Im in the process of collecting sounds from the character TUVOK from Star Trek voyager. Would you be willing to make a soundboard with a similar style to the picard board? There won't be as many sounds but it should be more usable than picard with more business oriented sounds. Whattyathink?
edit: And heres the latest board

Investigation, questions
Greetings, Yes, No, Bye's
Food, business related

Lotta funny quotes in there, I must have gone through a dozen episodes. He's got alot of good lines for questioning. I also made a ton of custom business sounds.

I sent you a pm about this before I started posting calls earlier this afternoon but maybe you didn't get it - I spent an hour recreating the picard board format (accidentally deleted picard's fla file a couple of months ago...) since I remembered you said you wanted it in that style, but when I finished and was about to start making buttons out of your audio files I noticed they weren't named properly
I prefer them to have each new word capitalized and no spaces - it looks really sloppy having spaces and all lower case - I'm not gonna go through and rename all of them, and I'm sure you don't want to, but you probably should - remember the longer the phrase the more space it takes up - plus it just looks bad
let me know if you're gonna rename them and give me a new zip file or if you just want me to make the buttons out of the mp3s you've got now
one other thing - I noticed you still don't fade your mp3s in at the beginnings and out at the ends - when you don't sometimes there's a loud popping sounds when an mp3 starts or stops in Flash - so even though it's tedious, I fade in/out every single mp3 on every board I make - and it's not the kind of thing I automate either - because each mp3 is unique - and you've got to fade the actual waveform in when the amplitude starts - not just an amount like the first 50 milliseconds or something - you could batch process them to all be faded in at 50ms and out at length-50ms, but on any of them where the waveform doesn't really start until after that, or conversely, if the audio ends abruptly before length-50ms, you'll still get the popping sounds... so it's kind of necessary - that is, unless you don't mind the popping - I'm kind of a perfectionith thh..
EDIT: it just occurred to me that maybe you don't know how it is that I make buttons - I basically just import all of the mp3s into the library of an fla file, then using a macro I copy/paste the title of the mp3 onto the stage and convert the text into a button, then use another macro to apply the actionscript - but the point is, the text of the button comes directly from the name of the mp3 - so if I want the button text to look a certain way, the mp3s have got to be named that way...

Re: Tuvok board By: metalboss44 Date: January 03, 2008, 09:09:11 pm
WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES
Best that I can do is apologize.
Re: Tuvok board By: jackulator Date: January 03, 2008, 09:09:25 pm
ahhh - now that's more like it
Re: Tuvok board By: jackulator Date: January 03, 2008, 09:10:34 pm
haha - his voice sounds so - almost like chris hanson - very nerdy and enunciated - kind of like the movie Idiocracy "pompous and faggy" haha
Re: Tuvok board By: metalboss44 Date: January 03, 2008, 09:14:00 pm
Hahaha exactly.
I tried to keep away from the technological psychobabble like the picard board and focused more on investigation questions and business related questions.
Re: Tuvok board By: metalboss44 Date: January 03, 2008, 09:18:06 pm
What do you think of this look?
Re: Tuvok board By: jackulator Date: January 03, 2008, 09:23:06 pm
very cool - you're not gonna believe this - I was toying with the notion of yellow earlier when I was remaking the picard board - you know - so it wouldn't be exactly like captain stew - plus it stands out better - I like it! I'm gonna go with that
Re: Tuvok board By: jackulator Date: January 03, 2008, 09:23:28 pm
by the way - how the hell did you make that? photoshop?
