Jan Steele Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Is it possible to bounce to ogg format? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 No! But you can use something like XLD to batch convert your PCM bounces to Ogg, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Steele Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Ok I downloaded XLD. I dragged the app to the Applications folder, but there's still a whole load of files which were in the .zip file. Do I have to do anything with those?

michl Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 just create a folder for everything and keep them together with XLD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Steele Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 I tried XLD but couldn't figure out how to make it work. No GUI ever appeared so I wondered if maybe this can only be operated from the Terminal - which is beyond me at present. But I found Sox Wrap, which was really easy to understand and it worked! http://www.waveformsoftware.com/waveform/sox_wrap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I tried XLD but couldn't figure out how to make it work. Open up the preferences. Choose how you want to convert the files. Drag and drop your original files over the icon in the dock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 just curious: what's the point of ogg files? i know exactly zero people who use that format. will an ogg file play on an mp3 player? in iTunes? again, just wondering...

It's royalty and patent free. But it's not nearly as universal as MP3; if you actually want a good chance that any given person will be able to play it, MP3 is really your only choice (besides uncompressed WAV, I guess).

Rev. Juda Sleaze Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 A fair few computer games use .ogg as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 i don't really get it. unless it's something specific (i.e. a REQUIREMENT from, say, a videogame maker), mp3's just seem more universal. i've NEVER had a problem with them (on web sites, in email, on my iPhone, etc...). still, whatever works.

Jan Steele Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 It wasn't clear to me either. But I have had an issue recently where I emailed a link to a page of my site with clips from a recent CD to people I knew who I thought would be interested - and contacts in Slovakia and Hungary couldn't download them. Of course I don't know what system or browser they were using. Also I've had a probelm where a new version of Mozilla Firefox wouldn't download mp3's from my own site, and the solution there was to switch from 62-bit to 32-bit mode!!! The XHTML5 spec apparently includes .ogg, mp3 and wav, and .ogg is the preferred format for Firefox so it seems a good idea to cover all bases.

Bradati Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hi! Greetings from a fairly new Logic user and a brand new forum member I work in video game production, and there are occasions where background audio has to be perfectly looped. Mp3 is not good for this; for some reason it adds a small pause each time the track is started from beginning. Ogg doesn't have this issue and it loops perfectly, so there, that's one possible reason why a person would use it Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has better compression and sound quality than mp3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
