3-filter the voice with a radio effect and convert them to proper format (good quality , low size)
Why filter the voice ? first because pilot wear headset, second it will help to mask that you recorded
the sound with a microphone sitting in front of your computer. (loud explosive bass due to breath etc etc)
and last but not the least because 22050 hz 16 bits is too much for the quality/size we want to reach,
FsP support of course 22050 format but your pack will be HUGE to download and a wast of size
as we can get a really good quality with lower sample rate.
So you'll question : why did we recorded the sound in 22050 and not directly in the good format ?
Because filters simply don't give any good result on lower sample quality so we must FIRST apply the filters
THAN lower the sample to the rate we want.
I recommend a final ratio of 8000hz 8bits mono wich give a very good result.
First a litle example so you can hear the difference.
Here the original sound in 22050 16 bits mono and big size of 202ko :

And here the final wav filtered and converted to 8000 hz 8 bits mono:

Now about filtering and converting there is two possible method:
1-I do it free for you PLEASE READ CAREFFULY BELOW IN THIS CASE
2-You do it yourself see below I explain some tips.
I DO IT FREE FOR YOU
You can understand I cannot spend many time on converting a pack as I have already a lot of work
so I'll do it only if the following condition are respected:
1-All wav a recorded in 22050 16 bits mono format
2-the pack have a minimum quality (I mean not your sister 4 old doing the hostess voice for example
3-The sound have a minimal quality (I cannot correct saturated sound, sound with reverb or such problems)
3-the pack is complete, either only the copilot voice or hostess voice but not half copilot sound done for example.
4-All the name of wav are correct (I don't want to spend 2 hours renaming the wav files)
5-You'll publish your pack so anyone can benefit of your work. (of course I would not publish it myself you keep the entire copyright)
In this case, send me your folder zipped by mail I'll send you back your pack by mail (click on my post profile Dansteph to get my email)
(if you have a doubt the conditions are met, send me only one sound and I'll tell you if it's ok I do it for you.)
DO IT YOURSELF
My filters scripts do a lot of step, normalize, correct the dynamic, apply filters, normalize again, convert to 8000hz 8 bits
if you know sound editing that may not be difficult but can be a long process if you do each sound manually.
here are some tips:
The "radio" voice effect is done by a "bell curve" frequency filter that start at 0db at 130hz raise to 0db at 505hz
and descent to 0 db again at 1650 hz.
You may normalise the volume before and after applying the filter to 100% or 90%
To get the final format convert your sound to 8000hz 8 bits mono and save your work.
