Hey all,

It came to my attention that I could utilize my radio equipment to generate some killer ISDF voices. Using my scanner and a few UHF radios that I have, I can broadcast my voice and the scanner will pick it up. However, the scanner will put its own brand of sound on it, including the cool sounding static at the beginning and end of the transmission.

How I intend on accomplishing this is by connecting the scanner up to my computer via line in, and enhancing all received audio using Audacity (this would include audio editing that could add to specific events, such as loss of transmission, just add a little white noise) The scanner is an older analog scanner, so the audio quality will be top notch.

In addition, some friends and I will be conducting the voice acting, so it will not sound so monotone depending on if the mod will require more than one voice actor. I will have about 4 different people local. But if someone else out there wants to throw their voice at me, you can do so, and I will edit it for you so you can sound just like an ISDF unit.

Anyways, just saying. This might be a good way to make a BZII story interesting.

Having used it myself only recently, I can safely say that Audacity is horrible.

Its not too bad, i prefer to record with Audacity than i do goldwave, but goldwave has a lot less plug-ins and things. They are two very different things though...

They are, but I had to use it for a job recently and it cocked it up.

Well, it is a bit cheap, but it is the best program I could find that could generate tones ranging from sine wave to triangle. Audacity struck me as good because it was open source. I am trying to find a way I could give samples of what my projects sound like. Maybe I will host a few .wav or .mp3 files on my FTP server, so you all can find out if you like it or not. I just need to wait for some of my friends to come over and help out with this, I do not want it to be all one voice, it would be boring.
