I have a couple sound-related questions: (1)Is there any way to use ResEdit to convert the ASND resource (found in "World Builder" adventure games) into something that the "SoundPlay" application can play? (2)What is used to create the sounds that SoundPlay plays? (3)How the heck do you use the "CheapBeep" cdev? I put it in my System Folder and brought up the Control Panel, but I couldn't figure out how to assign a sound to the standard SysBeep... Any and all clues are greatly appreciated! -Ted ****************************************** Ted C.

Soundwave is an audio digitizer hardware device available from a company called Impulse. Soundwave comes with software of the same name, a hardware box that does the input translation in coordination with the sw and a microphone. Computerware has it for $146.

There used to be a program called SoundCap that would let you digitize sounds on the Mac (provided you had the accompanying digitizing hardware). There is now a new, more extensible program called SoundWave that does the same job. > (3)How the heck do you use the "CheapBeep" cdev?

You need to make a folder inside your System folder and put the sound files you like into that folder. You then use CheapBeep to select the appropriate folder, and then the sound file you want. You must specify the correct sampling rate for the sound (these are the buttons numbered from 1 to 4 in the cdev). Pressing the enter key will play the currently selected sound. Note that you must reboot for this to take effect. >Ted C.

Can anyone answer my first question, i.e., is there any way to extract get World Builder sounds (using ResEdit?) and massage them into a form that SoundPlay (or SuperPlay 4.0) will understand? -Ted
