Sound Engineer?

Who is your sound engineer?

 

I would like to get them a bottle of vodka.

He's good, huh? Same guy that does ROF's sounds and was also loaned out to 1C to fix the audio problems with CLOD.

Hmm...sorry to be the bad boy, but i'm not carried away by the sounds i'm hearing with my headset.

External sounds are quite good, but internals are a step below IMO.

Furthermore some are missing (canopy - but ok it's alpha)

Ok they aren't bad, but they aren't stunning either to me.

As in ROF, sounds were not my cup of tea (externals sounds of first planes mainly) except the latest ones, and probably the only bad point of this sim.

Same in COD patched TF4...guns sounds are very ridiculous/cartoonish to me. Really hoping BOS will not get the same gun sounds!

You can try upping the sound count from 32 to 128, I think it sounds better by allowing more sounds to play at once. I have a SBZ, but I think any dedicated sound card since the X-Fi should be able to handle it. On board sounds, meh - I know people swear they are just as good but not in my experience.

There's a slider in the sound config - but I manually entered it in the startup.cfg.

 

[KEY = sound]
    count = 128

I have all sound sliders full right. So it should play as intented...

But i know i'm quite difficult person regarding sounds.

External are very nice though. (the flyby F3 key is too short! Needs few more seconds before repeating imo)

Internal, i love the gear up/down sound 

But engine at low RPM/zero throttle are too quiet to me.

Can you hear any canopy sound? I can't.

Yeah, I hear it with the engine off. You really shouldn't hear anything over the engine.

 

Like RoF, tons of sounds are present - but the majority are only noticeable with a little bit of volume and the engine off.

 

But, naturally, there are many tweakings ahead and sounds to be added/removed/replaced in the coming months. This is only the beginning of something amazing.

Engine and wind sounds are superb. Everything else seems to be either placeholder, too weak or missing.

 

It's a good start though. The two that really work are the important ones.

 

EDIT: Oh, I forgot: Radio comms sound quite good as well.

Also, the change from low/med/high sound quality does nothing right now. All sound files are identical in size as far as I know.

 

And yes, the canopy open/close sound seems to be missing. Also, no sound of pedals/controls moving around with engine off (RoF had this sexy sound).

 

I have also noticed that in a 5.1/7.1 sound configuration, there is some sort of a loud "pop" sound when switching between cockpit and external views, but this is probably for the bug report forum.

I thought I heard canopy closing sounds, but it was probably just the wind disappearing or something else.
