If you are patient (you are), separate every track and render them using dedicated settings.

Using modplug ?

Does rendering one at a time increase quality ?

I did consider something like this a while back, exporting everything individually and loading them into a digital multitrack, for a 20 channel track this would wouldn't be so much effort, but keeping track of what works where would take some serious concentration.

With mixing I find that a small change in one level for example, means alterations are required in five other parts.

The issue I percieve is the lack of frequency presence in some bands which is noticeable in every song, and on every channel to some extent.. so I think the solution is going to be on a song level raher than a track level.

Will be fun experimenting, and I'll post if I find out anything useful

Maybe i had it configured bad, but Winamp did some strange things to the xm's i listened to hrough it. Timings on the pitch slides sounded way off.

Maybe I wasn't using a good module player plugin though.

Will add that to the 'to experiment' list, ty for the suggestion

Topic: XM to wav techniques (15 replies, posted in Tutorials, Mods & How-To's)

Have had google, but not found anything yet on the more advanced aspects (i.e. not just pressing "save as wav" in Milky Tracker) of this process.

Though I love the crunchyness of no interpolation it sometimes seems to my ears that there is something missing in the high midrange and the bass also feels a bit thin.

One solution I was thinking of was to make two outputs, one of them with interpolation and mix this with the main raw output using only the frequency bands it feels like the track is lacking and at a much lower volume.

It's a bit weird though.

So I'm looking at XMPlay now, to see if there's anything in the settings which can help.

Anyone here done any experimenting ?

Would really appreciate any tips or links to online resources if they exist

cheers !

It's like riding a bike !

your musical life sounds really familiar

great stuff, loving it, and your oldschool crafting skills are immediately obvious.

not exactly cc, because all the tracks are great, but I'd love to see a bigger picture, go on a longer journey, with greater peaks and troughs than a 3 minute song can provide.
