Well presented, clear and straight to the point smiley Good stuff Forceflow, and extra kudos for covering an area that's usually neglected or little is known about.

I was under the impression that you also needed to set up cue points for the .wav file so that it can loop properly. Almost every other custom sound tutorial I've seen states this quite implicitly. But maybe Audacity does it automagically, or it actually isn't neccesary? Still, something worth investigating. Nice presentation anyways.

You need start cues to have a looped sound, yes.

-Busy working on my map -- I'll try this trick out tomorrow on 1:43 minute DOOM song, and see if works smiley

Ok, i don't have gollum here to authenticate this but, the song i put into my map double_trouble was not cued.. and gollums prefab looped it just fine..

course it is entirely possible that the song had cue points already before i changed it to a wav file.. it was a midi file format prior to my getting it though, so you guys decide.

BTW my stupid ass figured out how to make music play so maybe i lucked into it smiley

Excellent ForeFlow! Glad to see a tutorial that gives us mappers the ability to make legit HL sound files!

Extra note: Force, I do however, know of a way to make HL sound files, without losing quality (a,la, music clip) like making a 24 bit sound 8 bit, but losing very very little quality -- almost sounds exactly the same. Should I write a tut, or do you want to add it to your tutorial? (Not trying to steal your thunder smiley )

This way, you're not losing much quality either ... but I would like to hear your way too ...

If it's OK for you: send it to me in a PM (a text which is already formatted ... titles, colors, bla bla) and I'll add it to my tut as a note ... ok ? I think it's bettter to have just one tutorial about making HL sounds, instead of 2 or 3 methods ... could be confusing.

The amount of 'hz' is the sample rate for audio. It's how many times you got input bytes on your sound channel. Digital sound never is continuous, you know.
