What program do you guys use to create these sounds and more specifically, songs?

Also, how do you convert Wave files to MP3 Format? I want to make files official songs. The "Convert Audio Format" always fails when I try to convert it.

I use dbpoweramp for converting. It's fast and versatile.

I'm not really a sound technician guy, but getting Audacity with the LADSPA plugin pack is a good start if you have a good microphone and a quality soundcard. (AC'97 doesn't count).

I use NCH Switch sound converter (good for batch conversions), older versions are freeware (I use v1.29).

I kind of solved the conversion one myself, even with the Windows feature. (Convert Audio Format) They were Wave files. Instead of going straight to MP3, I convert them to WMA then MP3. It's only a minute of my time. No problem.

well, the more times you convert stuff, the more quality you lose.

itunes can also convert formats, just go to import settings under preferences, and select what you want from the list.

So if you set it to MP3, you can right click on a song and select "Create mp3 version"

WinAmp which is what I use, is a very good prog for converting. You can even get an xcc plugin for it for converting other sounds for c&c games as well. I think WinAmp still offers a free version, but not sure. You'll have to check that your self
