|
|
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.
Oscar. |

You could try Audacity. It's free . 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! _________________ Dennis

Could always take one of the .ogg files you have, and rename it to Tesco.ogg , load it into Audacity or Goldwave and then record yourself SCREAMING..... Save the file, and there you go!!!! _________________ XL LIVE IQ Routes (Europe)
