Text to wav files - make it sound human voice?

Hi, I have a program called text to wav, it lets you type in whatever you want to say (I'm doing this for a movie I'm puttiing together, creating voices for the "actors" b/c my actors aren't real people, they're to be human models created in 3DS max) in a text field (you have your pick of which voice to use, MS mike voice, MS sam voice, or MS mary voice), then you can save it as a wav file.
Ok, i did this, and I've loaded it into audition (my version of audition is from adobe CS 2 suite) and I'm using the Adobe Audition classroom in a book for this version of audition to attempt to make this voice sound human, that is, more like a human's voice would sound, and so far, I think I'm getting the results I want in this wav file, but I'd like to upload it to this post so you guys can take a look at this file.
how do I upload a wav file to adobe forums so I can receive help with it?
i see the video upload link, i tried this, but it says to upload as a youtube file, and at this point i'm not too confortable with putting any of the audio files (created from text to wav) or video animation files (created from 3ds max) out on youtube/the internet yet, since my movie is not yet finished/burned on dvd for distribution at this time, so how do i do this so I can receive help with this audio file?
my laptop is a dell xps m1530 running xp home sp3, 4 gigs ram, 1 TB hdd,
thanks in advance.

Ha Ha!
You seriously think that Adobe would let you post an audio file on its audio software forum?
Yeah, well we did too. Unfortunately the people who run the forum software don't seem to understand that (or a lot else that we've asked about), so you simply can't do it.
Get a Dropbox basic account, put your file in the dropbox folder on your computer, right-click on it and find the public link, copy it and post that to the forum. The reason that I'm suggesting Dropbox specifically is that you just get a link to a file, and not to a load of download garbage that you get with other providers, which is a right PITA.

  • How do I open a Quicktime created wav file in other sound editing software?

    A friend sent me three wav files created in QuickTime but they won't open in ANY sound editing software or players I have other than Quicktime. I need to use these for an upcoming podcast but can't do anything with them until I can open them with my editing software (WavPad Sound Editing).
    Can someone please tell me how to do this?

    On a Windows system you can't. There is a plugin codec for WMV for the Mac version of QuickTime, but not for Windows. You'll need to use other software.

  • WAV file does not sound as good as project files

    Hello,
    I am a new MAC user. So I am still trying to get the hang of things: )
    I am using Soundtrack Pro 2 to master a CD. The original CD has problems - some noise, low levels, EQ issues.
    I began by opening a new audio project and bringing in one track(song)at a time.
    The tracks are 2 channel stereo.
    With help from many of the program tools, I have managed to create a better overall quality of sound.
    My problem seems to be when I go to save the finished mix to a WAV file - the saved file does not have the same "punch" or even volume level that the working project file has. and in some cases sounds worse.
    I have also noticed that just by opening a new audio file project the "export" option is grayed out thus I must save a "copy of"
    Again since I am new to using the MAC I may be missing something.
    Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    acreations

    OK - how about this:
    What would be the best format to save the project file as - getting the closest match of sound quality?

  • Hi, Im having trouble with my Iphones sounds, it wont let me listen to music, watch videos, notify me if i get a text, basically everything that makes a sound is no longer working. The volume level you get when you play music isnt there, HELP?!

    Hi, basically i have no sound at all on my Iphone, it doent notify me when i get a text, when someone rings, when i play music or watch videos, the volume slider that is usually present while watching videos or listening to music is no longer there at all, ive turned my phone on and off a couple of times now ive put headphones in and out to see if i had a sticky jack but still no luck Someone help??

    And to clarify, these are all iTunes movie and music downloads, so there should not be a compatability issue. And no, the iPod did not come damaged from Apple, it was a hand-me-down from a friend who busted the internal speaker. But it's never done anything like this before. It just had crappy sound. And yes, the timing of the movies and music having issues is the same as the speaker dying. And no, this has NOTHING To do with music videos. I don't have any on any of our devices.

