Congrats! Even the first version, which was crappy encoded, didn't stop you from recognizing the true smell of Amiga sound! I've taken a little delay before including descriptions in the video for those who prefer to listen without any preconceived notions. They are there now, for those who are interested.

But I will answer it: this is yet another lie from you - I never did ask for your 'lossy video', which by the way self-evidently rules out any form of true comparison regarding Paula, emulated or real. |

Would you like to answer my question in post #48 which you plain ignored? Maybe you need more time to research your answer?

It might sound better to you, but it doesn't mean that it is more accurate. At some point if you up the frequency beyond what Paula natively achieves, then an emulator has no choice but to perform interpolation to attempt to approximate the sound, which will be less accurate. Unlike, say, a recording of a live orchestra there is an inherent digital aspect to the sounds Paula creates which is a function of the sample rate and bit depth. |

Just as an aside, instead of chasing the perfect sound emulation, which is already pretty good in WinUAE, it might have been better to make the sound output slightly more adjustable by implementing an EQ or injecting even more imperfections with third-party VST effects like
[ Show youtube player ]. It would be an equivalent to the Filter menu for video output. Ok, that was a bit of fantasizing there

I think a windows eq (like the excellent and free Equalizer APO) is just as good since winuae simply outputs wasapi or dsound. It would be more flexible to have it built-in winuae tho.
I mean, in an unusual scenario where you've got winuae and another program outputting sound at the same time, the built-in eq would be useful, but otherwise, it's not *really* needed. Last edited by vulture; 22 July 2023 at 10:53. |

96KHz sounds much better than 48KHz, which in turn sounds much better than 44.1KHz (which I had already stated). So I deduce from this that audio processing in WinUAE is not locked at 48KHz, but is indeed giving more accurate Paula timings, all processed at the higher rate that I had typed in (96000). My sound card can't go beyond 96KHz on this computer, so that's where I end the testing. I used the music from the game No Second Prize - the intro music or the initial opening screen music is a good test. I used the opening screen music today as it's a very busy and full sounding piece with some very fine instruments. The 44.1KHz setting is comparatively mushy, and to be honest quite ghastly when compared with the 96KHz. The difference is night and day. The choir sample on the right hand side was particularly impressive. There's increased frequency response and sweet nuances (listen to the hi-hats for one), better timing and dynamics and clarity all round for everything. It's more solid sound, and less fatigue inducing, less broken. More pleasant by far, and a more accurate mix of those four Paula channels. Thank you Toni! P.S. In WinUAE, emulated audio filter and interpolation were disabled (I don't think NSP uses the filter anyway in the music). My sound card was set to 96KHz (locked rate) throughout the testing. |
