[Q] Newbie, need sound modding help

[Cvette]

Heya folks, love the site, visit often and finally decided to register. Ever since I found SparkIV I've been hooked on modding sounds for GTA IV. I'm currently working on modifying an AK47 sound, but the sound in-game does not sound near as good as the .wav when played in WMP. I guess you could say it doesn't have that "crack" or "pop", it sounds almost muffled.

 

Cheers to anyone that can help a clueless fella like me.

Mornin' mate,

 

Yup yup, I've been editing/saving these files in Audacity and then opening them up in IVaud, then finally importing them into the game using SparkIV.

I've been working on weapon sound mods too.Same happens to me but it actually sounds cool.I zhink if u want the ak47 to sound a bit more powerful, you need to change some (or all) of the shot's high and low sounds because all those shot sounds combined make a sound you hear in-game.Not 100% sure about this but i think that's how it works.(i suggest some echo or something instead of high sounds)

I've tried a few different combinations of mixing / matching, put this here, that there...etc. Can't quite get it to work the way I'd like to, they sound compressed, almost like the AK in COD4.

Try replacing all ak shot sounds with the same sound.Maybe that'll work
