I bought Cheetah3D plus the tutorial DVD but can not understand them.

Hi guys,
like many of you, when I bought Cheetah3D, I also ordered the tutorial DVD which unfortunately is too hard to understand to be of any use.
Even with the speakers cranked, it is still too quiet and therefore I am wondering if anyone knows of an updated version which can be downloaded?

Thanks :)
 
Hi,
when did you download the tutorials? I already made them once louder so maybe you still have the older ones. The download link works 3 times so if you re-download you should get the louder ones.

This is good to know. The audio on mine (a while ago) were to soft and hard to hear. How do I find the link that I had to download them originally.

Thanks!

The links is on the receipt you got from Kagi. If you can't find it anymore send me a email with your name and the email address you used when you bought it. Then I will search it out for you.

Hello Martin,
I downloaded the dmg image the same day as I bought C3D 5.5

But I am doing some animation and could use a quick intro so I remembered that I had those ...

So yes, if there is a way to re download an adjusted version, that would be super duper!

Just found the email: September 12 :) God, time flies ... it's just as if it was yesterday! lol
 
Hi again,
so just to make sure: I did find the download link and if I do so, I will get the "normalized" version?

thanks :)
 
I used my Kagi link to redownload the tutorials but it seems the same. I have my volume cranked full and I can barely make out what is being said. The accent makes it a bit hard for me also being a yank and all. Is what I downloaded the volume corrected version?
 
Hi Lonestar,
the tutorials should be 6 dB louder. At my iMac I need 50% volume to get speaking voice volume when the Quicktime player is at 100%. That should be normally hearable.

I've got both pegged at 100 and the room would have to be dead quiet, and even then... Maybe using some audio compression would help. It's the same thing they use for radio and TV ads, to boost the sound. It evens out the peaks and valleys in the db to make things more consistent.

I've taken the liberty of making what I feel is an audible level, using a program called Vox. I extracted the audio file from 1 of the tutorials, adjusted it in Vox, re-imported it into the file.

If you would like to hear how it came out, I can send it. Just let me know how and where. It's not too difficult a process so I will probably be doing all my files like this. I would be willing to share these.

Yes, please send me the file (martin@cheetah3d.de , 20 MB max.). I would be interested to hear how loud it is.

on a side note, VLC player allows to crank the audio up to 400%.

Hi Martin - I sent a small clip of the file to the address you posted.

Hi,
I got that file. Thank you very much. Your file sounds pretty good.

How did you reimport the sound into the movie. In the old Quicktime 7 player I found a button to extract the sound. But I couldn't figure out how to import it back into the mov file.

In quicktime pro there is a function called "add to selection and scale" in the edit menu. So as long as the extracted audio still has the same start point as the video, and you have the whole clip (that you are pasting into) selected, it will paste it as a layer. You can then delete the original audio track or disable it.
