 Chief Idiocy Officer | you can make it smaller through compression but it's going to look (sound) a lot crappier | 06:01:29 |
| Chief Idiocy Officer | it's just big because of the amount of data required to store and play back audio | 06:03:09 |

 _gerp | is kinda why something like flacs are so frikn big | 06:06:41 |
| Chief Idiocy Officer | FLAC is lossless, so yeah | 06:07:06 |
| Chief Idiocy Officer | it's not raw audio but it's as compressed as you can reasonably get audio without losing any quality | 06:07:26 |
| Chief Idiocy Officer | (and also without making it take forever to decode, etc. etc.) | 06:07:34 |
| _gerp | some flacs get stupidly big filesizes though | 06:10:40 |

 karmacolorcat | I have a friend who prefers FLAC over a system's original sound files, like SNES' .spc files | 14:02:02 |
| karmacolorcat | I get FLACs are great and all, but they cant be better than the original sound files, right? | 14:02:29 |
| karmacolorcat | The only instance I got FLAC audio files was when I was downloading some Wii soundtracks, for everything else, I look for the original sound files | 14:03:31 |
| _gerp | for the sake of filesize, they wouldn't go for the absolute highest quality possible, because most tracks won't be heard on their own without any interruption on high - grade things | 14:08:22 |
| Chief Idiocy Officer | Yeah SNES was very compressed in most cases | 14:12:26 |
| Chief Idiocy Officer | Look up DKC SNES aquatic ambiance vs a restoration that tries to get the original instruments uncompressed | 14:13:09 |
 idiot In-training | part of why a lot of contemporary chiptune doesn't sound "classic" is because it's too crisp. not enough compression to make it sound authentic | 14:22:11 |
| idiot In-training | Especialy 16-bit | 14:22:25 |
 anjacup14 | So retro vs really retro | 14:31:42 |
| karmacolorcat | retro vs FORCED retro | 14:32:03 |
| karmacolorcat | | 14:32:08 |
| idiot In-training | I didn't wanna be the one to say it | 14:32:11 |
| idiot In-training | I almost did tho LMAO | 14:32:17 |
| idiot In-training | | 14:32:38 |
| karmacolorcat | Yeah, but compared to what you get in the original hardware and the sound files, there really isnt any compression, is there? | 14:33:29 |
| karmacolorcat | I mean, usually when I get spc files is because I want to get the most of the SNES soundtrack, FLAC only checks audio quality, but with the original files you can do so much more and without any compression either | 14:34:43 |
