New, and realer bike sound

[Ashes]

sound1> 100
sound2> 300
sound3>500
sound4>700
sound5>900
sound6>1100
sound7>1300
sound8>1500
sound9>1700
sound10 2000 + RPM

If anyone has recordings like this - please send them to me - I'm working on a little proof of concept here.
I tried it out with 3 sounds throught the rev range, and 1 for "off the gas", but the gaps where too big.

In a short time i'll have my new bike suzuki rm 125 2001
I can fit a rev counter to it and tape it

For those that are interested.
I wrote this program for fun - wanted to see how well the cross fading approach would work.
Now I didn't spend too much time making sure that the sound clips I cut where great etc, BUT - unless there's somming drasticly wrong with how I'm doing this, I don't think a plain cross fade is the answer.

You can downlod the file & unzip to your machine (windows - needs .net framework 2.0) - I've included the sounds I made also, but you can slot your own in to.

Sounds pretty rubbish I think.

Oh - if anyone actually tries this & finds some sounds that work - pass them over - I'd like to give it a shot.

Program crashes straight away for me. And yeah, I have .net framework 2.0

Sounds like your clips aren't very loop friendly, might work better if you try to make each clip more consistent as in the start and end sounding the same so it comes out as a constant sound. At the moment it's too obvious that they're looped. Any way you could change the pitch a little as it fades across too? Might make the transition sound smoother.

I like your thinking though...nice work.

[DJ99X]

Ok, so its working for someone. I wonder what my problem is

[Ashes]

Don't worry Dj - sure your problems have nothing to do with program not working

Recompiled in debug mode - not sure it'll make any difference, but it's worth a shot...

Yeah, I also thought of tryna get the pitch / tempo (not sure if that's the right word) to change as the sounds "blend" into eachother, but then I thought you'd need to be pretty scientific about the whole thing (so that you didn't speed up too much before the next clip starts playing etc)

I agree completely re the sounds btw - I wanted longer loops, but the sound clip I have doesn't keep the revs at a constant position, so the looping is horrible.
You can give it a shot tho (please)

Nah no different. I'll blame it on Windows 7 64 Bit

Ah ok - last try - compiled x64

doesn't work for me either. got all .NET versions.

and btw.. you dont need half the files in that folder and there should be no difference between debug and release versions, since the code is the same.

I Was playing abit with the SoundSim program , this was the best sound i could put on it.


btw, i need a new spark plug

here it is:

Same here.

Long time no see Lisbon . That actually sounds pretty good, after the rev there is a click sound or something that makes it obvious it's looped. If that was taken out it would sound more realistic. If the "panic rev" played a little faster that would sound better too. Not sure if you can change that in the program though.

can't save it as a wav. file, just recording with the basic windows soundrecorder, maybe some could tel me were i should record my sound with.

Thanks for sharing - I actually think your version came out quite well.

function GeekTalk()
{
WRT the crashes - i think it might have to do with the sound library I used (to be able to overlay the sounds)

And the difference between debug and release, I am well aware of Hence me not including the .vshost & .pdb files in the first version.
Also realease is compiled different to debug, so although my code is the same, the exe is quite different, and the error message might've been able to point to a specific area of the code.