  • Success writing .wav files in GSM format with tritonus

    Hello,
    I have to tell the people that after some weeks fighting against .wav files and tritonus GSM converter, I have success!!!. I just record a PCM .wav file, then compress it in GSM in another .wav file(being this ten times smaller than PCM) and at last I decode it in a PCM .wav file. It sound very nice. I've been asking in everyplace about this but nobody knew it.
    Now my objetive is to make the same with ADPCM.
    Now I have prevailed.
    If someone need the code, write me to [email protected]

    Some have had good luck with the App called "Remote Wave" ... free in Market.  Install it and associate .wav files to it and that should address the issue.
    Good luck.

  • Mixing external wave file into video

    I've recorded a video including sound of a mandolin being played.  At the same time I recorded the sound with my external recorder which resulted in a wave file of better quality that the sound from the camera.  I would like to import the video and the externally recorded wave file into a project, line up the external wave file with the sound recorded by the video camera and then delete the sound recorded with the video camera so I end up with a video that has the sound from the external recording system.  Any recommendations on a good approach to accomplishing this task?

    There's information here about how to use the new merged clips features in Premiere Pro CS5.5 to merge the audio from an external source with the video from the camera.

  • FINDING, TIME STAMPING, AND SAVING SELECTED PORTIONS OF WAV FILE

    Hello Everyone,
    LV 6.1
    What I'm trying to do is build an app that
    captures, timestamps and saves peaks only in a *.wav file from the sound card.
    Specifically, dog barking.  My dream would be that I have a constant input
    from a mike into the sound card which LV will real time analyze. When a threshold is triggered
    (a dog bark) the app will save the bark only with a time stamp.  My case against
    my neighbors would be better exemplified is I were able to present them with a
    time-of-day graph with tic marks at each bark and a cd they could listen to of
    the barks only.
    Explorations so far:
      The sound VI's don't have time stamp outputs
      I have searched the knowledge base and found a few apps but came to a dead end with my knowledge
      I have experimented with various waveform analysis vi's but can't find the combo that gives me what I'm looking for
    I can handle the post processing of graphs / spreadsheets but the waveform analysis for capturing the bark is eluding me. If someone could just get me started I could run with it but so far I ain't smart enough.
    Thank You...........

    Hi rscully,
    I think a great starting place is the "Sound Input to File.vi" example found in the Example Finder. Since the output is waveform data, you should be able to extract the timing information from the waveform data. Try using the "Get Waveform Components" function. If that doesn't work for you, you may also want to just grab the time stamp from the system clock with the "Get Date/Time String" function.
    To record the bark, you can perform signal processing to match the bark frequency. The first thing that comes to mind, is to record a bark, analyze the power spectrum to find the peak power at a specific frequency range. Then in your program, you can find the power spectrum for that specific frequency range, and if the peak within that range exceeds a threshold, record the bark and time-stamp. This method should be simple if you have the NI Spectral Measurements Toolkit. See this tutorial.
    Once you have verified that a bark has occurred, you may want to record the previous bark sound data and the post bark sound data. This will ensure that the entire bark is captured in a sound file. I have edited the "Sound Input to File.vi" example to demonstrate this. Please see the attached picture. I hope this helps!

  • Bounced (rendered wav files) file issues

    Got a mix, all good, nice blend , nothing overpowering , good bass and kick balance and mids are just right( mix not mastered so i am sure mix could be improved) but ok for currenty purpose. Ok now bounce file(used power dithering option 1) , played back wav file now it sounds like sh.....t , bass is realy dominant kick is extremly loud and sound is cluttered. Why? should i not use the dither option? in other words after bouncing mix to wav the sound is no where close to the original mix even on same monitors used to reference mix originally, issues are more pronounce when playing back on other systems. Point me in right direction
    thanks

    First of all, if you don't have bit depth conversion dithering is absolutely unneeded.
    Second, try using another audio format (AIFF or SDII, but I prefer the first).
    Third, if you have a DAT recorder, try recording your audio card's analog stereo out directly onto the DAT then, if you need, re-import it digitally into Logic. (take care of DAT sampling rate, 48Khz, and of clock settings)
    Fourth, some audio cards (like MOTU's one) can send a mixed stereo out back to the DAW software without cabling anything.
    Let me know.
    cheers

    yes. thank you!  at least so far it appears to be working. much appreciated! 

