SlowMotion Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 I recently converted some new Scipio sounds from MP3 to WAV and they sounded exactly like you described. When trying those slow WAVs in WinAmp I noticed that the kbps field displayed some really small number, 14H I think. Normally that number is much higher. Maybe I did something wrong in conversion, but when I did the conversion using another program, WAVs sounded ok and that kbps also had normal value.

Commissar Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 I too had a similar problem but instead of slow sounds, all of the converted MP3s were speeded up. It literally sounded like the Chipmunks at war. Hearing Alvin get stabbed is quite funny. I solved this by either using the Freeware converter at WarfareHQ or using the current version of Music Matchbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 I used the converter at WarfareHQ with no problem. The Sounds Of Death are great IMO! Thanks Scipio! Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 Okay, the problem is simple. CM needs a specific format for the wav files: 16bit-signed mono with a sample rate of 44100Hz The tool I post at WarfareHQ converts them automatical back into this format. Other converters don't do so, as it seems. It's possible that you can enforce a conversion into the needed format by preference settings. Depends on the program. But I recomment that you use the program I offer, if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 Why doesn't someone offer the modified files as wavs for download instead of putting the unmodified ones up? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My latest update has something about 4 MB uncompressed. It has been downloaded for 220 times in the last days. That's already nearly 1 GB traffic, for only one file in 5 days! Further questions?

Michael Dorosh Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 Bump - come on Scipio you know those guys deserve credit, so don't be shy. Were they members of the forum, per chance? Their voices really add a lot to the game and we should thank them personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 Michael, why do I have the feeling that you try an evasion tactic to stab me from behind? Amidst_Void, you can download them at WarfareHQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 <blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Scipio: Michael, why do I have the feeling that you try an evasion tactic to stab me from behind? <hr></blockquote> No stab intended, I am genuinely interested in these well done mods and would like to see the persons involved in creating them get their proper due. It's nothing less than you've demanded, right? It's a simple question Scipio - you've obviously devoted a lot of time to making these sound mods from scratch; I'm just interested in knowing how the work was done - might be interesting for guys like MikeT who are putting together sound mods of their own, to be able to do the same sort of thing. Did you record them in an actual sound studio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 Actually Scipio, I have tried doing some simple sound recordings, but the software that comes with Windows really isn't up to snuff. Can you recommend a good sound editing program that also allows you to record voices the way you did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 Scipio, the decoder refuses to run on my W2K machine. What do I do now. There's some nice sounds in that latest update. I'd like to use them. Know of any other programs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sitzkrieg Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 Juju, Try dbPowerAmp. You can get it at download.com Just search for dbPowerAmp. It's freeware and works on both Win9x and Windows 2000. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
