It's not hard to make a sound font:

Just pick out your favorite sounds from DBZ... then give me one thousand dollars.

-DONE-

I think that after listening to Novastar's "Blackstar" font, I can say that with a good resonance chamber, there should be no problem getting it to sound deep enough to sound like a truck. Resonance is the key here. When I remove the outer sleeve from my saber, and the speaker is basically just sitting out in the open air, it sounds like crap. When the speaker is sitting about 3" deep in a 13" brass tube, it sounds awesome.

Very good to know! Wasn't sure if it could apply to a speaker so small, I know such is the case in bass cabinets.

Looks like i'm gonna have to take the gloves off for this one! I'm mainly interested in what route he took. 1 of the reasons I enjoy dbz is the great sound effects of the energy. And since I heard of CF have toiled with the idea of adopting some of the effects for out purposes.

Chicken font!! fantastic idea!

i think the talking saber font should sound like the depressed robot from Hitchhikers Guide,

How about a totally random sounds font? Every time you use a saber function, it activates a totally random sound, whether it be from another font or a bank of random sounds like a car door closing or like a toilet flushing or something.

This is a pretty good point, and... it's just the facts of how sound works. Additionally, it doesn't hurt to have a speaker that is more "happy" with bass sounds for its dynamic range.

Overall--you will RARELY find a speaker with a tiny magnet (in other words if your speaker is REALLY flat) with any kind of bass "punch"... but you obviously can't go and put a 60mm speaker in a saber either. Like all things in life, you have your advantages and disadvantages. You just have to pick and choose sometimes.

For "darkside" sabers, I recommended a more "bass-like" speaker. For "lightside" sound fonts... you can use the 28mm ones found in the store. They work fine for most any saber overall ANYHOW.

well. i have an idea that may save the light saber problem with sound quality and bass issue. changing out the speaker with one of those used on an
I-home or other like I-docking station thing, is about the same size but of supurb quality, i built a mini sound system for my DS useing those and they sound wonderful,

is a good example. those may be slightly too big. but those are the type of speakers I'm refaring to
