Sorry if what I wrote was unclear, but I was comparing the M1 VGM to the MAME VGM, I just output both to WAV so it could be visualized in a post. I thought it might be how the winamp plugin was handling the wav out, but the visual EQ bars and the volume was noticeably louder on the MAME one.ValleyBell wrote:You're doing the volume comparision the wrong way.
You should compare the VGM logged by M1 with the VGM logged by MAME. The volume should be the same.
VGMPlay's default volume is often a bit higher than those of other emulators.
If you want the VGM's volume to be lower, you can use the "vgm_ptch" tool to reduce it.Code: Select all
vgm_ptch -SetVolMod:0.5 "file.vgm"
Thank you for that info on vgm_ptch, I didn't see anything about it doing any level adjustment in the readme file. It worked great and I should be able to match the levels. I had thought once the VGM was logged, the clipping would remain, but then I realized the VGM is essentially instructions for how to play back the music. I'm learning... slowly, but I'm learning.
Thanks again for everyone's help with this.
