Prompt Project Build Process
The build process converts all .wav files to the format selected in the Project Properties dialog box. For example, a project contains original recordings made at 44.1-kHz pulse code modulation (PCM), but the project properties are set to produce 8-kHz a-law. In this case, the build process places the converted versions in the compiled .prompts file. The original recordings remain untouched in the .promptdb file.
Select the Use filler for missing waveforms check box to generate placeholder wave data for entries without prerecorded audio.
Select a volume normalization option in the Project Properties dialog box:
- None applies no volume normalization.
- Maximize peak per waveform adjusts volume to maximize the highest peak.
Match to promptdb recording matches volume to a specific .wav file in a .promptdb file. Enter the name of the .promptdb file in the promptdb name box, and then enter the name of the .wav file in the recording wave name box.
