Hello all,
I am looking for help with the creation of some additional sound effects / notifications to be used in the Necrosis addon for World of Warcraft.
Necrosis is an addon for warlocks to help with the management of spells, shards and demons - and one of its features is the ability to play sound notifications when various events occur in the game, e.g. "ShadowTrance" (attached) is played when the nightfall event occurs.
I would like to add some additional sounds to the addon - e.g. Decimate, Life Tap, Backdraft - all in the same style as the original sounds, but sadly my attempts have been pretty dismal thus far :/ [ I'm a programmer - not a sound engineer / artist ]
The original sound creator (who is french btw) left the project more than 2 years ago and is no longer contactable. All I know is that he used a text-to-speech program to generate the phrases into english (because his spoken english was so poor), and then applied various special effects to it.
I've got the basic clips for the new sounds, but I just cant work out what special effects need to be applied in order to make them sound similar to the originals.
Attached are 3 example sounds by the original creator. If anyone can work out what effects have been applied and tell me how to go about reproducing them, I will be extremely grateful.
Many thanks!
Here are the example sounds created by the original author as a reference:

- http://www.4shared.com/file/128169264/d9f32337/ShadowTrance-Fr.html
They all sound very similar and I'm hoping to have this same effect for the new sounds to be added to the mod.
For the record, I'm using (well, trying to use) Audacity. I've been advised that the MorphVOX voice changing application might be able to reproduce these effects, but I listened to a demon voice sample (on their website) and its not even close.
Thanks in advance for any help
Hi ArPharazon.
I edited the first file you linked to, to make it a little more deamon like:
http://www.4shared.com/file/128182209/9929c16c/EnslaveDemonEnd-En-kysteredit.html
This is done in audacity 1.3.5 beta, with the effect AM pitchshifter. I hope it's in the right direction.
Hey, i think i misunderstood.
Well, if you want a demon like voice, you can use some pitch shift effect, and maybe to make it more boombastic, maybe put in a little bassboost, but not too much. I can try to make some samples, if you'll write down the exact words, if you like.
Hi!
Basically I want to add these new sounds:
- "Decimate"
- "Life Tap"
- "Backdraft"
But - the most important thing is that I want these new sounds to have the same kind of effects that was used in the originals (in other words, all the sounds to have the same kinda style overall).
Thanks
What about this one?

Nope - it does not sound like the shadowtrance / soulstoneexpired examples that I posted.
The quickest and easiest way might be to re-do all the voice samples and then add the effects? Let me know if you need some help!
