QUOTE: Originally posted by AntonioFP45 I agree, SpaceMouse, but a number of modelers here want sounds that are currently not available; even in sound libraries. So this may be a way for modelers to help modelers. A
QUOTE: Originally posted by AntonioFP45 SpaceMouse, I've read of Digitrax's uploadable sound decoder, but did not see any material where they made that suggestion. That's great that they did! Apparently since a number of people have this same basic idea, chances are we may see it become reality. As I pointed out though, it would be great if it could start with members from this forum. The intent being the recording of that "rare" or unusual railroad power like RDC's, MUs, and certain steamers. I don't know the costs associated with maintaining a website, but so many of you already have websites and can provide info on this. I wonder if Kalmbach could be persuaded to sponser a website for modelers and railfans to download/upload sounds. Would this be viable?

QUOTE: Originally posted by MisterBeasley I wouldn't be obsessed with sound quality for these files. After all, you will be playing them on a 1-inch speaker buried inside a locomotive, with a sub-watt sized amplifier. A little bit of hissing or popping will not be noticeable. Does anyone know what format the Digitrax decoders want? WAV? MP3? CD-Audio? Or is there a general-purpose conversion tool to take several inputs and convert to the decoder's internal format?
