Audio Tweaking (dev branch)

[megagoth1702 252]

I talked to the audio guys today, they are 120% busy with Tanoa right now (audio lead spent 13hrs in office on saturday, but the environment sounds epic) but the issue of the "sounds management" system is aknowledged and will be tackled once there is time.  :ph34r:

This guy apparently had the same issue as you: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/186835-community-upgrade-project-cup-terrains/page-38#entry3034050

29 Palms map caused the problem for him.

Could not watch the whole 7min video but like in the post above - make sure the issue is there with vanilla arma3 on vanilla terrains. Sometimes errors sneak into mod's configurations.

According to your video you are using modifications.

Please deactivate all kind of mods and try to repdroduce the issue again.

Maybe some of the mods are causing these extremely loud noises.

[shadowmarine578 11]

@dwarden, for what it's worth, I can not reproduce that audio bug in that previous video I posted on the current builds.  Nice!

I adore sounds in forest.You guys slaved away and it shows.You got my admiration!

[R3vo 2654]

Just wanted to thank you for your hard work, it definitely payed off. Walking through the forest during rain and a thunderstorm conveys an incredible atmosphere. Not to mention that I expect a gorilla to attack me any minute.

[St. Jimmy 272]

Thunder finally fixed!

Not sure if this kosha in here or not but the thunder and rain sounds on trees are amazing... Youtube compresses the audio a bit, it's much crisper and has nicer bass in game but still... (advise headphones).

[CaptainAzimuth 714]

Can we re-release Arma 3 to be X-Rated? Because i just turned the Overcast to full while in the forest, and i think i just had an eargasm. Is that what happens when your ears tingle uncontrollably when hearing something amazing? This is getting a little too sexy.

[xxgetbuck123 945]

Omfg that thunder is turning me right on!! Thankyou, unknown BI hero!

I love the rain-on-the-roof sounds. I hope this gets expanded to ground vehicles and Altis buildings as well

[megagoth1702 252]

1. Arma audio has not been getting proper attention for too long, then Dusa came.

2. The QUALITY of the work on Tanoa's environment sounds is a taste of what can be done if good audio guys are given time and programmers. 

3. Movement through bush and rain on stuff sounds were recorded by raiding all plants in BI's studio in Mnisek, putting them into the studio and floodng the place. Crazy. They could not record rain outside because of birds so they recorded everything inside. The rain you hear in Tanoa (at least big parts of it) is not real. :D Hahaha.

 

Bushes, trees and roofs (maybe other surfaces too) emit their own rain-droplet sounds. It was a huge work to make that possible so although some parts of arma3 sound bad it's just because they did not have the time to look at it in the way they looked at Tanoa's environment. :)

 

So yeah. Praise, praise, praise.

I think the audio is truly the stand-out feature of Apex!

[Vasily.B 529]

Can we expect positione ambiend sounds for Altis/Stratis? There is almost no sounds, or they are too quiet now.

We may see them, but i expect the devs are busy working on Apex ;)

[CaptainAzimuth 714]

Gee, i hope so. It'll finally bring an end to the endless Cicada howling in the middle of open area's, and would make room for more ambient sounds, and an all around full feel of immersion.

Are the interior shooting sounds still WIP? They have a strange metallic reverb that for whatever reason really grates on my nerves. Other that this one issue I really love the audio improvements. The game has come a long way and Tanoa sounds awesome!
