Sounds for Alerts

[brownsfan019 17]

I was looking to add a few more sound alerts to my OEC charts and thought I'd see what sounds others use on their charts. If you use audible alerts, what are they? Depending on the file format, you might be able to upload into this thread for others to use. Right now I've just got your standard windows beeps/sounds, but was looking to broaden that up a bit. Ideally I'd like an alert that says 'NQ in play' or something along those lines and then specify each individual market so when the alert goes off, it's not a general alert, it will alert me to the specific chart to reference.

 

Anyone got any good wavs that they can share?

Anyone know how to build custom wavs that sound good?

 

Thanks!

"HOOOOAH!" and "NO, I'm just getting warmed up"

You can give this tool a try. It creates wav files using your own words with various canned voices.

Windows comes with a sound recording program.

you can record your own voice...

 

 

there are a number sound recording programs you can download for free from the web.

Funny, I was just messing with this the other day. i have a few mario bros wave files. I was thinking of putting the "game over" sound in place of the "stop filled" etc

 

I'm not really sure how to do it though. If anyone does this let me know! I would love to know how.

That part is easy in OEC trader. You just select the wav file you want when you create the alert.

I really don't want to hear my own voice. That would be kinda weird - like my future self telling my current self about a trade setup.

Have a HOTTIE from a local dancing establishment come over and record some sounds for you!

I'm ok w/ that depending on how it sounds. Do you know of any programs in particular to check out? Yes, I can google it, but I'm asking if you know of any particular ones.

there are quite a few renditions available, ever since Microsoft included the engine in the Windows OS, it has become quite easy to create these type of programs. This is all part of MS's AI initiative.

 

I have tried a few, but that was a long time ago... I don't have a name to recommend. You can check out the reviews and user ratings at Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com

I usually sample clips from a movie or song and chop them up in a wav editor and upload them. I have way too many to post here and I'm always changing them out just for fun. If anyone has a particular clip they would like sampled, I could probably do it or show you how if you don't already know.

I think the best way to do this would be to record yourself using any kind of recorder, and then manipulate the recording with something like SPEAR or Audacity (both free). You can definitely make your voice sound FAR from human using either of those programs. Audacity is pretty easy to use. SPEAR can take a long time to learn, but you can still make cool sounds with it without knowing what you're doing.

Here are a few more. Price crossing 20 sma above or below.

Tiki - what did you use to make yours?

[brownsfan019 17]

So I poked around the internet, downloaded some freeware and the best sounding voices were: AT&T Labs Text-to-Speech: Demo

 

You can tell they are robotic in nature, which is fine with me, but also you can understand what the voice is saying.

 

Attached is my first go at this and all I did was make a file that says the market symbol. That's it (for now). I'll need to learn how to add sound to this -- is that done through audacity or another program? Maybe tiki or tams will know.

 

I plan to use these on the alerts I make for OEC trader and have them repeat a few times since the audio part is very small at this point.
