Fun with Audio: YouTube to Game Soundbites


I played with the audio for Crush Crush Healthcare/Hopital - I can't actually decide if I like HealthCare or Hospital better - but the audio is always fun for me, particularly the music and I can get lost in it. The sound bites were a bit of a pain to extract down to the game level and here is what I did: 

  • I found some news clips on YouTube and watched some, thinking about keywords that would explain the character's actions
    • Politicians never disappoint and there is always something to work with
    • There were some videos that were more marketing focused with background music - I thought the clips might be short enough that one could overlook (overhear?) the music but that wasn't the case
  • I screen recorded the video clips that had the soundbites I wanted
    • I used Windows Gamebar but Zoom or CamStudio or something else would work
    • I know there are some apps to do YouTube to Audio but didn't try them - open to recommendations
  • I used VLC Media Player to convert to audio
  • And then into Audacity to extract the soundbites
    • Export Range: Current Selection was a great help in Audacity to highlight and export all the chunks quickly
