The TDM sound appreciation thread...

[lost_soul]

This mod has some great ambient sounds. What's yours and why?

 

Some favorites of mine are:

basement01_loop.ogg -- Simple, but very creepy sounding. It gives me the chills.

church_kyrie01.ogg -- a beautiful piece of music, especially when the vocals become loud

desolation_loop.ogg -- another one that gives me the chills

haunted_spectral_loop.ogg -- makes the player tense... Every time I hear it I expect something to jump out at me.

mansion_outside.ogg -- really conveys the feeling of being a thief. This track never gets old.

solitude_loop.ogg -- One of the great piano tracks that is rarely used. Sotha (AKA the master of ambient sound placement) has used this one a few times.

haunted_eerie_loop.ogg -- has a sad/gloomy sound to it. I love it!

The backwards talking of the haunted sounds whilst I played the first 5 minutes of Flakebridge Monastery = Alone worth downloading the whole mod for. =-P

TDM has excellent ambient music and sounds, especially since v1.06

 

First time, when I played v1.06, I took off my headphones because I thought the new street sounds were actual real sounds.

Helps to have a sound card and good headphones.

 

I love to play TDM in a dark room, at night. The scary/spooky/moody/dark/errie/uncanny music makes the game so much more enjoyable.

TDM without music and without quality sound would, in my opinion, only be half as fun.

^^^ Agreed. I particularly like some of the city background sounds, coming muffled from inside the houses, they make you wonder if it's actually coming from the neighbours upstairs?! I'm still discovering sounds all the time, great depth, great quality. Amazing work.

Wow. If you open up haunted_voices03.ogg in Audacity and reverse it, you hear the following:

 

"Bough to the woods and offer up your flesh, woodsy man, for the woodsy lord."

 

Nice easter egg there. I remember trying this with the apparition speech in Thief but even after reversing it, I couldn't understand it.

Wow! If you have any chance to upload it on youtube or somewhere, it'll be great.

I thought it was all Viktoria's speech in the 2nd cut scene that had been messed with... =-?
