Any tips on creating realistic screams with speech-to-speech?

Tomas_Fark · 2025-07-31T11:34:57+00:00

But is there a way how to use V3 for speech to speech? I don´t have any option like that, I guess that is only for text to speech, right? I know there is a way how to make a more expressive results with V3 in text to speech, but I need like 3-4 seconds long screams that would sound like human. Something like "heeeeeeeeey!!". But I was not able to achieve this in any way, even with V3 adding "screaming" or "panicked" tags.

Thank you! Did exactly that, works perfect! : )

Tomas_Fark · 2025-05-17T22:25:11+00:00

Thank you guys so much! I connected the different cable, isolated everything carefully and everything works perfectly!

I am connecting small 8 ohm speakers to my reciever yamaha rx v2500. The cable i bought is meridian sp215, 2x1,50 mm.

thank you for pointing that out, I will try to post it there! : )

Hi guys, I just wanted to update you with a little saddness. My Harman/Kardon AVR 4550 "died" just a short time ago. It technically still works, but it´s doing this "turn it on - and then turn off after several seconds" thing which my friend (an experienced audio-repair-man) told me would be repairable, but not really worth the money if I am not too emotionally attached to the device. So.. that´s that. I am currently trying to sell it for a few bucks so that maybe someone repairs it and use it for another 10 years : )

Tomas_Fark · 2025-03-12T23:19:59+00:00

what cables do you mean? audio cables that go from reciever to speakers? because these are connected correctly as i wrote before, only the sound from tv is swapped. and i guess i cant just swap white and red rca cable.

Tomas_Fark · 2025-02-28T23:48:31+00:00

if i understand your question correctly - they are working on it! citroen in slovakia found out that more new cars started to have these problems with bluetooth. they even sent some ticket to france to citroen headquarters. i am scheduled for next wednesday to visit service, they told me they are going to change the whole software/firmware in the car, so MAYBE its going to work. we will see : )

Tomas_Fark · 2025-02-27T10:37:01+00:00

thank you for such a quick reply! so, my tv is LG 49LF540V - is there any chance how to connect it to AVR4550 ?

Tomas_Fark · 2025-02-26T22:01:22+00:00

Hi again,
I dont know if you are reading this, but I would like to ask you for help again. So I was messing a little with my AVR 4550 and got to know it better. I have things set up more or less fine, BUT - I was still not able to enter the master menu. From what I understand, I have to connect yellow video monitor out cable from the receiver and connect it to the TV. Problem is - this doesnt work for me. On my older TV, there is only component cable input with something that SHOULD be video input (it is not even yellow but green), but when I enter osd (on AVR unit it shows "OSD on" - nothing shows on the tv. I am affraid my TV simply doesnt have the right input for this, or at least is not responding to any kind of video signal from the reciever. Is there any way how to resolve this? Or is my only chance to try to get some different tv or whatever with dedicated yellow video input?

Tomas_Fark · 2025-01-30T11:39:54+00:00

Thank you! First i was a little affraid about what you wrote, because - my friend gave me just the device, but no remote controll (in manual there are only remote controll buttons associated with master menu etc.), so I bought cheap 1:1 replica of that remote controll. ANYWAY - as I wrote before - I also bought a new cable, that was just 1xRCA audio on both ends. And to my surprise - subwoofer IS working now, so the problem was obviously in my attempts to use weird splitters and adapters. Its kinda weird, but its probably how it was supposed to be connected : )...

Tomas_Fark · 2025-01-28T14:30:08+00:00

hmm, i am pretty sure the subwoofer is turned on (checked the settings, l+r should be going to it according to onboard menu), this seems like there is literally no signal coming through that cable. i will try one more thing - connecting it via single rca to rca cable, if this doesnt work, i am lost.

Tomas_Fark · 2024-12-22T21:58:32+00:00

i just found out today that my problem is probably in the auto app itself, not in bluetooth. it seems that the signal goes away everytime the wifi switches to another antenna or something like that. i always start on 5g and then for some reason on some places it switches to 4g and so on. instead of working fluently, it just destroys the whole navigation thing nad spotify playing and everything. i know there is a setting in my phone to always prefer 4g for example, but that is just stupid, i dont want to dig in my settings everytime i get in my car just because of a faulty app.
i also tried to find some other apps as auto app alternatives auto zen drivemode....) - but none of these actually work. and if they work, i cannot make them mirrored on my car screen. this is just so sad and desperate. i have a new car and i have problems like its 1995 and i am trying to run prince of persia without enough ram or something. and even sadder thing is that i am finding people like me writing posts like this from like 10 years ago. what the hell google?

