn't make a whole lot of difference :(
