Re: Pirate Shortwave Broadcasting
[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="Tansin A. Darcos (TDARCOS)"][quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"]My question is: are there audio filters to create the sort of effects you hear in these transmissions? Specifically crackling, warping, random volume fluctuations and static[/quote] Jonsey, is this a serious question or were you fucking with us?[/quote][/quote] I'm serious. Deadly serious! [quote]We're talking about analog radio equipment built back in the 1960s and 1970s, most of which is designed for use in a dry building or transmitter installation on land, not intended to operate as marine transmitters on a boat. I'm surprised it worked as well as it did for the conditions it was used under.[/quote] This part I don't understand. Who was talking about a boat? [quote]Now, if I'm misunderstanding you and you want to simulate these in a recording made now on digital equipment, check out the open source audio editor <a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net">Audacity</a> and see if it has them. [/quote] It does not! By default, anyway. But look, that's besides the point. Here's what I wanted to do, Commander: I wanted to make a game in the future that had working radio stations. So you turn one on, and it streams Creative Commons-licensed pirate radio broadcasts. I wanted to see if there were audio filters to make custom ones, though. But that's not important. What is important is THIS question: did you ever do anything with ham radio back in the day? the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey![/quote]
