Title: converting med to mp3 or wave or aiff or raw
Post by: jumpship on February 24, 2003, 06:58:04 PM

does anyone know of a program (for the Amiga) that will convert a MED file into a "wave" file be it MP3 Aiff etc? Thanks!

One possibility is to use OctaMED Soundstudio to write AIFFs. I think that Digibooster Pro also supports "rendering to a file" thing.

If you can get hold on a PC, there's a great mod/med player called deliplayer (www.deliplayer.com I think) that plays a lot of amiga format with excellent quality... But you must register to be able to produce a .wav from a tune ... IMHO, i find the registration cost a bit too much for something I can only evaluate after paying... Have a try.

(if you don't have a PC, ask a friend of yours 8) )

Use soundstudio - you can render to AIFF. Then use your fave mp3 encoder..

DO'h just noticed someone said that already! Well, it works anyhow. Complex stuff with lots of channels can take time render at 44.1kHz with interpolation though - be sure to set the mixing buffer to a good few kilobytes...

uade (http://ee.tut.fi/~heikki/uade.html) can do this with -outpipe option.

uade -outpipe 1 somemodule.med > somemodule.raw

The output is 44KHz 16bit stereo raw sampledata (default), or whatever is set to uaerc sound_* configuration.

Why don't use instead the amiga version of Delitracker, from which the pc version originated? I believe that with the AHI-Noteplayer it would be possible to convert any module to an aiff file. Even better, Delitracker for Amiga is free  :-)

Hmm, on my 030 the Octamed saving routines are painfully slow, I don't know if they get much faster with better cpus  :-?

You could do it the analogue way - if you have a way of recording stereo audio out onto cd you could then use a cd player program (eg OptyCDplayer on Aminet) to save out as Aiff, MP3, etc.
