Title: Divideo Custom Weapon Sounds
Post by: Divideo on February 25, 2010, 02:54:09 am
Hey, not sure where to post this, but I think it would be a better sound for the DD44.  I made this with audacity and Native Instruments.

Super quiet and really distorted. It sounds kinda like a baseball bat hitting sheet metal.

I think the N64 sound was higher fidelity then that.

Sounds like no gun I've ever heard, sounds like a ball being dropped onto sheet metal.

Belive it or not, this is actually close to the original. Needs a better trail/echo though.

It is, and it does. Needs a volume boost as well.
Though no offense, but if I feel like using the original GE007 SFX, they're standing by in a folder already. (Or would download if I didn't have 'em.)

I really thought this sounded like a gun, not sheet metal.  And yea, it sounds similar to the DD44, but quite a bit different.  If it needs to be louder.. that isn't a problem.  In my opinion, this would be a better sound for the DD44

LOL, have you ever shot a gun before?

I have shot a pump shotgun one time, and a Nazi German Luger.  That was pretty cool.  Ok, well I can see that you guys are quite picky.  I will work on another one

It's cute that he calls it better without hearing the opinions first :P Especially since the aftermath confirmed that is maybe not the case.

I went 12 rounds trying to emulate the original and decided to blend high quality elements to where it currently is. Low fidelity sux and this is a good mix. Considering beta 3, the official sound now is epic.

It was actually closer to the original than the lot of you ruhtards made it out to be.

I called it as well.

It doesn't matter how close it was, the quality of the sound was terrible and his title was "BETTER" which is a contradiction.

I'm not saying it's better, for the record.

Post by: Divideo on February 26, 2010, 09:01:39 pm
The only reason why I called it BETTER was because it is in fact better than the crappy sound that is currently being used.  I did not contradict myself because I am entitled to my own opinion.  The sound for the DD44 right now just doesn't sound right to me.  It sounds weak.  DD44 was an awesome weapon in goldeneye 64, and I think it deserves better than what it has right now.  Not saying mine is the right one, but its better than the one currently

Better in your personal opinion though, that doesn't automatically make it better in everyone elses oppinion.

People have different tastes, some people find certain pitches more appealing than others. Some people are tonedeaf, others are able to identify the sound of a pin dropping during a thunderstorm.

It's not better, it's just different. To me it sounds worse.

@Divideo, sorry, but it sounds like shit. so, it´s NOT better. the sound of the current DD44-version is good enough.

I dont think anyone should beat down anyones efforts for or against his claims. But fact is, we are the team creating these assets, so for the most part what we do is what we stand by unless amended in future of our own directives.

He can call it better, but its not written in stone that his opinion is fact. So for that thinking, should he call it better in the face of the our professional production? Maybe not. Still, freedom of speech I guess.

Since his sound and engineers edit is available to the public as 3rd party, this topic has supplied the community with its option to use them :) enjoy if you chose too.
===========

Im going to repeat the mod objective in regard to sound design.

Recreating the nostalgia while making each sound file seem correct to the assets and atmosphere WE produce for a modern engine.

So, no fan or dev should be thinking that making our official weapons sound "exactly" like the originals is a mission priority to adhere to, or that we are failing at good sound design because certain ones do not sound exactly alike to the low quality n64 level. There is always a reason and not everyone can be made pleased.

Community projects are very welcome, rips are not for those who suggested using rips as an option. Bear that in mind.
Title: New sound for KF7

New sound for KF7 Soviet.

Oh dear.

You're not going to make 27 seperate threads are you?
Title: Re: New sound for KF7

I only made this sfx because people were telling me too

Well we can't have the KF7 sound a thread titled "Another attempt at a new DD44 sound.", can we.

Not terrible, but this one doesn't really sound like a gun at all. It might pass in say a much older FPS, but not here.
Maybe if it had some echo or some kind of oomph to it.

How are these..

You're gonna get sick of my nitpicks, but now they're sounding too deep.
It's really hard to explain in text what to listen for...
Title: Re: New sound for KF7

I tuned it higher.  Tell me if it needs more
Title: Re: New sound for KF7
Post by: Divideo on February 27, 2010, 11:23:49 pm
Actually here is a better sounding version of the last.  cleaner, and less metallic sound
Title: Re: New sound for KF7
Post by: Rodney 1.666 on February 28, 2010, 12:22:05 am
Actually the 4th sound makes more sense. All the weapons have an echo of some sort.
Still not sure I would use it when compared to the current, but you're sort of getting there.
Title: Re: New sound for KF7
Post by: Divideo on February 28, 2010, 12:23:56 am
well that would be cool if you guys used it!
Title: Re: New sound for KF7
Post by: Mangley on February 28, 2010, 01:35:01 am
These sounds aren't too bad really, I prefer them to the current sound, but that has been around since beta 1 or earlier I believe. It would be best if you keep these all in one thread rather than create a new thread per weapon. This could come together as quite a nice custom soundpack for GE:S.

But remember, they have real sound designers working on the mod. What they do is much more advanced than simply tweaking equalization settings of pre-existing sounds in Audacity. They already did a fantastic job overhauling and recreating the shotgun sounds, klobb and magnum sounds in Beta 4 from what they used to be.

Merged with DD44, now just put all your new weapon sounds in this topic.

Suggest you go back and edit the first post with links to your DD44, and KF7 sounds.

Well I am no noob when it comes to creating sound and music.  I may not be a professional sound designer.. but this stuff is easy for me.  And I am not using sounds that came with audacity, or are "pre-existing sounds".  In fact there aren't any sounds that come with audacity, not mine anyway.  I used a bunch of different programs like Magix music mix, native instruments, and audacity.  If you guys ever feel that certain sounds could be improved, than let me know, and I will take a shot at it.  To show you my creative side, check out my video links.
