Sound Replacement Not Working

[Droidy365]

Hey guys, I'm trying to make a sound replacement for the Imperial Heavy Repeater, but for some reason it's completely silent. Could someone please help me with this? Thanks.

Is it a wav or mp3 file?

[Droidy365]

It's a mono *.wav file currently at 44100 Hz. The original one is a mono *.wav file at 22050 Hz, which didn't work, either. I'm using Audacity if that means anything.

Please help, guys.

Please help, guys.

it's ever difficult to make a wav with the correct samples, more of an MP3 file. i suggest you to copy the original repeaters sound files by assets, open with audacity and copy \ paste edited version into original :

example selected cointained of fire.wav custom into original fire.wav. save the original edited file without any modify about sample or format and should work.

 

so: use the original sound files, but change their contains. should works.

The problem is audacity, i've had similar problems, thats why i use a different audio converter after editing with audacity.

Try Nero Wav Editor its pretty good and is free.

Well, I tried that just now, but that didn't work...

For some reason I'm having trouble installing it... I've never had any problems with Audacity before, could it be the new version, or a setting that's screwing it up?

Okay, have you got a solution, or a suggestion? I hope you fix your saber sounds, by the way.

So Audacity not save correctly the samples of wav??? o.o

i confess i use mainly goldwave for modding sound editing

[Droidy365]

I've come up with a solution! I exported it as an MP3 in Audacity, then I converted it to a wav!

You do need to make it have only 1 channel in the Advanced Settings on that converter, by the way. Thanks for your help guys! I hope this can benefit anyone else who could be having this problem

If it had 2 channels before then it wasn't mono. That's literally what mono means: one channel. For some reason Audacity is stupid and doesn't list a file as stereo when it should. You should just go by the fact that you have 2 channels, not what it says. If you have two channels, split them both to mono and delete one. Then save as mono and all is well.

Or mux them - that's how stereo-to-mono is usually done.

I think that's what Audacity tries to do. But doesn't actually do it. Ends up doing Joint Stereo or something silly. Or basically muxes into a stereo file instead of mono.

[Droidy365]

It was already mono, but the converter converts it to stereo by default. I was saying that I had to change that in the converter's advanced settings lol.

[Circa]

Right but I was saying Audacity can do it out of the box. You just have to split the channels to mono first and delete one, if it doesn't save as true mono the first time.

I'd do it that way.
99% it won't fool you.