  • Playing two sound waves across two different sound cards simutaneously?

    Hello all.
    With the help from old board posts and the example VIs packaged with Labview 2009 SP1, I was able to get part of the way.
    The goal is to simutaneously play two .wav files, to two different sound cards. So far:
    1) I can play one wav file to either sound card
    2) I can generate two sine waves of different tones, and push each out to the two cards seperately simutaneously.
    But when I replace those two tones from #2 with .wav files, the wave files play alternately. So wav_1 plays to sound_card_1, THEN wav_2 plays to sound_card_2, not simutaneously.
    Is it even possible to play 2 wav files simutaneously out to different cards?
    I've included a VI of the attempt in #2 above. Disclaimer: my labview skills are minimal and this vi was very experimental so it's probably terrible form.
    Solved!

    Tzoom84,
    Since there is no way to buffer your sound output on the sound card and use hardware triggering you will be limited to software start timing.  You could use semaphores as you said, or simply wire both of the Sound Output writes in parallel inside a single while loop.  Since windows is nondeterministic the best you will likely achieve is the two outputs starting within tens of milliseconds of one another.  The time between the two starting will be affected by all other processes running on your system and may take much longer.

  • My Sine Wave File sounds different in Logic than iTunes

    I am working on creating musical compositions with embedded sine wave patterns (which I am generating in a foriegn application). These sine waves are designed to entrain the brain to different frequencies to facilitate in stimulating meditative states of consciousness in the listener.
    Unfortunately, when I import my sine wave audio file (in .wav format) Logic changes it and the rhythm is frequency is twice as fast! When I play the file in iTunes it sounds just the way I generated it, but when I import it into Logic through the audio bin or simply drag and drop onto the arrange window, it sounds different and cannot work for the precise control I require for my compositions.
    Does any one have any idea why this is happening or what I can do to import my audio file without changing it?
    Thank you so much for any ideas/assistance,
    Devlin Dewitt Donnelly

    Hi DD Smooth,
    you should check sample rate settings on your original audio files and make them match the sample rate settings on your logic project prior to importing them. Sounds like you are generating 48khz .wav files in your foreign app and Logic must be set to 44.1khz by default. Or the other way around

  • My music quality drops half way through - wave file, is there a way to make an improvement

    My music sound quality drops half way through - its a wave file, is there a way to make a the other half as good as the first half?

    Firstly can you tell us what sort of drop in quality in you are experiencing? Is this music that you have recorded yourself using Audition or is it imported from somewhere else? Without knowing what has happened to it it is impossible to say if any improvement can be made.
    If it is audio that you have recorded and edited in Audition you must have done something to it to make it change half way through. You will probably need to go back a few steps in your editing process to recover the sound.

  • Importing WAV files that have been modified with a sound editor

    I tried importing a WAV file to Itunes which I had modified with a fade out effect to remove talking at the end of the song. When I played the song back in Itunes (after importing), the edit effect was ignored. Is there a way to import songs into Itunes so modifications done with a sound editor will be recognized?

    Well, iTunes has no ability to undo edits, so the problem may lie elsewhere. Please try the following extra-extra-careful procedure:
    - Edit the file and save it.
    - Exit the editor.
    - Make sure you know filename/location of the edited file, and that you are not confusing it with some unedited copy of the same song.
    - Play the edited file in some other player than iTunes and make sure the edits are as you wished.
    - Now, add the file to your iTunes library.
    Pls try this and let us know.

  • My iphone will not vibrate or make a sound when receiving a text message

    for some reason since yesterday, my Iphone will not vibrate or make a sound when I receive a normal or Imessage text message.
    I double checked that vibration works in general and it does. so does the sound file for the Text tone.
    My ringer works fine as well as vibration for incoming calls but nothing works with a normal text message (even whatsapp works fine).
    I have no idea what could be the issue here.
    Any ideas?

    - Unmute your phone
    - Set your Ringtone to default
    - Adjust your volume
    - If you're on iOS6 - DO NOT DISTURB feature turn it OFF
    Try again
