Announcements are too quiet

[Jack123]

Hello!!
Ive just been adding some annoucements to the old BVE Circle line, and its all working however, the annoucements are very quiet and with the noisy motor sounds of the C Stock, make it almost impossible to hear. Is the any way I can possibly boost the annoucement level?? Make them more louder???
Please help!!!!!

Where have you got the announcements from/ how have you recorded them?

 

[Jack123]

I have recorded them, yes they are the current day ones

Using a microphone/ some other device?

 

[Jack123]

Yes by finding the recordings on you tube and recording

Have you tried recording the sounds at a louder volume from your PC?

 

[Jack123]

I have, on the loudest volume but, with very loud speakers, but it still comes out quiet, is there any software what i could use to boost it up a bit??

I'm not aware of any software being available, are you using speakers which are attached to your computer?

Basically the recordings are a decent level when you play them in windows media player, but in bve they are very quiet, even with external speakers the motor sound towers over the annoucement.

Download Audacity, open it, drag one of the sound files into the window, press CTRL+A to select all, click "Effect" at the top then select "Amplify" - the "Amplification (dB)" value will be as high as it can go without distortion, if it is showing as 0 or a small number then you probably can't do much - otherwise click OK and it will make it louder. Then click "File" and "Export" and save the file.
