Hi, havent found anything about tansducer in the forum, though i'm prolly not the only doin' this.

Dear Scavier's: Is it possible to throw in some more low freq noise for gravel, grass and curbs? Around 20Hz?

My sonic transducer goes crazy on idle revs but does nothing on curbs or going off track. I suppose this could be a very simple add on.

Many thanx in advance!

Sorry for being OT and forgive my ignorance, but what is a sonic transducer?

Quote from Wikipedia :

A transducer is a device, usually electrical, electronic, or electro-mechanical, that converts one type of energy to another for the purpose of measurement or information transfer. Most transducers are either sensors or actuators. In a broader sense, a transducer is sometimes defined as any device that senses or converts a signal from one form to another.

So did you just find a fancy way for saying loudspeaker? Or subwoofer?

A sonic transducer is indeed a subwoofer speaker without any membrane plus more weight on the coil - in addition to a low freq splitter and low freq amp.

You mount it under your chair or whatever and then call it "Butt Kicker" for a reason! AKA Base Shaker.

Thanks for clearing that up

But yes indeed, LFS definitely needs sound improvements. I think tyres hitting a bump does nothing right now, where normally it would result in a deep THUD.

Yes, LFS does have a sheer lack of tire noise. For instance, the road cars in LFS aren't THAT loud, but they all lack the relatively low frequency sound that sounds like a basketball bouncing off the floor at the instance they are perturbed, say when running over a washboard surface or over a curb.

Those are sample-based - check out your data\snd dir. You can edit those sounds and easily add a short-duration layer (so it'll be rumbley) at that freq (they look pretty empty at that range in a spectrogram).

@ xaotik

they are in raw format - my default for, errh, photoshop?

RAW file can be sound or graphics. Install a good sound program (don't ask me which) and you'll open RAW audio files fine...

audacity will do it fine!

Personally I use GoldWave, but it's only trial. The raw files you want to edit are PCM 16bit mono signed @ 44KHz (you have to specify it, as raw could be anything).

thx! That gets me going....

Does Audacity save raw?

soundforge does... i edited the blow-off valve to make little louder...

i just redid the sounds, but im gonna double check everything then ill post the files for ya
