Me and a couple anons were talking about great scripts that pretty much have been forgotten over the years because of how low was TTS quality back in the day. So, we kinda began running a experiment. What if we could remaster those great scripts back from the past and use B4mb1 (or any other modern tts)'s voice, effects audio quality to enhance it?!
Problems appeared, we but we found sonix, which is a great audio to text AI that has almost 100% accuracy even with those horrible quality files!
So, it was good if people get on board with this. It would be amazing to have lots of people remastering their favorite files. I've done two. MSJ - LMS Limp and C4tg1r| - Curse Bra and Mantal Boobs, I`ve post them in the vola room in the end of this post.
I know that there`s at least another Anon doing LMS Panties.
So, to encourage you to get on board this project, i`ll let this step by step here (not much detailed, tbh):
>1 - create an account in sonix.ai - they give you 30 minutes of transcoding for free. If you need more than 30 minutes, you will have to create more accounts or pay premium. But i`s easy and fast to do this.
>2 - upload, wait for sonix do its magic and after that fixing mistakes that may occour. Normally, i do a full run listening with 0.8x speed, so i can catch any mistakes that the AI does. I do in 0.8x because english its not my main language but if you can do faster, better!
>3 - export and save the text file in your computer
>4 - for the audio:
I use 2 main applications to do the TTS recordings:
A - the voice - I use IVONA - SALLI
You can use this magnet:

B - for the TTS reader, i use Balabolka. I have used a lot of applications and this one seems to be the best.

>5 - open balabolka and open your script already revised.
I use Salli with rate -2. You can do whatever you feel seems best.
>6 - save the audio file as a wav. Check and see if its OK.
>7 - Download audacity, watch 10 minutes of youtube videos teaching you to do the basic stuff. Importing a track, duplicate, pan, cut, etc. Its pretty easy. Seriously.
>8 - Open audacity, import your wav track and do whatever you want to enhance it.
Here some stuff that i did in the file example that i used, But this is not a rule and you can you whatever you want.
import your TTS track, duplicate it 2 times, so you end up with 3 equal tracks.
First track i put on 15 second mark, keep it centered in stereo balance and use 70% reverb effect.
Second track i put on 15.1 mark, volume -16db, pan 60% to the left, reverb at 100%, echo at 1sec.
Third track i put on 15.2 mark, volume -16db, pan 60% to the right, reverb at 100%, echo at 1sec and change pitch a bit higher (one tone).
>9 - put a low volume background track, if you want.
>10 - export to mp3 or whatever you want.
That`s it! Hope you guys think this is a good idea and better than this, want to help me remastering old files!
