Talk:Game rip (audio)

Analog/digital
I may be totally off on some of the analog/digital stuff, so correct me if I'm wrong. --Kaleb.G 00:38, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Not sure if it was your edits but I changed Digital Recording to Direct Output. This is a bit of a grey area and not easy to define. Applications such as NSF emulator or Winamp with Midi 2 Wave aren't doing a "digital recording" per se but I can see why most people would call it that for a lack of a better name.


 * What is happening behind the scenes is the RAW audio samples are being rendered into a PCM Waveform which is normally output through your speakers in real time, but that is adjusted and output directly into a file and at whatever speed they desire so it can be faster.


 * The process still uses your soundcard to render the PCM (try doing it in a PC with your soundcard disabled it won't work). Various sound cards will produce different quality waveforms based on numerous factors. Technically it's not digital, but not sure analog would be a proper name either, so that is why I defined it as "Direct Output" which is via hardware rendering - and we need RS to confirm that too.

Citing sources
I'm not really sure where to get references for a lot of this info. Most of it is just common practice from various communities of game music fans. Are there any specific areas where sources are needed? --Kaleb.G 13:01, 6 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I added some links for references. Hopefully this is enough for now to at least convey the idea that this article isn't just fluff. --Kaleb.G 21:25, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Delete
I say that they should erase it to this article --Pablo323 (talk) 05:12, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Que porqueria de articulo, con razon tienen tantos este wiki --190.137.186.162 (talk) 19:05, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No offense, but it doesn't seem like you understand English well enough to make a sound assessment about deleting an English article. --Kaleb.G (talk) 19:53, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I also think this article is not fact delivering or notable and should be deleted.RCHM (talk) 00:28, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

No CD Games used Redbook CDDA
Not unless they are not a game but a soundtrack. I changed all the articles and references that I could find that incorrectly state that VGM from CD Games are Redbook it is not. Redbook CDDA is an audio only format and very specific standard (i.e. audio only, single session etc.). Yellowbook CD-ROM is data only and what most games used, however when they use CD Streaming Audio the format is properly called Mixed Mode CD. The first track is always data and the rest are audio - this is not Redbook or Yellowbook but a mix :) I am surprised on how many articles have incorrectly used this on Wiki. Please be aware of this misconception and help change any incorrect references other the ones I have found.

Corrected: Streaming audio in video games, Video game music, Game rip (audio).

Thanks. Tyros1972 (talk) 20:38, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Article Improvement Ideas
There are a number of issues that I can see, but asking for help and ideas on this.

First off not sure that the way some of the explanations are written in context for wiki, such as stating editing or remastering is needed if a game rip is made (that's an optional aspect).

Secondly the article has only 2 sources to verify what is written, obviously we need to find more reliable sources concerning Game Audio Ripping. Anyone have ideas or suggestions? Tyros1972 (talk) 03:28, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

GiivaSunner
I have removed the GiivaSunner promotional section again, it makes very little sense and seems to serve only to promote the youtube channel. I don't think it even makes sense to link to it as a reference, as it doesn't contain information about ripping, only the rips themselves (and some amount of parody?).
