MLeonhardt Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) I'm trying to get the resources together to make a Megas XLR sound replacer mod for Power Armor, much in the same manner as the "Real Robot Sound" mod does with the Gundam effects. Thing is, most internet videos are low quality, and I'd prefer not having to pirate the show (Despite it legally not being allowed to be aired ever again) in order to gather the necessary sound effects. There's also the matter of background noise like dialogue and bgm over the sounds. Fortunately, Megas uses a lot of "stock" sound effects, so there's a good chance one could find a better source in an online library than the actual show itself. Basically what I'm looking for is to replace the standard PA sounds with engine revving and car noises and replace gun/laser/explosion sounds with the more cartoony versions like in the show while wearing PA. What I actually need help with is finding the best method to go about ripping or acquiring the needed audio.

SMB92 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Theres an online youtube to mp3 converter, but I'm not sure the legal implications of that with the youtube videos. Maybe you already know that, but thought I'd give it a mention. My brother uses Adobe AfterEffects to extract sound from one thing to place in some videos he makes but no idea on that myself.

Yeah wasn't planning on using youtube videos if I had any other option. Can AfterEffects take processed audio and then dissect it down to the individual tracks? I'm pretty sure at this point I'd be better off trying to find the sound effect libraries they used for the show than actually trying to rip them from the show itself and have to do all the extra work.

I'm sure there'd be some audio pro on this board who might know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted15964729User Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Use audacity. Set it to waspi mode then set mic to your sound output (ie speakers). That way you can easily control both output format and make changes before mixing it properly. EDIT: If you are looking for legit audio I'd recommend grabbing this: http://www.sonniss.com/gameaudiogdc2017/ You can even use it for commercial projects should you like. GDC/Sonniss has released such a bundle for free 2014, 2015 and 2016 which you should be able to find if you google a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
