How do you make your own Ogg Vorbis Audio Files ?

Hi,

New to this forum, but wonder if anyone could tell me the best method of recording your own sound files to work through TT. I have tried using software such as 'Sound Forge'; which gives the option to save as an Ogg. Problem is that the file will not play fully on the TT unit because, I assume it becomes to big, most of the sounds like Liz Whitaker etc are around 28kbs, even short ones that I save end up at 90 - 110 kbs.

Any tips or thoughts would be appreciated. Shocked

Oscar.

You could try Audacity. It's free Very Happy

. Google is your friend.
You have to 'Export' from it, not 'Save As'

In Audacity, there are several locations for quality settings.
Edit / Preferences / Quality allows you to set the default bit depth and sample rate
and
Edit / Preferences / File formats has a slider to set the "ogg qualty" Mine is left at the default of "5" (midway).

I have a full set of ogg files that I made up some time ago for the Speed Zoned Complete

Can be downloaded HERE

Think there are 3 files not used any more.

But just extract them ALL to your default TT map folder.

Voices says:

check speed, gatso ahead, 20 miles per hour
check speed, gatso ahead, 30 miles per hour
check speed, gatso ahead, 40 miles per hour

etc

I recorded a couple using Audacity and a microphone (Andy_P told me how, you need to get the settings right - just mono and the right number of Hzs). So I now have grandchildren shouting "Wake up Dennis, Speed camera ahead". They're not a lot of good so far as professional quality is concerned - have you ever tried getting youngsters to do anything like that properly? Nightmare. But Vera loves them, so they're staying!

Thanks for the offer Pocketgps, I have some .ogg warnings from this site that I use; just wanted to make up some fun ones of my own to use for POI like Pubs, Food, and Tesco Supermarkets to make sure my wife does not take a credit card in store ! Rolling Eyes

Thanks for the help..... Cheers!
