anyone have a good WAV Alarm file?

Hi,

I want to use a good wav file for the alerts. I need one that sounds for a long time... is 5 or 10 or 15 or 20 seconds or something long.

I want it to be able to wake me up (gently.. no air raid siren or fog horn

does anyone have a long WAV file that is good for alarms / alerts?

Why not make your own? I use "Audrey - UK English" AT&T Natural Voice to send all my chart alarms and wakeup calls. Nothing like a sweet English lass whispering to you under your pillow (speaker), "Rising Price Alert". You can make your own by typing in your text in the text box at the AT&T Lab site and choose whatever voice you wish. Then save the .wav file and place in your MT4 sounds directory folder.

One day i was out in my kayak in our back yard river and came back inside and my wife told that "Audrey" has been talking her head off about "Chart Alert, Chart Alert" !!! Glad my pillow speaker is on at nite.

haha accrete that is funny stuff. I guess when im up at 4am I can have "crystal" talk to me and keep me company in those lonely morning hours

I use a little Nirvana.

Just take your favorite CD, rip the songs you want into WAV format, place them in the MetaTrader/sounds directory and then use whichever one's you want. You can also use a sound editing program to cut the song down.

cool Thom, never would have thought of that. I'm impressed, it sounds so natural. For some reason, it does sound more important when the British woman speaks

Well, my wife isn't British, but, I can say that when she speaks, I listen Hmm, I wonder what I could have her record for me that would get my attention on an alert

LOL, yea funny how that UK English voice perks the ol ears up? Audrey is aparently the most sophisticated voices to have come out of the AT & T labs. They actually had the real Audrey speak thousands of words and sentences to get the voice inflections to reflect the current state-of-the-art. Very nice. In fact i've had Audrey "read" the Bird Watching In Lion Country PDF book over a dozen times to me, several of them through the pillow speaker while i slept at nite!

Fun technology.

Oh, on listening to "wives", yup, 24ish years of listening to mine, and it's still sweet to my soul : ) Of course there are those rare occasions that one of her sentences may begin with "Thomas Gerald..." then i know i'm in deeeeeep dooodooo.

; ) Thom

PS. LOL. Merlin, i broke 1000 posts, do i get my embroidered toilet seat cover?

Since I talk to myself anyway I always record my own messages. Hearing my own voice in the wee hours of the morning (I'm in US Central Standard Time zone) doesn't startle me like an alarm clock does.

I record something like "Wake up. Wake up. The pound is going long. Wake up. Wake up." I always make sure that it's a long enough recording to actually get through that thick fog of sleep.
