THX Robot sound

[Gilrock]

I saw several member here that were using the THX Robot audio to start their show and thought it looked like a cool idea. The problem was where to get the audio. I'd be glad to pay for any sound I use but I was pretty sure this wasn't sold on iTunes. I found this video I linked below on YouTube and it looks like a member from here but I don't really know everyone yet. I thought the audio sounded awesome in this clip. So I said Hey son you know how to grab audio from a YouTube clip. He's like sure dad just type in this web address....blah blah blah...and out pops an audio file. The problem is the volume level seemed really low. So I tried a second conversion site. Same result. I tried using the Amplification effect in Audacity but the audio was already close to clipping so not much boost at all was causing crackling in those sections. So I didn't see a way to boost the overall volume so that it would be comparable to the rest of my show without making it sound bad. I tried a little bit of amplification to the file but when I viewed it outside you couldn't hear what was going on in most sections of the clip. Anyone else had problems getting good audio for this?

Thanks,

Gil

most of us use Audacity. You can amplify any portion of an audio file.

Like I mentioned I am using Audacity....but I didn't try to amplify it in sections. Thanks that's one idea I can try tonight. If anyone has a version that sounds as good as that video that you would share...I wouldn't think it would be a problem since I don't think it's sold anywhere. If it is let me know I'll buy it.
