Smile Sounds for Alerts
I was looking to add a few more sound alerts to my OEC charts and thought I'd see what sounds others use on their charts. If you use audible alerts, what are they? Depending on the file format, you might be able to upload into this thread for others to use. Right now I've just got your standard windows beeps/sounds, but was looking to broaden that up a bit. Ideally I'd like an alert that says 'NQ in play' or something along those lines and then specify each individual market so when the alert goes off, it's not a general alert, it will alert me to the specific chart to reference.

Anyone got any good wavs that they can share?
Anyone know how to build custom wavs that sound good?

Thanks!

You can give this tool a try. It creates wav files using your own words with various canned voices.

Re: Sounds for Alerts
Funny, I was just messing with this the other day. i have a few mario bros wave files. I was thinking of putting the "game over" sound in place of the "stop filled" etc

I'm not really sure how to do it though. If anyone does this let me know! I would love to know how.

That part is easy in OEC trader. You just select the wav file you want when you create the alert.
