Shunter - Small Loco Prime mover sounds, any one have any?

(1/3) > >>

Gibs:
As the subject asks, do we (as in RE and all of us) have any sound files for Shunter's/small Loco's prime mover's?
A possible secret stash on some ones PC....( I wish).  :D

Gibs:
Hmm, it would seem that I may have to create my own file(s).
I know it needs to be in the following format - Mono, 44.1KHz, 16bit.
Is there : Start, Idle, Ramp up, Full throttle, Ramp down and Shut : sound bytes required?
Anyone know?

KPack:
Currently Ring hasn't enabled the users to make their own prime mover sound files.  Those are done by Ring and released through the normal channels.  If you have good recordings of locomotives from start to finish, send it on to Ring and pressure him to make a prime mover file out of it.

I do wish we could have more flexibility to make our own prime mover files, but I would think they are very hard to do right.  Ring takes forever to get new prime mover files out unfortunately.  If they were quicker about it, it would make all of us very happy.

If I could only see the Loco sound files I can make one, just can't seem to find them anywhere on my PC after I download them.
I already have Audio Programs from other interests I have (Modding Games) so its no biggy IF I can see one!!!!

You won't find them on your PC after you download them because they are not stored as stand alone files, everything is stored in one big storage file. Also don't assume that Ring's sound files are in any format that any audio editor can use; the sound samples start as wav files yes but we don't know what the final format is.

Right now the closest thing you could make yourself is a something like a generator, a startup, run loop and shutdown.

I doubt it's actually very hard but just very time consuming to edit so everything is smooth. Ring would already have made the software to put the prime mover files together, that just leaves the sound editing.
