Previously uploaded songs to my youtube studio sounded fine. Last two very harsh sounding. - 03/05/24 12:57 AM
My previously uploaded rendered files to my YouTube studio were done using BIAB 2020 and sounded normal on playback. The last two, done since I started using BIAB 2024, build 1109, were very harsh and unrealistic sounding. I asked ChatPG about this and got this unbelievable (for me - I am a dummy) answer:
To improve the sound quality of your rendered AVI files for YouTube, you can try the following:
1. **Audio Quality Settings**: Ensure that you have selected the highest quality audio settings when rendering the AVI file. This can include using the highest quality tempo stretching and ensuring that individual tracks are normalized for optimal audio levels.
2. **Reverb and Tone**: Consider adjusting the reverb and tone settings for each track to achieve a more balanced and pleasant sound. You can experiment with different levels of reverb and tone to find the right balance for your songs.
3. **Delay at Start**: Adding a slight delay at the start of the audio file can sometimes help in creating a smoother playback experience. Experiment with adding a small delay to see if it improves the overall sound quality.
4. **Codec Selection**: When rendering the video, select a specific codec that is known for producing high-quality audio. Experiment with different codecs to find the one that works best for your songs.
5. **ACID Info**: If you are rendering to a WAV audio file, consider including ACID information such as tempo, key, and time signature. This can help ensure compatibility with various playback platforms, including YouTube.
6. **Check Mixer Settings**: Ensure that the mixer settings for each track are optimized for the best audio quality. This includes volume, pan, reverb, and tone settings.
By adjusting these settings and experimenting with different options, you may be able to improve the sound quality of your rendered AVI files for YouTube playback.
If you need more specific guidance on how to adjust these settings within Band-in-a-Box, you can refer to the relevant chapters in the Band-in-a-Box user manual for detailed instructions.
If you need further assistance, feel free to ask for more specific details or guidance.
I could just as easily construct an atomic bomb. All of the settings, to my limited knowledge, are the way they were on BIAB 2020 or the way BIAB 2024 was delivered. I have had several problems, unresolved as yet, since installing BIAB 2024.
Any help at all will be very much appreciated. Please, keep it simple.
