Making custom sounds (how ?)

[ex81]

Hi,

I like to make custom sounds for my missions, but I can`t get the "radio sound" which sounds like IRL.

I use "from text to speech" app and then mixing a bit in Audacity.

 

Never have been satisfied with the results.

 

Has anybody some usefull hints for me.

 

Second problem is the volume. Sometimes it`s to loud in DCS, and sometimes not loud enough.

Please help.

I attach one example.

 

P.S.

Could not upload example. Donno why .

High pass filter at 300Hz.

Low pass filter at 3.0KHz.

Compression to even out the volume. Look up a video on what a compressor is and how it works, that will be easier than my trying to explain it.

A little distortion to create the tone of speaking into a headset mic. Not sure if audacity has a plugin built in for this butbIm sure you can find an amplifier simulator for guitar for free somewhere that would do the trick.

Adding radio squelch sounds to the beginning and end of the transmission and open channel noise mixed in with the voice will also help make the effect believable. There are plenty of free sound libraries out there containing audio like this.

OK, I will try out all this.
