Or you can add them, but Voicemod crashes or plays strangely when trying to play them.

Example on Voicemod V2:

The reason for this issue is that the file has a library format that is not supported for Voicemod.

 

We’re going to explain how to change the file to use it on Voicemod.

 

You need to upload the sound to TUNA, our official User-Generated content tool, and import it from there:

  • Then, click on "Upload a sound".

  • And drag and drop an MP3 or upload a file just clicking on "Choose a File"*:
    *NOTE: Currently there is a limitation for audios longer than 5 minutes and, if the audio is longer than 45", you have to choose which part to upload. Please read the last part of the article if you need to upload files longer than 5 minutes or clips longer than 45".

  • Fill in all the fields and upload the file.

If you need to upload files longer than 5 minutes or clips longer than 45" on V2, you have to use another tool: Audacity.

 

You need to use a program like Audacity to change the file's settings. After importing the file on Audacity you can export it by changing these settings.

You can download Audacity from here: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/

You will need to install the optional FFmpeg library that allows Audacity to import and export a much larger range of audio formats: https://lame.buanzo.org/ffmpeg64audacity.php 

After installation, you have to install the FFmpeg library. Then, open your .mp3 on Audacity and export as MP3 - Bit Rate Mode: CONSTANT

In the next screenshots, you can see how to make these changes.

 

After exportation, your file should be able to be imported to Voicemod.
