I can’t upload any attachments since i’m a new user, but the question is if anyone knows what all those numbers mean. Those granular grains are from GTA V, specifically from a car sound, i have searched everywhere about what all those numbers do and never find anything. Sorry if my english are not good, it’s not my native language. Here is the example numbers:

I can’t tell you much without the column headings, but granular sampling is when a sound is broken up in thousands of tiny snippets, called grains.
You can process these separately, and change any of their features including length, pitch, etc.
So, this is a data table of a granularly sampled audio source. But that’s about it.
I assume you aren’t supposed to deal with them yourself, individually, typically the whole lot would be loaded into a sample player, and processed that way.
If they are taken from an engine sound, then you could squeeze and stretch that engine sound in all sorts of ways.
Thank you for the explanation. Yeah the sound is from an engine sound, i don’t want to change anything on them. I just want to know what each number value means and does. what do you mean about the column headings? they start with <GranularGrains
Like I say, you’re seeing the raw data. So, among others things, this data will be things like time and amplitude.
When you mentioned about column headings, what exactly did you mean? because when i find this, they start with <Granular Grains
Ok, so it’s not really supposed to be read by ‘end users’ ( I’m guessing ).
Oh, no, it starts with <GranularGrains and when the numbers ends, and thenit closes with </GranularGrains
Ok, then it’s XML. It’s just a way of noting down data.
Yeah. Those sounds can be opened with CodeWalker, a program for modding GTA V, it has the ability to export sounds into xml and inside it has all the data, like the granular data, and of course the sounds. I have seen some other games that are granular too and the source was the same. (the granular grains) just the numbers change on each sound.
I wanted to make sure something. Is it time and amplitude or time and amplitude scaling?
Who knows, not me I’m afraid…
Thank you for your help however:)
