hippyjon Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 had an idea for the cyberdisk movement sound... well, i mean im going to play with some heavly modulated flanged wirrings till it sounds good anyway but i was thinking of having one sound loop for when its idle, just floating there, and one for when its moving, with a transitional sound in between the two... is this possible with the sound system? does that sound like a good idea? any comments suggestions?

Breunor Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 Perhaps it could be the same sound, but cycles faster during movement? Maybe at a slightly higher pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippyjon Posted June 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 thatd certainly be easier, but i was planing on bringing some of the elements further up in the mix when it was moving (mainly just humming when idle; modulated stuff speeding up and getting louder when moving) ... i'll see how it works out, just speeding up the playback might be good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippyjon Posted June 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 about a thousand experiments later.... 4 sounds for you to check out #1 cyberdisk v3 1of1 V2.wav- low humming loop, v bassy. the best one i think#2 cyberdisk v3 1of1.wav- like #1 only slower#3 cyberD v3 wawa bit.wav- higher wirrling, maybe comes in when the cyberDisk is moving. would be very annoyin if it was always around. needs more work really#4 cyberdisk v3 -2outof3.wav- #3 & #2 together. was gonna have like six elements to the sound, but it just got messy and unatural (in a bad way). of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippyjon Posted June 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 where'd the file go? (edit: you should probably ignore these now; new ones below)CyberDisk_sounds_movement_v1.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippyjon Posted June 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 couldnt sleep this is much better i think. a 0.14 sec loop that could work. not menacing enough? im not sure what d'you think? cyberdisk v4.wav- the loopcyberdisk v4 example.wav- a demonstration for people without a program that loops seamlessly. changes pitch, like Breunor suggestedcyberdisk v3.2.wav-maybe some people will prefer this one, slightly more eirie it is. just dont ask about the clicks (grrr) JTcyberdisk_v4.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breunor Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 I liked the v3.2 one the best. It had more of a hard metallic feel to it, while the other two were more of a vehicle sound IMO. Could variations of the v3.2 be made for movement? They all sound cool btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Squad Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 I just had to little edit sound 3.2 (just to look that i actually have done something in sounds :wink: ). 3.2 Sounded best to me. cyber.ogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippyjon Posted June 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 (edited) v3.2 seems to be most popular then... fair enough. err this is a new version of 4 that i did b4 i read this . ive put in the high pitched whine from 3.2 but it now pulsates. do people prefer the slow pulsating of 3.2? anyway i'll go look at ravens one (have to swap pcs) (the files 58k, theres a short example) btw im pretty much finished with this for nowcyberdisk_v4.1.zip Edited June 23, 2003 by hippyjon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 It's good but I'd always imagined that the disc would have more range to it. At the moment the sound seems to be on a single frequency, maybe its just my ears . It needs more dynamicism (is that a word?) more to represent that there its a complex machine. Sorry if I'm being fussy but I'm thinking in terms of an engine which has more than one sound that makes up the fianl sound you hear.If I may, here's some tweaks cbsnd.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippyjon Posted June 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 hmmm, youve got a point. dont worry about being fussy i think i could use one of the first two... im taking a break from this one for now though, dont want to get bogged down.

mikker Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 it really sound like a cyberdisk moving, but how does it cut off, when it stops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippyjon Posted July 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 (edited) it really sound like a cyberdisk moving... cool, still needs some work, hopfully come up with a near finished ver tonight ...but how does it cut off, when it stops? well i was planning on it being a constant sound , that gets louder and increases in pitch when it moves, dunno how this will effect the difficulty of the unit. i think itd have to be quite nails (hard) so you get scared at the sound of it. if it isnt a constant sound ill just make a quick intro/outro sound, no problem, quick pitch shift and fade in/out and itd be ok... unless the sound engine will be able to do this kind of thing?

Ancalagon Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 (edited) Can't you just download winamp(that's what I use)Winamp site Edit: it doesn't really sound like a floating cyberdisc, too high pitch, although that's just my opinion.

Guest Jim69 Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 It's an alright pitch, needs some mechanical noise in with it as well tho IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[stewart] Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 Thanks, I got winamp! Xcen the sound is fine if we use a mechanical cyberdisk. Out of curiosity could you throw some white noise overtop of it. See if you can make a sound that suggests that cyberdisks are biological. I like it though.

Guest Jim69 Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 Or failing that, it could be the start of some mood music 4 somewhere. It has that alien tone to it, could very well be extended into a longer piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
