1. Re: Tin Can Voice
_durin_ Mar 24, 2009 2:21 PM (in response to Rich146)Hi Rich,
I'm not a Flash guru, but the screenshots you show look like it's recompressing your mp3 file. The source file is 1820.2K, and it looks like, after recompressing that file with the settings you have there, it's going to shrink to around 247.6K, or a 13.6% reduction in file size. That is also probably the reason for the tin-can effect - if you listen to "full_pulse_arrest_01.mp3" in an audio player, it probably sounds pretty good. But it's going through a second compression process, which is going to degrade the data significantly at those settings.
I think you can set that Compression: dropdown to "Default" and it will just use the original source file without any additional compression applied.
That's my best guess as to what's happening. Hopefully, the folks in the Flash forum have more specific information for you.

2. Re: Tin Can Voice
TPrentiss Apr 8, 2009 6:35 AM (in response to Rich146)We've gotten rid of tin can voice by building an inexpensive portable sound booth. It cost around $35 for the acoustic foam and a collapsible fabric cube.
See Harlan Hogan's instructions here: http://digitalprosound.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=89503
When I go back to previous training to add a slide, I can't believe how tinny the sound was, even though I was using a Snowball USB mic from www.bluemic.com. Using the portabooth, my voice is much richer. Might be worth a try.
