Here's a classic fail for you:

Finished some lovely new sounds. Great sounding exhaust, giving that real spine-tinging sound when an engine is really opened up! So, I go into the game to test this all out. I used the short whistle sound, assigned to the B key - lovely. This has signalled my pull away. Having released the brakes, I crack open the regulator. Nice and easy pull away, then I wind the reverser and open up into second valve. Oooooh yes, this is sounding good!! So, it seems right and proper to blow a nice long whistle in celebration. And this is what I did. However, the sound which came out of the whistle wasn't a lovely BR Standard whistle, as it should have been. Oh no! The sound that accompanied the masses of steam coming from the whistle was a guards whistle!!! :shock: :? :lol: :oops: :roll: I just wish I was filming at the time!

Reminds me of the time I decided to take my A class for a drive, only I had forgotten one thing, I had been using it as a test bed engine for new whistles so imagine my surprise when I blew the whistle expecting the nice mellow sound of the Lancashire and Yorkshire whistle and was instead greeted with an incredibly loud banshee screech from Sir Lamiel's whistle, scared me half to death!!! :D

  • Oh dear, those sounds are silent. Let's up the base volume a bit.
  • Still silent? Whatevah. MOAR base volume.
  • Nothing. Dust of textbook and read about how decibels work.
  • ...
  • Open volume mixer in windows.
  • ...ahhhhhh
