Does anyone else's audio submissions do this?

Posted by i9incher - June 13th, 2022


Ok, so I have had this happen consistently when I upload to the audio portal.


I'll upload the audio, and the wave form will come out looking fine like this:

But then after going live a few minutes later, it will get squared out and look like this:

So I have reuploaded the audio. And if I leave it in preview it still stays like the first example. But then, as soon as a I publish, 5 or so minutes later it will change to the square compressed version.


Is this something Newgrounds is doing to the audio file?

I Guess it's the ng compresor, thst kind of things happens to make the audio sound louder, ir doesnt afecct so much, so don't worry Uwu

Yes it is. It's the NG compressor.

Nothing's being done to the file itself, MP3 playback is 1:1 between the player and the original file. It's just the player itself mapping out the visual waveform more accurately over a couple of minutes of a piece being uploaded. There's no 'NG Compressor' (no idea where the other two got the idea from), and no other types of encoding sequences going on which would alter the MP3 file itself.

yeah, that always happens. it never mattered though.

Nothing to do with compression of the sound (download the audio file and put it into your DAW and compare it with your original, it should be the same.)

We don't do anything to the MP3 files you upload (other than maybe modify the ID3 tags, can't remember offhand).

When you initially upload, the waveform image is generated dynamically in your browser, but there's another process that happens in the background that creates images that eventually replace that. Looks like that's a bit more aggressive with the peaks and troughs.
