If I were you, I would go to http://www.vocabolaudio.com/ then grab the files you need. If you want to record the sounds yourself, I would invest in an good gaming headset and use the microphone on it. Then I would have downloaded a free program from download.com. Most of the programs have the functions your asking for (normalizing and cutting). If you want an awsome program and have a lot of money, I would go for coolEdit (now called Adobe Audition). The place you record may have some background noise, some programs can remove the noise. This gives better compression and better result. Finally save the file as MP3 or WMA (WMA problably better) since it gives better compression than wav. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
