Music should be Stereo

Post by Aleksi »

Hello,

I recently discovered that Wesnoth is using mono music... is it due to save space? Hum... mono was fine... Thirty years ago! Mono effect makes it very distant and quite compressed. Any way to go towards stereo?

Cheers,

Aleksi.

I'm not against having things stereo, but if it's really so bad, why did it take you so long to notice that Wesnoth is Mono?
Feel free to PM me if you start a new terrain oriented thread. It's easy for me to miss them among all the other art threads.

The thing is that i usually test my music with the game, and i cut the in-game music and have mine in the background played by Cubase. Thats also why i never really noticed the mono settings.

As one of my first projects as a Wesnoth developer, I'm going to code support for stereo music. ...as soon as I figure out how. :wink:

Could somebody make me a .ogg that has a sound panned hard to the left, hard to the right, and centered? I need something like that for testing.
