Post (kickass) onboard recordings links here and get a free sound mod! :DDD (DEFAULT VEHICLES ONLY)

[Doctor G.]

@dany080 : Hi, thanks for that proposition. I'll send you some samples that gives me trouble or a link to some audio that we could work on, and we'll see what is possible to do. By the way what tools are you using to reduce those noises? I don't know much about methods to enhance a sound but if such a task is possible, then there is an infinity of sources that would become usable and interesting.

 

@Urban : thanks, I don't know what is so complicated to understand in my requirements... Plus all these comments that I have made previously for such bad stuff should help, but many people don't read :(

1 minute job!

 

Ok,i done this in 1 minute,just to show you guys what u can do...It is far from finished but when u hear the diference...I can also make looping samples that u will not even notice that is looping ;) I use Audacity 1.3 beta,Sound Forge Pro 10(advanced mode,not for beginers..) and couple of more tools that u all have...

 

This samples are from that video above!

NOTE:this is just a fast edited sound!Nothing special,no hard work...It will sound like in car whit windos closed(or close to that) but it was not done 4 game,but to show that all other sounds except engine are almoust totaly removed,not just noise!!!

In the first audio there is a bit of echo in the cockpit and also some wind/gravel noises or something. The treatment that you applied removed these, but the bad part is that what remains of the engine sound isn't of any use to me : there is a strong echo, ugly artifacts in background and no basses anymore. At this point, I'd prefer to use the non-edited audio file for a better, more realistic result.

But maybe you did not push the process to its limits, is it possible to make something better with more time spent on it?

[dany080]

*facepalm*

 

I will do it like you do lol:NOTE:this is just a fast edited sound!Nothing special,no hard work...It will sound like in car whit windos closed(or close to that) but it was not done 4 game,but to show that all other sounds except engine are almoust totaly removed,not just noise!!!

 

It clearly say,just engine,bla bla bla...So,there is no exhaust sound in here and some ohter sounds,like wind,tires noise and litle rocks hiting the bottom part of car...Each sound can be isolated.So lets say that we isolate engine sound,but better,no echo etc,u can add bass,bit of click and crackle in low freq and much more...,than u can implement anythng u want in there!U can record exthaus from outside and add that in the sample etc. etc. etc. I see you limited yourself pretty well:confused: Sry on my English!

 

You know what they say..take it or leave it,what do you have to lose?

Allright, but here we are precisely interested in using sounds in a video game, so why not generating a file that you would consider as a good example of a nice audio basis for making samples instead of this file that won't convice anyone? I don't get it (maybe spending more time than just one minute?).

Well, please do those enhancements yourself so I can have a clearer idea, because for me, the audio in its current state is totally ruined and doing something with it is far beyond my capacities.

I simply think that, if you modify too much your audio with bandpass, highpass, lowpass or anything you will lose the realistic and natural aspect of the sound and it's exactly what I don't want. I prefer to keep the little noises that 95% of people won't even notice.

I don't see what you mean by "limiting myself", the simplier is the better to my opinion and it's not because you're going to use tons of effects, add exhausts or anything that it makes your sound better, rather the opposite...

What do I have to lose? Time of course, I've already lost my illusions :o

[chaseaker12]

 

Great Porsche sound for RT12 or something

[TDUFREAK500]

another one that would sound good on the RT12

 

[dany080]

My bad

 

Ok,my bad...Lets do it like this,send me a few samples u want to place in game and il see what i can do,if u dont like it we can just forget this ever happened...I will work one them until i fully finish,no 1 min job :)

I know time will not stop and time is what we dont have...but we all need it!

It is always trial and error,i learn as i go,as everyone else!

[Theaudiowner]

this is an sound of S6 there are dozen of movies but this is one in HD or doesn't it matter ? ..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

here you go enough videos ;)

[Urban]

And how do you think you can make a sound mod from those videos??? *facepalm*

Let's say that the Option Auto is kinda goodish but not good enough.

 

Have you ever seen the videos which Doctor G. uses?

[Theaudiowner]

no but this are not bad videos do you want a video from the car racing ??? kinda strange with an S6 :P

[Sponge]

To have a decent platform for sound mods, you'll need to have constant revs. A car racing all the time isn't a good idea, as the revs won't be constant for long enough. You'll want about a second of constant revs at each of the three stages (Low, Mid, High)

[Tombasss]

I found good samples for Lancia Delta Integrale,i can send it to your email if you want.

[wagnerpsc]

this video is useful for you doc?

here is some start and idle samples

 

what you think? :D

[Urban]

I know this is not a default vehicle, but if it is useful, it is a shame not do make this sound for Tool's new LFA.

Simply epic:

[Guest Sgt.Kanyo]

Well as I've said I kept looking on youtube and found this:

there are quite clear acceleration, deceleration and idle sounds, however I'm not sure if the quality is good enough. Well that's the best I can get from youtube. Car is obviously the 300C SRT8 ^^

This in my ears sounds like a good video of a ferrari 308, only thing missing is idle rpm . But i guess that should not be a problem to find easely.

[yo4321]

hi!!!

 

 

its not default but I like the sound of the Audi V10!!!!

maybe you can use it????

[TDUFREAK500]

too much background noise on the audi sound

[Doctor G.]

Well, I don't know for you guys, but making sound mods for a game that is supposed to have its server down in january 2011 (That VideoGame Blog TDU servers shutting down in 2011) kinda depresses me, I'm not very motivated anymore.

Maybe I'll finish one or two things that I've already started (Zonda, new traffic sounds) but it looks like it's the beginning of the end (that means no more requests here, sorry), too bad because I really liked it :(

[TDUFREAK500]

That sucks because there are people that still play offline that would want your mods

[Urban]

Agreed with TDUFREAK500

[Doctor G.]

I understand, but for my part I'm not going to play offline during hours/days (the time I need to test the mods) after almost 2 years of online gaming, it just sounds impossible... Believe me, I'm the first one to be sadened by this situation.

[superhyper]

DUHHHHH :fp2: Wasn't this "shutdown" discussed ages ago?

 

News Test Drive Unlimited servers will NOT be going offline from 2011 - Test Drive Unlimited: Central

[Doctor G.]

I don't know, I never tried to know, until yesterday when I found the info about the shutdown... But that wouldn't have changed anything...
