tpw 2315 Posted June 10, 2016 I'll join in the chorus of praise for the beautiful environmental sounds on Tanoa, all the sound people have really lifted their game! However, one of the jungle sounds is suspiciously similar to the bastard Kookaburra in my street that wakes me up at 430 most mornings. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy Old Man 3545 Posted June 10, 2016 What's still missing is the sound that rain makes on your stuff. Sound of rain hitting your clothes or helmet would be a great addition! Cheers 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teabagginpeople 398 Posted June 10, 2016 Just another pat on the back for sound squad. Killing it. P.s new a10 gun sound sound sound. Sorry it just slipped out.. ;D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joostsidy 685 Posted June 13, 2016 Are there plan/developments to increase the distance effects over a larger distance? I'm sometimes disoriented in the sound scape as sound attenuation makes sounds seem further away than the sources. I know the Arma terrain/universe is a little 'pinched' in distance, but I feel the soundscape sounds too pinched. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R3vo 2654 Posted June 13, 2016 The sound of multiply explosives exploding at once should be tweaked a bit. Don't think that's how it sounds in RL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x3kj 1247 Posted June 13, 2016 that's caused by resonance (i'd think?). If you play multiple sounds at once and do not alter them randomly (change in frequency) you will have this issue (not just in Arma, in general). Anyone remember what happened in space engineer when firing multiple chainguns at once in early versions? (Not sure if fixed now). Was the exact same thing.

Vasily.B 529 Posted June 13, 2016 Well, explosion sounds should be increased, so we would not meet same explosion sound twice in minute. Frequency changer same as in soniccrack should be good option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone remember what happened in space engineer when firing multiple chainguns at once in early versions? (Not sure if fixed now). Was the exact same thing. It's called phasing. Here is an example: https://youtu.be/1pJOkhPTpLo?t=162 So the reason for this is that both explosions are played "nearly at the same time" and due to one sound being played just a few ms after the other the phasing happens and certain frequencies get canceled out which produces this typical phasey sound. Frequency randomization should take care of this but it is configured too small in the config I can make a small addon that fixes this if anyone is REALLY interested but I am not sure if it is worth the time. Explosions like these dont really happen that often. I will report this and suggest better values to the sound team. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainAzimuth 714 Posted June 13, 2016 After testing a number of vehicles and weapons, i can already tell there's a lot of work to be done. Thank goodness this the release date is 11 days into Q3. Weapons The Type 115 sounds = Good Protector 9mm Suppressed = Not Good (sounds too loud suppressed as well as sounding like a 5.56 rifle when suppressed) Ak-12 Sup/Non-Sup = Ok CMR-76 = Best sounding in the game AK-74u = Good CAR-95 = Good Lim-85 = BAD (Sound used for a different 7.62 weapon, thus and does NOT sound fitting of a 5.56 LMG) Spar-16 = BAD (sounds... almost muted? It sounds like i'm shooting out of hollow Bamboo gun, the best way i can describe it, not like an assault rifle) Spar-17 = Good PM-9 = Same as other 9mm's, can't really complain about this one. RPG-7 = Good. Vehicles Prowler = Good Qilin = BAD (sounds for the Pick-Up Truck reused) MB 4WD = BAD (sounds for the Pick-Up Truck reused) Xi'an = BAD (It sounds like the UAV fan mixed with the weak sound of a jet engine. Given the size and capability of the aircraft, it should sound much more powerful, and due to the combination of fan and jet engine, and based on the size of the fan, it should be a powerful higher toned whine, but the jet engine should sound more apparent, sort of like a turbo prop, but more powerful sounding.) V-44X BlackFish = BAD (same thing as the Xi'an, it sounds like any other heli in the game, and not unique. In fact almost all helicopters sound the exact same during start up, or when running, and this is a major issue with the series) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R3vo 2654 Posted June 13, 2016 Blackfish needs more base, similar to the huron. It's a beast but doesn't sound like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragonfire43560 27 Posted June 14, 2016 The rpg7 sounds very very bad. I think it is using the default titan sounds. It sounds like a model rocket taking off. It should be one loud pop or bang. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FruitBat 1 Posted June 15, 2016 Sorry just too let you know I reported a Dev branch audio related issue in the thread below, however this thread was perhaps the best place for it. Hope it can be resolved or some info passed on if it is intentional. https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/143930-general-discussion-dev-branch/page-1001#entry3044795 EDIT: I can confirm creating new .lip files with the latest tools does not fix the problem, so I assume it is something to do with the processing of the .ogg and .lip files.

joostsidy 685 Posted June 16, 2016 Some (?) of the weapons have falling cartridges sound, but my feeling is that they sound artificial (too regular) and the sound isn't great (I'm not sure what is should sound like). What do you guys think of the spent cartridge sounds and are there plans to further improve them. Or possibly just leave them out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R3vo 2654 Posted June 16, 2016 I don't know if vehicle sounds are still WIP, but just in case they are. Any chance you could sneak in sounds for dirt hitting the wheel housings? Listen: https://youtu.be/dM1LUntAcfg?t=2m45s Does not need to be that load of obstrusive, since it is a rallye car in the video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teabagginpeople 398 Posted June 16, 2016 Sound team I have a serious issue. I can no longer tell when it is actually pissing rain and windy outside or if it's just coming from my headset. I know I'm in the arma jungle and it's raining but I keep looking out over my real domain. It got me killed in an intense mission last night. Splendid splendid work.

CaptainObvious 95 Posted June 16, 2016 What do you guys think of the spent cartridge sounds and are there plans to further improve them. Or possibly just leave them out? They should be quite a lot quieter on soft surfaces, brass hitting sand or grass should be barely audible, concrete and other hard surfaces are a different matter of course.
