Anyone have an X-wing engine WAV or MP3?

Post by Jeff Herne »

I'm adding sounds to the SS X-wing I'm doing, and I'm looking for an X-wing engine sound. Even a stretched flyby I could use as a startup/shutdown file.

I've found only one 'flyby' MP3 online and the apogee duration (the point when the X-wing is closest and thereby the loudest) is too short to stretch out to create an 'in cockpit' constant sound.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

J

You could get an audio editor program. I'm not sure of the freebies available, but I use Adobe Audition. I could get do this for you pretty simply. PM me if you want...

Try the direct page. Hit Sound, then "Other" by mousing over the logos.

Hey, those will work great for my niece's X-wing! :8)

Doesn't the sound boards over at starwars.com have ship sounds like that?

Yea, it does...but only short, 2-3 second files. I wanted something that would run for 30-45 seconds...

I did manage a solution. I found my old copy of Rouge Squadron, installed it, and flew a few 'missions' in the X-wing. I ran my music editing program in the background and looped my line out from my computer into the microphone input. The result is that I was able to record the background sounds of the X-wing engines along with a few voice snippets from the game.

By doubling and adding tracks from the SW.com soundboard, I was able to create a couple of various tracks.

I have a 300 second, USB recording module that'll handle a few different tracks, so I'm installing that into the base. I'm not sure yet if I'll install the speaker in the base or the model...
