LokSound - Extracting a Single Horn From a Horn Package

Occasionally, after you find the correct LokSound sound file for a particular locomotive you will find that the horn package included with the file does not contain the correct horn (or the one you want it to have) for the engine and road name you are working with. This is usually due to pecularities of that road name and engine type and is discussed in this post.

How do we get around this and can you add the correct horn from another sound file to your current one? The answer is YES! 

RioGrandeFan has a tutorial on YouTube that demonstrates exactly how to accomplish this. He discusses work arounds that cover changes that have to be made to the file you are moving the horn into. In addition, he discusses the problems that can happen when doing this such as Not Enough Space. Other issues that can occur are also covered along with solutions.

If you ever find yourself in this situation take a look at the tutorial. It is suprisingly easier than you would think.


If you have an idea for a blog post here, let me know. If I can comment on it, I will or I'll see if someone else can and post it.
