creating sound files from YT

[Peg o my heart]

Hello. I would like to create sound files based on HD YT video, especially Me 262. Is there any free tool I can possibly use? And does this violate copyrights if I use sounds owned by other people from Youtube? Thanks

The copyright of the sound is (in the case of original material) owned by the uploader. You need to clear it with them. I've done this successfully in the past, as long as you aren't going to be making a ton of money off it then it should be fine.

Just google 'youtube to wav' and you'll find many websites that will allow you to enter the google url / video code, and download a wav file from it. No idea about the legality of doing that, but what are they going to do / how will they know.

There's a fairly complex string of processes that can be used..

Essentially, starting from a combination of videos, interior exterior. Maybe 12-15 clips. You'll use 3-4 programs to accomplish what you need.

> Download from youtube
> Convert - Keeping quality as high as possible.
> Edit and standardize - Often by the time this is done, there's little remnant of the original audio. You'll 'clip' small snippets out, stretch and equalize to match desired effect.
> Implement each transition into a .cfg


An easier method would be to just download a 262 soundset, or comparable. Does the 262 from Flight-Replicas offer sounds? I haven't tried.

I see. No of course not, no intention to commercialize it. Is there any free tool I can use? Thanks

ouch, that is discouraging LOL... the thing is, I havent succeeded in finding a 262 soundset, and it would be much appreciated if anyone is able to suggest. Yes it is for my good old FR 262. But this doesnt mean the soundset is bad though, it's a matter of preference (especially external sound))

POMH,

As Joseph has outlined the steps required to make a sounds for MSFS, I'll give you some links for the tools you'll need to accomplish it.

First, you'll need an audio editor.

This will be the tool that you record, edit, and save your completed .wav files in for use in FSX.

If you do some Googling, you'll see that there are some basic 'to buy' audio editors, and some very expensive ones, such Sony's Sound Forge, and Adobe Audition, which have much more in the way of audio tools and features etc.

But for now you'll probably want to go down the free route, so you might like to try Audacity.

I haven't used it myself for a long time, but it should be good enough to get you started.

The other tool you'll need is FS Sound Studio.

This payware, and whilst it hasn't been updated in a very long time, it is a great tool for configuring the FS sound.cfg files, and saves all the palava and time of doing it 'blind' (by hand), which involves editing the vast amount of parameters in the sound.cfg file. With this tool, you can hear your changes and how your sounds will be in FS.

As for using the audio from a Youtube video (or any other source for that matter), as long the sounds you compile are for your own personal use, then it shouldn't be an issue.

Cheers

Paul
