How to make sounds louder

Hi,

is there a way to make sounds louder?? i tryed to edit the sound's wav file, but they are already at maximum. So maybe there is an option for the .snd file that makes BF playing this special sound louder than the others.

Audacity?
Export, import freshly exported sound file, increase volume again.

I found it much easier to add the gain property to the sound through the snd file, example:

Code: Select all

SoundProperties()
{
    Name("dc-15p_fire");
    Group("weapons");
    Inherit("weapon_template");
    Gain(1.0);
    SampleList()
    {
        Sample("dc-15p_owe", 1.0);
    }
}

What kind of sound effect is it? You can do as Nedarb suggests and add Gain(1.0); to the sound property (don't bother trying to go past 1.0 - that's the maximum), but you may also want to try amplifying the sound in Audacity past its peaks. To do so, select your track, choose the Amplify effect, check "Allow clipping", enter the value (in decibels) you want to amplify your track by, and press OK. When using "Allow clipping", I strongly recommend amplifying in intervals of 3.0dB and testing after each amplification to make sure there isn't much noticeable distortion.

I'm using Magix Music Cleaning Lab 2006 deluxe. There is an option "normalisiere Objektlautstärke" it increase the sound level to the maximum without loosing any informations. But both sound files already have the maximum. So i think i'll give Nedarb's idea a try.

Yeah I can't help you with that software. :p And that's basically the normalize effect in Audacity, which isn't going to achieve the effect you desire. Just use Audacity to do what you want to do; it's up-to-date and most likely leagues better than this other software.

Why are you using such outdated software? I highly recommend using Audacity. I used to be like you, using some random audio editing software, but when I switched to Audacity I never looked back. So many people use it, for good reason. It's the best free sound editing software out there.
