How do you make new sounds?

Post by Stalgren »

Ive been wanting to make new sounds for a mod im working on but when I extract the sound files they are in .ogg format and the only program I know that can play .ogg's is no longer available.

So what im asking is,

1. Where can I get a program that plays ogg's

2. Where can I get a program that saves .wav files to .ogg (And .ogg to .wav

If you can help then thanks

Oh nm winamp full is needed.

But what I need more than anything is something to encode wav to ogg

thats the only way ill get my custom sounds in game and that program is a trial it only does 10 files of each type and I plan to change much more then just 10 files

Also why is it that some sounds are in wav format yet niether winamp nor WMA can open them and I cant find the codec to them anywhere

You need the Xbox ADPCM codec.

Yeh, use thej coverter, that is the best choice, but you could make the sounds from scratch if you want with a sound editor...
