In my search of making the perfect sound file for my E6 (made up of clips from various engines) has me looking at sound sets puzzled. For example the extended startup sounds for one file start at clip 63 (my E6) and another a blue goose, starts at 55. The same holds true for the announcement played when the PFA key is pressed (in this case, arriving sounds for a passenger train) on the E6, that clip is #105 on the blue goose its 100. Also, the clips on the blue goose appear to be in some kind of order (ie clip 100 is the arriving sound, 101 is departing ect. Clip 91 is the departing announcement on the E6) on the goose file starting at 103 it has the sounds as they'd play during the PFA sounds. Not sure why this is and if the different numbers means anything. Side note, I tried to extend the extended start up passed clip 63 and it didn't work. Any ideas on this?
Another question: Why is there a bunch of empty space in the sound file (clips 54-61 are empty)?
For a quick list of what I'd like:
A few clips of crew talk after the blow down on the extended start up sequence. (1:29-1:35 of video, reference only)
Longer shut down sequence (with some additional steam let off sounds)
A few clips of crew talk during the final stage of PFA (right before the engine moves)
A short whistle to blow right when the train stops in PFA mode.
"Now arriving on the advertised" crew talk after the arrival announcement on the PFA (before bell rings. FEF and Blue Goose have this sound)
Welcome to (insert destination here) in the PFA sounds
Video of PFA sounds I'm looking to have. (Starts at 0:32). 1:15 here for ending sounds.
Quillable whistle (Don't think this is possible on this engine though since clip 3 is taken, its a water hatch opening sound)
Short whistle sound
I've thought about using either the northern or the goose file as a base and putting the E6 specific sounds in it. That way I'd cross over at least 2 things off my list right away.
Looks like the "Now arriving on the advertised, welcome to and destination are on clips 124-126 and the short whistle is on clip 41 (used the goose sf for this). On my E6 file, 124-126 are part of the train wreak sequence (a stupid feature) and clip 41 is the dynamo shutting off sound.
