[Taking Requests] Sound Scapes, Sound design..

[Neya]

I'll be done with Woozlez's request today, I'll work on your request tomorrow.

I currently have an Easter Egg in my map involving the detonation of a nuclear bomb. I do have the sound of an expl;osion for it, but it's not ominous enough to my liking. When I was a child, I loved to watch this show called "Sliders". In one of the episodes, they sent a nuclear missile into an asteroid to prevent it colliding with Earth. I'd love to have a sound similar to that: a nuclear explosion that sounds distant, but is still loud and ominous.
Here's the episode I'm talking about:

At approx. 34:15 you hear the nuclear explosion.
A sound like this would be super cool. Here's a screenshot of the nuke in action:

I already have a sound for the low continuous rumble you hear after that. I just need the explosion.
Thanks! Oh, and it's not urgent

To me, sound is incredibly important, no matter the theme. When I was working on a L4D2 arctic map, I went as far as to ask on a bird specialist forum what kind of birds I should search sounds of to fit the theme.
And when I made a creepy/haunted map, a lot of the people said it's the sound what made it really unsettling. I remember taking the stock Wilhelm scream, reversing it, slowing down the pitch and give it an echo. When people heard it they were like "OMG did you hear that?"

@Snowbat your request is complete.

I made it a little shorter than in the movie because otherwise it's too long for TF2.

Test it ingame and see if you want any adjustments made!

@coltnweston the map is in very very very early development stages, though it seems to be progressing well, you never know you might not finish it. Do come back when your map is nearing completion and I will make you what you need.

Hella needs sound effects for the black hole. It has temporary sfx taken from a Kirby game at the moment. You can see the three animations it has along with the current sfx here. Are you up for it?

Absolutely! Seems very interesting.

It's quite a challenge because a black hole doesn't make any sound in reality. But I'll do my best to make it as interesting as possible.

It's a little hard to determine from the video so could you supply me with the timing sequences per animation in either miliseconds or frames per certain FPS? I need to design the sound to go along with the animations perfectly so that's pretty important. I'm not sure when it'll be finished but I'll start working on it from tomorrow. (That is if I am supplied with the animation time sequences by then.)

I've PMed you the info.

You're right about the challenge. It doesn't have to necessarily sound like what it is now, but it should be something like that, I think. More or less. Also it shouldn't be too loud, as it's in a big play space. That's really all the requirements I would have.

...uh, how is my request coming along in the works?

 

[worMatty]

Neya that Nuke sound you linked is really nice.

 

[Davekillerish]

Do you make sounds like from certain classes? Like voice mimiking? Or just ambient sounds?

All I want is the lines Ronald Reagan said in Genesis' video for "Land of Confusion" as separate sound files so I can stick 'em in a map as a joke.

"Oh, goody two-shoes."

"Beddy-bye booze time again."

"I could use another one of those."

"That's one heck of a nurse"

Download the youtube video, convert it to MP3 and slice the parts you want.
i am not doing these kind of things, this has nothing to do with being creative with audio.

Do you mean voice acting? I don't normally do this-- and I could, but there are far more talented people that can get the accent and tone down of certain classes that are 100x better than me in this area.

In that case, how about an ambient?

A moderate wind, rusling papers, and a faint marching.

I'll put it on my to-do list. What's a faint marching, though?

For what map is it, how is it themed, and for what purpose do you need rustling papers?
The purpose of certain elements decided the outcome of the sound and how it's perceived.

A faint marching is a distant marching. Close, but only enough that you can just hear it.

The mood is dark and apocalyptic.

Do you think you could do a sound that resembles new york traffic or high way traffic? Constant horns from varying distances sound wise?
I am making a new map called KotH_Suburb, and the setting is in the middle of a suburban city.
add me on skype if you think you can do this, ill provide screenshots of the project to show your work wouldnt be wasted.

Woah guys, don't overload this person with so many requests. Make sure your map is well on it's way to beta at least before requesting too much custom content. An alpha map doesn't need custom material.

 

[MoonFox]

could I restate my original question, how is my request coming along in the works?

Sounds fucking awesome! I'm gonna use it in the next version of my map. Ahh how the sound of an explosion can brighten my day.

Still taking requests? I actually could need a lava/hell/underworld soundscape for my new map set in hell. If you can it would be greatly appreciated. The hell soundscape already in the game is ok but really loud and would probably become a bit hard on the ears after a while of playing. Thanks!

Should I contact you via PM or?
