gleeful 0 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 It might surprise you but up until now I have been so busy mapping and modelling, that I never got around to placing any sounds. Well, yesterday I did for the first time and I'm in awe - the quality and quantity is already amazing and really makes your maps come alive! So thank you everyone for your excellent work - it is much appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Schatten 6 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Thanks gleeful, the feedback is most welcome. Keep an ear open for stuff like popping in loops, hissing or other oddities - we have very little beta feedback on sounds yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dram 123 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Keep an ear open for stuff like popping in loops, hissing or other oddities - we have very little beta feedback on sounds yet. At one point I listened to most of the sfx sounds just to see what they sound like and heard no problems , so you guys are doing really well atm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SneaksieDave 40 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Hah, I was just posting the same type of comment in a different thread. Agreed 100%, our sounds (ambients especially) are awesome. To repeat what I said in the other thread... more, more! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saxmeister 9 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 At the same time the sound guys should be thanking you all for your incredible artwork, modeling, and programming. The promo video was incredible and what little I've seen of the in-game stuff is amazing and totally blows away what TDS was trying to be! It's great to be on such a talented team of individuals!

Darkness_Falls 73 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Thx for the feedback. I would like to create some more audio, but haven't figured out my keyboard dilemma yet. I hope to see some test maps soon with some ambient sounds/music going on, so we can get a better feel of what is working well and what isn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SneaksieDave 40 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I can say for sure at least one is working. (snow.map) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darkness_Falls 73 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Oh yes, and I saw that. It was awesome to hear the ambients there... thanks for doing that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_Atti_ 33 Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 I think all sounds are great the only exception are the rain sounds. Weather rain01 loop sounds good. But 02 is like someone having a shower..03 even worse..reminds me of far shower + someone pissing on cobblestones nearby 04 sound like a campfire by a river.. with that much pouring i think the drips should be a lot more serious. The other sounds i found really good, but those rain ambients i found strange the first time i heard them.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SneaksieDave 40 Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 I'm not sure which it is at the moment but at least two of them are used in rain.map. One is the outside raining sound, and the other is the "window closed muffled indoors" sound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gildoran 0 Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Perhaps rain 02 could be fixed by using some kind of low-pass filter? I think the reason it sounds like it's in a shower is because it has a lot of high-frequency noises, indicating a small enclosed space. Rain 03 sounds fine to me. Perfect for where a rain gutter meets the street. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_Atti_ 33 Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 i think its rain 3 used outside and 4 inside.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OrbWeaver 664 Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 The quality of the ambient sounds is great. My only comment is that they could perhaps be made more "ambient", as a lot of them have volume changes, percussive and transient sounds which reduce their capacity to be used as background loops. Most of the ambients from T1/2 were very short and simple, perhaps only 2 or 4 bars long without much happening in them. The mapper could then use layered ambients along with incidental sounds to build up the tension where necessary. At the very least, could some dynamic range compression be used to avoid the situation where you set the volume based on the start of the ambient, only to be startled by a sudden loud "BONG!" that happens half-way through the loop?
