How to Convert MP3 and WAV Audio for HLDJ

A quick tutorial on converting audio for Half Life DJ (HLDJ). In this video I will show you how to change MP3, WAV and other audio files so that you can play them on many source servers such as Counter Strike and Team Fortress 2.

The program I used is called Audacity and is a free download from this site: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

You can download HLDJ from here:

Post a comment if you have any further questions and don't forget to like the video.
Enjoy!

Just wanted to say thank you for making a very clear, easy to understand video. I've been having problems with playing most of my files though - when I hit the playback button (F1), the ! shows but no one hears anything. Sometimes when I turn off the sounds, my playername lights up for a 1/10th of a second and turns off again.

Testing sample files from the hldj website work fine. I even had my brother send me a file of his that worked, and it was fine. My own files don't though. Any ideas why?

@Swampertdude56 I'm glad you liked the vid, unfortunately i havent used this program in a very long time so im not too sure why that would be happening. it may be a problem with the file type, make sure you are using .mp3 and converting them to .wav but other than that im not really sure sorry.

they are so simple and easy :D

Iev been have the problem of the sound comming out like shitt earther too slow or just realy bad fuzz any clue on fixing that? btw its for L4d2 so idk if its got a different setting or whet.

@Tinak00777 L4D2 has a source engine so make sure you use 11025 Hz. If that still gives you problems try using other songs, some react badly to the conversion.

I'm converting it right, it sounds normal in my audio player, but when I try to play it in-game, I get this weird, low-pitched "bwooo bwooo bwoooo" sound. What could be wrong?

Tried this, didn't work. does have to be a certain length? cause i chose the inception "bwoooong" sound.

@Corrderio ya I know it works in some servers and then when I play it, the audio itself is okay but sounds muffled and when other people play there's the audio sounds clear so I don't know if Audacity is the best source to use and edit stuff in all honesty..

[Corrderio]

@LazyNightz I'm having the same problem. When I listen to the WAV in WMP it works pretty well, but when I play it in TF2 it's kinda "grainy"

[LazyNightz]

How do you get HD audio for in game because the audio i have always sound like crap..