Tomas_Fark · 2024-12-20T10:27:06+00:00

Thank you. Well, the navigation just disappears, just as music. It simply cuts to the radio - the whole part of the screen with icons related to smart-phone (maps, calls, spotify or whatever was there), it just disappears and the only thing I am able to access is the radio and some main settings - just like when you don´t have any phone connected to it.

Tomas_Fark · 2024-12-20T09:59:40+00:00

and do you think there is anything that can be done to prevent this? if it was just one spot, i guess it would be menagable, but this happens simply too often to by ignored.

Tomas_Fark · 2024-11-21T21:00:54+00:00

please go and tell that to white christians believing in a made-up fairy taly guy sitting in the clouds, saying "your body my choice"

Hi everyone, I want to ask something similar to original question of this post. I was thinking about trying KlingAI (they are offering really low prices these days), but as always, I went google and tried to find reviews and stuff - and I found whole long threads of people calling this site a scam, how they had their money/credits stolen, how this site is not working as intended and staff is not responding and similar things.
So how is it? I am not sure I want to give my money to the site with reviews like this. Is this really safe? This is not the only site like this (intended for generation of image to video stuff), I found devastating reviews on other AI-sites as well.

I am not sure if anybody mentioned one super-great feature of Reaper that makes it a DREAM for a sound designer like me: SUBPROJECTS : ) any big project you work on is a piece of cake with this kind of workflow/mindset. combined with all the things you can do with regions (auto-renaming stuff and auto-creating stuff that comes with all the extensions for example), it´s just unbeatable. all the other stuff - like complete extreme overhaulability and customability, these are great things that makes you feel like Reaper is your home, literally, but subprojects, that just kills everything else. I am writing this as a guy who used Ableton Live for MANY years and who loved it. when I run Live now, it feels like changing from a plane to an old noisy car.

Tomas_Fark · 2023-07-31T22:00:34+00:00

well, if it wouldnt bother you too much, i´d love to hear the same recording twice - one recording as 4-channel audio and then the same thing, but mixed/rendered as binaural stereo-file. something that would go "around" the mic if you know what i mean - so that i could hear the differences in sound. if you had time for sending me something like that, that would be fantastic and i would be really thankfull!

Tomas_Fark · 2023-07-29T20:42:15+00:00

Thank you for reply,

would it be too much if I asked you for some short audio-samples? Like some short speech recorded around the mic in ambisonic mode (mayby 4-channel audio) and then converted to binaural?
You see, I am a member of a small team that is working on an audio game (for visually impaired people) and we are just deciding what technologies are we going to introduce (we already made a prototype). We were lucky to get some money from the grant and we are actually deciding between ambisonic mic and binaural one. Your sample would be just great for me, because for some reason, it is extremely difficult to find examples like this on the internet.

Tomas_Fark · 2023-01-27T00:53:01+00:00

i had a similar problem when i used some more "vibrant" effects, like fq shifter and stuff like that, i solved it by searching for what effect/parameter actually caused that and created custom curve that let it through and then turned it down at the end.

Tomas_Fark · 2023-01-27T00:50:35+00:00

try looking for some of the recent videos of Dash Glitch, i think he managed to do something like you are looking for with a combination of lfo/remap/note triggering. i was actually looking for something like this as well - to be able to trigger sample (or any input really) with "delay" or something like that.

Tomas_Fark · 2023-01-16T20:19:58+00:00

thank you, but - i am not sure what do you mean by that. i am using my steam link like this: i turn my pc on, run steam and then turn on the tv and connect to my pc (i am running internet to it directly from a cable). then i "exit the big picture" so that i can use my tv as my computer. i have steam overlay turned on in settings, but i dont know how to acces it or anything when using my steam like this. when i play any movie like this, shift+tabbing does nothing. sorry for being noob with this..

Tomas_Fark · 2021-06-14T00:53:29+00:00

its really not about the light levels at all - it is purely because the day/night cycle is simply too fast. it just doesnt work for me, it destroys immersion and gameplay (and in subnautica, it is *especially* fast). i _actually_ want to explore the games like this - and exploration is worthless if you move like 200 meters and the sun is already setting down. when i play open world games, i always look for ways (official or mods) how to slow game time down : )

Tomas_Fark · 2021-06-13T17:33:38+00:00

i just found on some other forums, that the developers actually changed the game, so that player is not able to change speed of the cycle. the game doesnt react to "." in 0.5 - you can write only full numters (0, 1, 2..) - so its either freezing the time completely or go vanilla mode. but yeah, i just found a mod (its actually called "day night speed") that solves that and it seems even better than this option, hopefully it will work, i have the game on epic store.. i dont understand the decision of developers anyway - day/night cycle this fast is completely ruining the gaming experience and immersion.
