Inside the audioFiles folder, you’ll find 36 sample audio files that are there as placeholders and
to allow you to try this feature out with some various pre-recorded recordings. When you go to
create your own customized audio files, keep in mind the following tips:
• Files must be saved as .mp3 files and named “audio1.mp3”, or “audio2.mp3”, etc
• Files must be saved in the “audioFiles” folder, and the folder must be kept in the
same location as the “Ghost Bust Live” application file
•If you plan on adding music, sound effects, or reverb/echo, add them to the RIGHT channel
only. Leave the LEFT channel dry with only voice (no effects). Otherwise, the character’s
mouth will be triggered by those other non-vocal sounds/effects.
• If your audio editing program has a ”Normalization” function, use it to Normalize the audio
to -1db so that it’s consistently nice and loud.
• If you’d like a professional recording created using a script you’ve written, no problem!
