Whoops. Seems I forgot about the Luxor. Managed to alter my voice very Vasudan like... Will be done ASAP.

EDIT: All right, they're recorded. I'm just making them vasudan like. You should have all of Luxor plus all of Part5 within the next few days if nothing comes up.

Any word on the other lines I requested?

EDIT 2: And, I'm sorry Blaise, but I REALLY don't want to do more Vasudan lines. Having to add the untranslated Vasudan dialog and fiddle around with mechanize and pitch and echo is rather time consuming. The Luxor was enough of them for me...

EDIT 3: Forty Luxor VA sections to go. I'll have them sent on Friday, Australian time. Blaise, just so I don't waste my time doing this (if Luxor isn't up to your standard) I've sent one of the Luxor files to your email to see if you think it's good enough.

[Azrael15]

Sorry for this third post. Blaise, do not worry about that sample in your email. I've found a much easier way to do a Vasudan sounding voice, one that is also much easier to hear and understand.

The directions are as so:
Open Goldwave
New
Record what you want
Resample - Rate 11025 Hz
Effects - Mechanize... - Quality 60
Effects - Dynamics... - Preset "Soft clip"

(Tested with a mono recording)

Then you add the Vasudan backing to it. It sounds good but not as clear as I would like... it IS understandable though.

EDIT: Should have asked this earlier, for Luxor, you want me to do the mechanization and everything, right? And add the vasudan voice to the background? Or are you wanting to do that?

EDIT2: See, I will do the other Vasudans if someone else is willing to Vasudanize them. I'm going to go insane if I have to do anymore or even if I have to do the ones I have. I need to know if I'm doing the Vasudanization or if someone else is, I've got the day off tomorrow so, I'd just like to know ASAP.

I'd rather not do it, if I have any say in the matter.

This also will either allow me to send the .rar file immediatly, or, after recording the other Vasudans OR requiring a longer time to Vasudanize everything...

I mean, it takes several hours to do 21 lines and Vasudanize them. The Luxor has 61 lines, IIRC. And, as much as I love voice acting, this Vasudanization is driving me up the wall. Currently all voices have not been altered, I'm waiting to see the response to these posts.

[Blaise Russel]

Azrael15 (and everyone else) - don't worry about processing the lines. I will do all Vasudanising and all radio-chattering - you don't have to worry about a thing.

[Azrael15]

Blaise. All lines recorded. Sending now.

EDIT: Big problem! My derelict VA .rar archive is 110mb!!!

That is on 'best' compression! That'd murder by 56k connection if I tried to upload it!!! I'll try .raring every group of lines and then .rar them in one big archive.

EDIT: On another note, I have 270 files in that folder. Total size is just over 1gb. Grrrrr...

I'm seperating the huge folder into 10mb .rar archives. That should allow for me to upload them...

EDIT OK. Maybe not... this is frustrating.

EDIT: Wait! I can autotrim the files and make them much smaller. I had like a minute of silence on each file. This will make them much smaller in size!

[Azrael15]

Right, there HAS to be an easier was of transferring files! It's taking forever in uploading them to email. Out of 17 .rar files, in two hours, I have only uploaded one.

Blaise, please tell me you have mIRC... or MSN. It'd make this SO much easier...

EDIT: I'll be able to send all except the Luxor via email. I'll not send the Luxor as a single archive, I'll send it's samples in small groups. Uploading 48mb to email is kind of impossible for my 56k...

[Blaise Russel]

I do have mIRC, and MSN, and I also have space on Sectorgame so if you have Filezilla or some other FTP program, you can upload the stuff to Sectorgame and I'll download the .rar files afterwards.

Tell me what's best for you, and we'll sort something out.

[Martinus]

[color=66ff00]You guys doing the uploading on 56K could simply burn the stuff to CD and mail it to Blaise.

So this is a very long thread and I'm lazy. Someone sum this thread up for me. How is adding voice acting to Derelict progressing? Will the voice acting version of Derelict be making use of the improved rerelease version of the campaign as shown in the thread, what 5 down in the forum list from here?

[Mongoose]

As far as I know, the voiceacting is progressing pretty well.  Several of the voiceactors (myself included ) have already completely finished and submitted their parts; the rest are hard at work on them.  And yes, this voiceacting release is in conjunction with Blaise's improved version of the campaign.  His initial release still had a few bugs with it, but they'll all be cleared up in the final version.

[MatthewPapa]

I know you guys are waiting on me (and 2 others I believe) but just be patient. I will be done soon.

[Nix]

Sorry I've fallen off the radar lately, I have to thank qwest for NOT hooking up my phone yet.   I will try to get these lines done asap, though it might take a while before i can get them done.  School  has started again and Ive been pretty busy.  I'm posting this from my statistics class...

4 day weekend.... "And lo he VA'ed on the 4th day..." - (The FS Modder's Bible, extended version)

[Azrael15]

All VA files sent.

[Darkblade]

So, who is still unfinished?

[Nix]

LOL - the day I wrote my message above on the 2nd...  later that day I started feeling under the weather, lo and behold, I've gotten a pretty nasty head cold, so it'll probably be a week or so till I could even think about recording my voice.  I have the lines though and I'll get them to you the moment I stop sounding like Lance Henricksen.  I should be able to whip them out one afternoon no problem, since I'm back at school again i've got way faster internet access now too.

 Lance = Frank Black.  Not the singer, mind you...

[Cooked Salmon]

So, how's this project progressing?

[Cobra]

my schoolwork has been interfering, but i might be able to finish my part either tonight and/or tomorrow.

(jesus, it took longer than it should have. >_<)

[Turambar]

can i help?

i got a decent mic for once, just give me some lines and point me to a program that can record from the mic and i'll send a demo your way

i can do accents and voices too

[Nix]

Turambar, If you dont mind basic,
audacity.sourceforge.net
Though I've used Sound Forge 6 forever, I need to upgrade to 8.  I'm also waiting to finish my lines when my new X-Fi card comes in.  My current audigy makes annoying pops and craclkes whenever I try to record.  Might have to break out the old box again.

[Cobra]

god dammit, just when i'm about to finish my VA'ing i come down with a cold. Once again, it's delayed.
