How can I create the effect of the combine radio? Is there some sound program out there that can at least come close by generating a distorted radio effect?

these kids ....

who always think there is somewhere on the net the soft that will exactly do what they need, and for free, with instant download, with of course no pop-up, no bugs and so on :| ...

When I say combine radio, I mean the soldiers, who communicate through a radio. You will hear it everytime you see them.

They randomly say things.

The sound files are in source sounds.gcf. Get a sound editing proggie and combine (no pun intended) them X)

1?) you may find on some internet sound databases the radio noises effect you need, (just a research on google with "radio noise sound" as keywords)

2?) then you just have to get a not-that-bad sound program, that can at least use two sound channels, (if you find a trial version, check first you can save files : I wasted half an hour once working on a sound to finally realize I wasn't able to save it, because the save function was disabled on my soft version :| ).

3?) record the speech you would like to have as combine-like radio message (to get a wav file, or something like that),

4?) import it on the first sound channel of your sound software, and import the noise sound on the second channel,

5?) put the noise effect at the start on the voice sound, and copy/paste it at the end, then try to merge the two sounds with basic fade-in/fade-out commands, to finally get something that sounds like a radio message.

Its really hard to combine them, because its not standard static. there is only distortion when they speak, and each word contains a different level of distortion. I can't just combine a track where they say, Affirmative, with something I say like "We have hostiles inbound." That just doesn't work....I mean unless you meant something else...

J.C I am still looking for a radio effect. I would imagine it would be pretty standard, but I am having some trouble finding it. And I imagine - even if I do, it won't sound much like them. I will just continue looking for a radio program and fool around with different effects, etc... I will let you know if I find a good way of doing this.

If you only want a handful of sounds done, I'll do it for you. How many?
