Sample Overload Check

[Bruzo]

This may not be the perfect place to post this:

The main problem of 24-ppl arrangements is that it's easy to overload the lotro music system (to play more than 64 samples at a time) - now the issue is that there WAS no way to know that upfront if you were using Maestro or Fireferns.

That's different now - I can test your ABC files for exactly that matter if you made them with Fireferns or Maestro and give you information about where you have to change your song.

So if you want any ABC's to be tested to get a graphical impression of why it's not going to sound good when TSO plays it in game .. send me your file and I'll return something like this - which is the load of Brandalfs Rhapsody arrangement ( 24-(Brand)Rhapsody ):

(notice that anything above the green vertical line will be dropped by the lotro music system and not played properly)

Ofc that can also be split for the different instruments etc.

I was going to ask you this very question!

Bruzo can you please take a look at the sample overload of the FOTR file and let me know if it's tone heavy. I expect it may be in places.

[Bruzo]

To me it looks good:

There is a very little overload right at the beginning and in the middle, and a bit bigger blob at the end, where we're actually loosing roughly 1/3 of the tones - but I guess it'll be quite a challenge to change that.

I was quite generous making this version, thinking it easier to slim it down a little at a time, rather than cut it to the bone and have a weak orchestra.

 

I will be re transcribing this after U15. So let me know when you have all the new instruments in BruTE.

Hehe as soon as the Beta-Server with update 15 is live I'll be there for testing.

As Monty Burns would say: "Excellent"!

Kannst du das bitte austesten?

 

Mozart - Marriage of Figaro ( 14)

Hehe first I thought my scripts are bugged because they only found 12 parts, but in the 14-figaro file are just 12 parts:

So the short answer is: it has a tiny bit of overload in the end but it's very little and only short (like 74 out of 64 possible samples) .. and the culprits are the theorbo and lute (they both together already play 40% of the available tones around 4:10 ).

I'm sure it'll be so little that no1 will notice - it's a nice conversion, I like it - but you should really name it to 12-...
