Fallout 4 Custom Replaced Sounds Too low on Volume

[AIraqLobster]

Hi All,

I am in a Bit of Trouble and losing Hair here.

I downloaded a Weapon Sound from Youtube A 10mm pistol Sound That i Wanted to Replace now The Sound I downloaded Was already a bit Low Volume So it order to make it Strong and put a Heavy Feeling in it I decided to open it up in Audacity and Amplify it and also add a Brass.

All Done

Now I placed This Sound into Data/Sound/Fx/WPN/pistol10mm/WPN_Pistol10mm_Fire_2D.wav

And Did edits to my .ini file just in case.

 

Problem It works but is hardly Hearable What do i do? I already Amplified it but it is still not hearable in game where as it sounds OK when i play it externally from Data folder.

Have you tried to change the settings of the SNDR file in the CK? You can adjust some things like distance and static attenuation there. Both can affect the volume.

There's certainly going to be the factors kitcat81 discussed, one thing that helped me was to extract the pre-existing sound files and see where they are volume wise. I know the music tracks aren't as loud as you might think, they seem to peak at about -12dbfs, that really helped me getting the volume right for custom music tracks. Of course there's a lot less dynamic attenuation etc... happening on the music but it might point you in the right direction!

Weapon sounds have multiple variants and layers, ie for NPC, 1th person etc

Fixed it! YaY

I Followed This simple Tutorial and Didn't Touch CK.

So, What i did is Just Download wavosaur as described in Video Since The Downloaded Sound was too low I Normalized The Volume Using Wavosaur instead of Audacity and I did not Export it just Saved over. ( The Exporting seems to have caused the Problem On my End but Some people Find Exporting Solves No Sound problem but in my Case Exported Audio was the Problem)

 

Here is the Result:

Could I have the sound? I watched the first few seconds of the video and It sounded good.
