I tried using sox -v but not any noticable change. You mentioned I can use wavs for voice prompts (playback and background) instead of gsm? If this is the case, I do have normalize here so that can be used.
What I I mean for bad quality is a hissing noise on recordings but surprisingly enough, the default samples sound quite good for gsm so.. Whats the catch? Wavepad is a windows app that can save directly to gsm.. But once again, I guess Ill go with wav if playback and background can support it -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven Critchfield Sent: Mi�rcoles, 23 de Febrero de 2005 04:24 p.m. To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Sound files quality and volume On Wed, 2005-02-23 at 16:11 -0600, Anton Krall wrote: > I just noticed that quality of .gsm files for using with asterisk is > not that good.. is there any way to make then sound better? asterisks > sample voices sound way better than theones recorded using > applications like wavepad or with asterisk like unavailable > messages... any tips?

If you don't like the sound volume, you need to either increase it when recording or you can attempt to shift the audio up with your audio editor. As for sox, that is exactly what man is for. I think there is simple volume changes that can be made with the -v flag. If you want it raised without distorting, before you convert to gsm, use normalize on the wav file. Afterwords use soxx to convert to gsm, or then again, if it is on your machine and is unlikely to be transfered, don't use gsm, use wav. The difference is you won't introduce any compression artifacts into the audio quality. If you don't like the quality of audio when recording with wav settings using asterisk, maybe you need a better phone or to just get used to what you actually sound like when your voice traverses the phone systems. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
