You forgot the restrictions on usage.
[quote name='http://www.research.att.com/projects/tts/faq.html#WebPolicy']Yes, both the site itself and any downloaded audio files have restrictions. The website is for demonstration purposes only. Website resources are limited and are needed to support these pages. It is not a free service. Direct access to the CGI scripts is not permitted. You may refer people to this site but you cannot have users enter text on your site and use our servers to provide audio, even if you give us credit.

Audio files produced on our site are intended only for private, non-commercial use. This is not legal advice (hey, we're researchers) but here are some scenarios. A class project is probably OK. Bugging your friends is probably OK (with us). A game level released on the internet is not OK. Using TTS for song lyrics and releasing a CD is not OK. Building or prototyping a software package using our audio rather than recording your own recorded prompts is not OK. If you aren't sure, ask. If you need the software or a license to use the audio please contact Wizzard Software.

Length of the input text is limited, usually to 300 characters. Anything longer is chopped off, and may result in partial words or single letters at the end of the speech. The length limit is a website feature and helps regulate server load. If you need to synthesize long pieces of text, the product can handle text of any length.[/quote]

Name: Steinberg WaveLab 5

Description: Professional sound editing software, quite possibly the best you'll find. The full cost of the software is €699, which translates into around $1 020 (CAD). However, a demo version is avaiable. While it doesn't allow you to record, or do anything really advanced, it is a very suitable option instead of Audacity. Saves to a variety of formats, including *.wav, *.ogg, *.wma, *.mp3.

Erm, WaveLab is only about $850 USD, but you also need the Steinberg Product Activation Key (it looks something like this) which costs ~$22 USD.

So less than $1000. Not as if this price makes a difference to anyone here ().

I'd just like to point something out about this: the links are somewhat "broken" (at least for the WAVs from Super Mario World). But I found a way:

• Take the URL of the sound effect.
• Delete the segment "http://www.themushro...omkingdom.net/" and replace it with "http://classicgaming.com/tmk/".

My collection of Legend of Zelda sounds:

http://www.geocities...ge/ZeldaSounds/

Just updated with a fancy new index page, and still growing. All I ask is that you follow the terms of use: Give credit where due, and only download a few at a time. Maybe some bigwig Zelda website will pick me up as an affiliate, but for now I'm on GeoCities bandwidth, which is as tight as a frog's...

Enjoy.

[Sceptile_Master]

If you are fimilair with guitar tablature then I would recommend giving powertabs a try for making your music. You can set the guitars to be flutes or pianos and stuff as well as guitars. And they will then go off the traditional notation the tab gives. All in all easy and great. Once you've finished tabbing your piece you can export the MIDI interpretation of what it sound like and you have a great easily done piece of music for your game.
