I haven't seen a single topic that talked about this.

When I open the files up in windows media player, they sound fine, but when I open them in HLDJ in-game in both CS:S and L4D2, they sound atrocious. I've converted them properly, reduced the bass/volume using GoldWave, and have tried playing the samples (Which sound perfectly fine and clear for some reason). All MY files sound like shit.

Odds are that you didn't convert them properly then. See if using the built-in converter works any better. Also, for future posts: sticky.

I tried the built-in converter, but the songs wouldn't play after I did that.

After I did it the way it used to be done (dPpoweramp audio converter + goldwave) the songs actually played, but the default converter didn't do anything.

Odd. And you selected the proper engine when you were using the built-in converter? If you did, try reading the sticky (already linked above).

Ok, I figured out why they wouldn't play, but now I have a bigger problem. No matter how low I set the volume to decrease in the converter, in-game it is insanely loud and it only sounds SLIGHTLY better than before.

The song has very heavy bass, could that be why?
