<description><![CDATA[People have indirectly mentioned that this won't install on 64-bit versions of Windows, at least recent versions, because the driver isn't signed.  Using unsigned code, much less unsigned drivers, is a stunningly bad software development practice.  The developer should know that this won't work on modern 64-bit OSes.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[After giving this a good review yesterday I have now had to uninstall this from my system due to it using a driver that is not a "digitally signed driver".  Windows 7 wont allow me to use any driver unless it is so digitally signed.  I just hope it does not cause me any other problems!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The free version 6 of Avast! added automatic sandboxing of unknown applications that try to perform actions common to known malware. It doesn't mean the file is bad, it lets you decide. If you run the file sandboxed it will not be able to make any changes to the system. In other words, a sandboxed installer will not be able to actually install anything. You have to choose to run the file normally and then it will work.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I installed this product with few problems.  I had no difficulty in getting the serial number from the company web site.  One irritant was that there was a pop-up window informing me this was not Microsoft certified compatible; however the window appeared under the other installation windows and I had to go digging to try and find why the installation had paused.

Once installed, I tried to use the record feature to see what the software was capable of.  I was surprised there was no sound level indicator while the recording was in progress.  While this would have been very nice, it isn't strictly essential.  After recording for about ten seconds, I tried to play back the recording and heard... nothing.  After poking around a little, and looking over the Advanced settings, I found that the sound device has not been set to my Logitech headset (what idiot put something as basic as the input device selection under the Advanced menu).  I changed the input and repeated the recording test several times.  This time... the same thing happened; nothing but silence.  I already have all the utilities I need that don't work, so I think this one goes in the dust bin.  I was glad I hadn't paid money for the product.  I may work for others; but for me it was unfortunately a disappointing waste of time.

While the interface was decent, I did not find it easy or intuitive to locate features I might want.  It felt like I had to hunt for items that should have been easy to find.  Given that I could not make the product work, I uninstalled it and then ran Advanced System Care Pro to see what garbage got left in the registry.  I was pleasantly surprised.  Only one Invalid Shortcut was detected (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu2\Programs\VoizGame).  Most uninstalls are fairly messy, this one seems to be pretty good.

If this works for you, great.  If not, be glad you didn't pay for it.  I look forward to a future version of this product that is a little more robust, with better human factors interface, and which actually works.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#23 promytius

Thanks for your earlier post.  There are 3 flavors of this software, Basic, Gold and Diamond, the one you use.  When looking at the comparison table, I noticed that the  Diamond version had the below abilities the Gold lacked:
   
  Morph multiple files at a time
  Convert file format of multiple files at a time 
  Frequency Morpher (2-dimension graph)        
  Formant Morpher (Pitch, Smoothing, 4 Formant bands)
  Voice Equalizer (HiStrech, LowStrech, LoShift, Smoothing)
  Robot Voice (Frequency &amp; Balance)
  Sound Limiter (Release &amp; Attached time)
  Noise Reduction (Reduction &amp; Threshold)       
  
But I didn't understand how the above features doubled the software's value from roughly $40 to $100 (possibly because of a lack of prior bckg in this type of software).
I'd appreciate it if you (or any other contributor) would give a brief explanation to help a neophyte choose between the two.

Thanks]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[@philip turn down your mixer volume settings to reduce feedback and yes headphones are a must. 

This software works very well especially once you get into the fine tuning options. I'm sure with the proper settings this would make a fine set up for voice creation to make game character voices. Overall I really like the quality of the program. 

Stability was a bit of an issue as the program did crash on me more than once.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[@#29 (Jeania)
Hi jeania just thought I'd mention avast has been asking me if I want to sandbox stuff too recently - even when just opening some of my programs that I've had for ages that I know are perfectly safe.
Without encouraging you to ignore avast's warnings completely of course, I wouldn't worry too much. Perhaps because of some update of the avast program sandboxing is now going to be a more regularly suggested option.
(I too have found that you can't open a program in the sandbox that you want to install because yes you won't be able to find it!)
Good luck whatever you decide.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This is not so great. It doesn't show up on their site as a product its so damn old, and I'm not too enthusiastic about how well it'll work overall. The packs of voices it says you can download don't work with this program, you have to buy their flagship one instead. I'm going to keep it for now, but its not all that good. If you need to register, read the readme...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#3: <em>"Requires some kind of registration at their website where they send you a serial number. When I entered my info, it said my email was invalid and I could go no further..."</em>

While it's certainly possible that was an early glitch <em>[I was asleep at the time of posting]</em>, when I tested later their web page/site was not picky at all... Some of the cable ISPs make you use longer addresses, e.g. (at) twmi.rr.com , which doesn't always work with registration filters, so this is something I always look at. Since the number appears right there on the page once you submit your info, imagine you could always use one of those temp e-mail address services.

*  *  *


#13: <em>"Sorry to stick a downer on this but, doesnt VoizGame throw up child protection issues, especially as its using ingame chat?"</em>

Yes, &amp; I think that's why for a long time [years in fact] you didn't see voice changing software available -- it just sort of disappeared. That said, it's always been possible for predators to disguise themselves, hopefully parents/guardians know that, &amp; both oversight &amp; parental controls are used... WOW has them, but it does take some small effort on the part of parents/guardians. The flip side of the coin is why should everyone be penalized just so they don't have to bother?

*  *  *


#18: <em>"... will it work as a standalone ie without using it in a game?"</em>

Yes. Think of it as an FX box you plug your mic [or line in cable] into, then plug the box into your PC/laptop. Your mileage may vary -- Google/Bing &amp;/or check out forums re: AVnex software -- as it doesn't apparently work right out of the box with all hard &amp; software on every system, but it should hopefully just act as a go between, sit in the middle between your audio in &amp; out, whether that *out* is your speakers, an audio file, or an app/service.

*  *  *

#20: <em>"I’m certainly not confident enough on my own so I need a product to boost my ego! Is this virtual viagra? No thank you."</em>

:-) I take it then that you're not 11-12 years old &amp; going through your voice change. ;-)

On a more serious note, I did read that when voice chat 1st became available within WOW, most female gamers stuck with text. I do not know how true that is/isn't <em>[please don't be one of those who like to shoot the messenger]</em>. 

*  *  *

#21: <em>"... however I’m still waiting for the registration e-mail"</em>

??? - serial number or key shows up on the web page when you click the button to submit your info. 

*  *  *

#23: <em>"This installer set off my avast antivirus software, and when I ran the program threatfire alerted on it. I uninstalled, hope I didnt damage my system. "</em>

AV VoizGame can use its own driver or a Hook mode -- AV software doesn't always like Hooks -- Google/Bing on "Software Hooks" &amp; you get hits like: Wikipedia http://goo.gl/mVoI7 . AFAIK the only thing today's GOTD can/will do that might effect Windows is installing its virtual driver -- search for &amp; delete or rename vcsvad.sys for the quickest way to get rid of it.]]></description>
