miles teg 1 Posted July 27, 2002 If anyone's interested I made up an updated version of GFX-707's MG42 with improved sounds on it. I sampled the MG42 sounds from the movie "Saving Private Ryan" added the decay from a gun shot sample, and then recorded the sounds of spent bullet casings with a microphone using some 5.56mm cases that I recorded by simply droping them a few at a time. That part simulated the sound of spent casings and belt links ejecting from the MG42. I then eq'ed and mixed the samples all together. It also took awhile to get the sample to loop properly without sounding wierd. Anyways I give full credit (except for the sound) to GFX-707 who did an excellent job converting the model to OFP. The edited versions are at: http://www.geocities.com/miles_teggd/MG42.html If anyone wants to use the machine gun sound please credit me as it took a lot of work to make it. However I hope other addon makers do use my sound for their MG-42's, and similar machine guns based on the MG42. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedStorm 0 Posted July 27, 2002 Very good! You managed to capture the amazing rate of fire this gun has and did a damn good job at it. Like I heard one of the veterans on Band of Brothers say: "It sounded like ripping canvas", which this sound modification imho does. Great work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great work.<span id='postcolor'> Thanks, although the credit for that part of the sound should go to the guy who did the truly amazing sound work in the movie "Saving Private Ryan". As far as I know they recorded an actual MG-42 firing blanks. To compensate for the sound of the blanks (which sounds a little different then a regular round), I boosted the bass eq on the sound a bit to give it a little more thunder. I also increased the high frequency content just a little bit. But the main thing I wanted was the sound of those belt links and bullet casings dropping to the ground cuz that is the main things that captures the realism of firing a machine gun I think. At least that's one of the sounds that I remember most from firing the M249 and the M60 in the Army. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
