Sound editing - japanese voices

keltos01 · 12-10-08, 01:51 PM

I have a japanese submarine movie in which I think we could find all relevant sounds to replace the currrent english voices .

Since I don't know squat about sound editing , does anyone ?

I think the files you need are in the sound/speech folder in .oog format.

There's plenty of free audio software that allows you to well... edit soundfiles, i tend to fool around with Audacity a lot, good software though it is limited in file formats how it can save them as (ogg, Wav, MP3 and something else i think) but it supports just about any soundfile format you can find.

oog ? never heard before, will check out audacity though thanks !

I'd like to downlaod things from U tube and edit the sound but somehow the adress I transfer from firefox into the u tube download program never works...

this site has a few short movies about IJN ships and submarines available for download :

Warship movies in AVI. format ready to download

So please enjoy.

IJN. Movies

http://www.aeronautic.dk/Warships%20movies.htm

I guess we could use parts of those to get our sound files ?

Audacity doesn't seem to be able to extract the sound from the movie ???

okay, wht you need to do is grab a mic, and just record back thru the speakers. its really easy/.

keltos01 · 12-12-08, 02:31 PM

don't you lose sound quality ? I don't have a mike anyways

keltos01 · 12-12-08, 04:20 PM

first sounds !

Torpedo firing sequence with released air sounds :

captured from the movie Gochin (sink instantly) at 37'37'' till 37'45''

mp3 :

ogg :

Dive Dive ! sequence :

captured from the movie Gochin (sink instantly) from 10'14'' till 10'22''

mp3 :

http://files.filefront.com/dive+dive.../fileinfo.html

ogg :

http://files.filefront.com/dive+dive.../fileinfo.html

I guess the ogg file could replace the original firing sequence, I still need a japanese speaker to tell me what they say !

Keltos

using 4musicmp3 to ogg converter :

(edit)

That is the bad way to do it. You can actually rip the sound file from a movie with a movie / sound editing software, grab the parts you want and save as mp3, ogg, oog, wav or so formats. What you find best, im not sure did the game use oog or ogg, they're pretty similar but nevertheless, isn't too much of a problem.

That method REALLY reduces the sound level a lot, all the background noises, buzz from speaker, PC, etc etc...

*Edit* Keltos, i can take a look into those sounds, since i can speak japanese a bit (standard conversation is about the best i can pull off)

*edit2* Just checked the mp3 file of the torpedo launch and well, for me they're using some alternative for the "Hashin/Hassha" as we non japanese people hear it.. But i cant really make out what the word in the mp3 is even written, sorry. Someone other that is more fluent in japanese language then i should take a look into that.

w4lt3r, i put the two programs I found on the net in my first post, they're easy enough for a beginner like me !

If you know of a simple movie editing program I could maybe cut the parts the sounds come from and post them too ? maybr it could help ?

Zaza who gave me the movie said that WWII japanese was very different from current japanese. I haven't heard from him in a while though... I can just hope he takes a look at Subsim now and again.

I will try this weekend to make a small mod to replace one or two of the sounds, like the two I lade here above.

I especially like the dive sequence !

Keltos, have you tried looking for a subtitle file for the film? There may be one floating about on the internet and it will give you what the say and when they say it.

keltos01 · 12-13-08, 05:00 AM

didn't find one, the movie is Gochin, was made in 1942 on the 4th war patrol of I-10.
If anyone can find subtitles... please tell me !

Real Life Sounds there !

Great stuff so far.

I think there is more to full up the selection of naval commandos for instance given on the bridge.

I would suggest to get your hands on the japanese Anime-Series "Zipang".

Episodes with english subs used to be on youtube, but I cannot see them here in germany any more due to that crappy geoblocking.
