Voice Recordings

[Menessis]

Has anyone tried using one of the "text to wav" utilities for our missions? If so which ones are better?

 

Thanks

I have heard samples of all that I have seen available on the web and IMO they all sound like what they are....computer generated. For me they would reduce immersion rather than enhance it.

That. In my campaign I used text-to-speech program with lets say reasonable outcome, but really far from perfect. Currently I am redoing the whole thing with real voice actors, the final effect and immersion is incomparable.

 

Still, if you want to give it a try, you could use the following websites:

What voice altering programs are recommended for making the recordings sound like you are talking on a radio? Would like to make recordings for making JTAC communications like I have heard in some other missions made.

This is what I do. I use http://www.ivona.com/en/ and I record the output from the speakers using the mic on my headset.

 

Then I use Sound Forge to:

 

 

• 
  
• Normalise RMS to -6dB
  
• Distortion Transistor 1
  
• Reverb Plate - Decay Time = 0.5
  
• Parametric Eq, 2KHz x 0.7oct, Amount = -60dB. Adjust output gain to give -3dB signal.
  
• Normalise RMS to -3dB
  
• Volume to -3dB
