The musical is done, I did some composing, remixing and singing. But Matt Greenburg did the majority of the singing. It came out great thanks to Matt pushing it forward. There are also some “story” elements to it. It will be released soon for you to download at the sound wizardry website.
Many thanks to Styng (crew of WCM).
My website Sound wizardry is now released and public.
You will find audio tutorials, sound package releases, audio program presets for download there, as well as all the videos I’ve voiced and sound designed in. Also all the behind the scenes movies of my sound designs in machinima, real movies and video games are gonna be posted there. Keep an eye out ^^
See you there!
It’s not everyday I agree to work on music projects.
Basically, I hate working with music cos I’m not really good at it.
I used to be a great singer, able to hit the keys just right and hold my voice going.
Problem is age and out of practice.
The upcoming thing, that I can’t talk too much about, is a song.
It is, I would say 95% done. I only sing a portion of it but even there I am kinda off key but I guess it’s a character I can be. Fortunately, someone else sings the majority of it all and he does a great job at it. The portion I sing in is not decided if it’s going to be used, I do hope it is, even tho I’m not as good as I used to be, it is fun to sing silly again.
Besides, this is for the sake of humor and fun and not something we hope will win platinum records lol.
This is gonna be something to look forward to, so keep your eyes and ears vigilant.
I worked a little more with the sound replacement for left4dead. It is tricky as the audio engine of the game is modified and kinda different than the other valve games.
So far I’ve had good results with the pipebomb and shotgun.
Press the title for the weapon for a sound demo for it.
Basically, I wanted the pipebomb to sound more..pipeish, like it is made out of a tube. A tube was used with high pressure air throwing a sponge out to get the thump sound.
Also the the commentary said the sound of the pipebomb was suppose to be high pitched and attracting the infected. I didn’t find the original sound to be anywhere near as high pitched and attracting than ripping apart the surviver and hear her\him scream. So I remade the “beep” by mixing hawk calls and high pictched alarm sounds and adding a echo. The sound is kinda scary in itself.
A shotgun is a classic zombie retaliation weapon. I love a shotgun anyday. Spesificly pump action. Auto is nice but I like the sound a pump action makes. A friend of mine owns a big collection of weapons including an old style shotgun that just makes so much noise I’m afraid it is going to blowup…actually that would make an interesting sound >.>. I went for a realistic sound for the shotgun. I might replace it with a more designed overthetop sound later.
I like how the pump and inserting the shell came out.
I’ve been playing left 4 dead like crazy lately. I love it. But of course, I just had to touch the sound files.
Sound files are to me like little boys are to Michael Jackson; irresistible, thrilling(there’s a pun here), fun and it doesn’t matter if the noise is brown or white.
The problem is understanding the valve engine, lag from server and ect.
I encountered lots of problems with many of the sounds I put together. (shotgun, minigun, zombie murloc - yes you read right) The engine sometimes decided to do some weird stuff with my SMG sound (uzi) and it still does but it is only after you fire the gun there is small delay in the metal ring out of the gun.
I will most likely make more if people want to, and yes you can use the sounds for machinimas.
I didn’t record or create the zombie murloc, that is blizzard.
Also, the engine selects random zombie sounds, but I replaced the two I heard most frequent.
Nothing is more funny than to suddenly hear a murloc running at you wanting to eat your brains…mrglglglgllgbrrains.
Here is a promo of the sounds: Cocktail of Sound
And here is the package, installing instructions is in the archive: left4dead-weapon sound
Download only if you want, there is more problems with the sounds than I noticed in the game. Working on fixing them.
Just a little quick thing: I play video games time to time and I recently joined up with Raptr which is kinda like a gaming hub. So if you wanna add me to steam, xbox live, xfire or anything. You can do it from there; here is my site http://raptr.com/Caruu
alright, cya soon everyone
So I’m back. I never really left after some heartbreaking issues. Instead the studio sent someone else to do it.
It’s been hard but I’m over the worst part of it and is now trying to get back into the fun that life used to be.
There’s been many who’ve been helping and encouraging me, even when I was on the lowest point I’ve ever been in my life. I say thank you to you all, you know who you are. So, I’m kinda back doing sounds here and there.
By the way, I don’t remember who I need to do any voice for or what it was, but if you are one who I’m voicing for or you want me to voice for you, send me an email: Carummerian(at)Gmail(dot)com
If you don’t remind me, I’m afraid it won’t be done. The footsteps package will now be worked on again, I was in fact done awhile ago but I plan to redo some of them.
Also, here are some new music that I worked on while trying to get my mind off things, they are very ethereal and “romantic” sounding so now you’re warned.
Warden of Snow
Through the clouds
Blossoms of Summer
Rain in Winter
Have fun, cya next time.
