Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a pack of audio files to add to the background audio section for the playfields in Pinball FX and Pinball M on PinUp Popper. Has anyone already created or found files that would work well? Any suggestions or links would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance for your help! : ​

I would suggest to use the integrated recording utility of PUPplayer (PopperAutoRecord.exe). With this tool you can choose tables to record PF, BG, DMD.

This tool uses ffmpeg. In some cases its necessary install OBS to record videos. I have described the hole part in my docu chapter 25.8.5, Link in my footer

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve been using the video recording feature quite a lot already, but I can't seem to find the audio section. I have all my tables in video format, but without audio, so I was wondering if there’s an audio files pack available for Pinball FX. Or, if you know how to record just the audio, I’d appreciate any guidance. Thanks again!

For practical reasons, I don't think it would be a good idea to use downloaded video or audio files, as they often don't exactly match the table. And then the sound has to be synced to the video.

PUPplayer doesn't do magic. It simply uses ffmpeg to record video and audio. Look at the parameters for this in the recordstart.bat file. Are they correct?

ffmpeg is very complex and there are cases in which recording an audio device doesn't work, e.g. if it has a ' in the name. That was the case for me with a Soundblaster Audigy sound card. So I switched the recording to OBS, as the audio channel is then also recorded in Future Pinball. OBS is also easier to configure than ffmpeg.

I modified the recordstart and recordstop script for this and added logging. Nailbuster has rewritten these recording scripts with version 1.5 compared to version 1.4, which is not an advantage.
There is no help other than to dive in these scripts to understand how they work. Unfortunately, nailbuster has not explained this well on his site.
I explained the installation of OBS in chapter 22 and the scripts in 25.8.5
The scripts are part of my script package v1.2. and can be found in the "Scripts and Programs" directory as a zip file.

Actually, I can't record the audio. Thank you for the information; I'll try with OBS. As for synchronization, I'm not interested; in fact, I prefer having only the table's music in the frontend navigation, without any special effects. I'll get to work right away!  ​
