I was playing around with some fonts and thought I might give making one a try, or at least modding one.

Specifically for NEC boards. I was using Audacity to modify the WAV files, but I can't seem to get them to export into a format that the NEC board will actually play.

Any advice or tips?

Naigon's config tool has a built in converter that's worked for me (I made an April Fools font out of mouth sounds I recorded in Audacity before). It should convert the WAV files into usable ones. I know there's some way to get it to recognize and convert the files as a batch, but when I did mine it was one at a time with manual tweaks to the sound counts in the config file.

I will give that a try.

So, does it matter at what bit rate I export the audio files then?

and too funny, I was going to do that same thing, make a "funny" font with mouthed saber sounds, you know, the Vroooommm, SWAWISH, vrrr vrrr vaaaarrrrmm sounds we all did as kids?

Make sure when you import the sounds you do it as Raw Content (Using Audacity) then make sure they are at 22050hz and mono. I usually do this then still run them through the NEC Config to be sure.

You also get some quirks in export if you don't set the Project Rate ahead of time.

I had that set, but was still getting the wav files as just static when played on the NEC board. Probably just need to run them through the convertor.

EDIT: set incorrectly I might add... DOH!
