Hi
Having mastered (hopefully) the 3D model builds and blueprints to get some decent looking locos out, I have the need to delve into the black arts of Loco Sounds!!!
I have aliased sounds before and even analysed and built up my own versions of existing sound file sets so feel I am reasonably comfortable with the basics of what goes where .
However, what I am looking for now is the advice and guidance of starting from scratch.
I have a sound recording of the steam loco from rest to speed so some basic questions are:-
How should I split the file up into the necessary sections that build the Chuffs?
There seems to be a general 6 x 4 WAV files for each Chuff build - is this normal and how should the WAVs vary from each other?
Are the curves critical and how about the Modifiers, in getting the blueprints to finally sound like the prototype??
Am sure there are loads of other questions but any help in starting off would be great!!
Thanks
Steve
