Kitty Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Game looks cool but I'd like to register one teeny weeny (small) complaint. Some of the Aussie voice sounds seem like whoever recorded them had a) a cheap microphone or their recording levels set too high. Very distorted and annoying . . . to me anyway. Again, this is a minor complaint but then again, it's my job to complain and it is irritating to have nice voice recordings then all of a sudden this hideous snap, crackle, and pop distortion on a few of them. Might I suggest a limiter? Maybe I'll have Mace make me some replacement .wavs. Problem solved.

Stalin's Organ Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 These things are important to Aussies - they've got 4-5 times as many sheep there as us Kiwi's do after all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAsta_KFC Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Before we get way off topic, I too, have noticed crackling and hssing at the end of the Aussie voices, not all, but one or two of them. REALLY detracts from gameplay and immersion, I must admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about that Aussie Mighty Morph'n Power Rangers turning into Americans? For instance shipping ol' Mel back to Oz is not a problem, consider it Christmas return!

Are you all so unattractive you can't get dates with each other? Or are you all just weird? Never mind, I think I just answered my own question.

Madmatt Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I spent over a year trying to get a good batch of Australian sound samples and whats in the game was the best of what we could obtain, but at least they are all from real Aussies. The list of issues which cropped up included everything to one of my voice actors having a family crisis and loosing his house to Brian Rock having a personal crisis and getting married. The samples that Mace sent me were, oh whats that word again...?oh yeah, CRAP, yeah thats it. I honestly thought that a 12 month cycle would be long enough to aquire and edit the sound samples for all the nations we needed. For everyone BUT the Australians, it was... Even so, I did the best with what I had. While I can make audible magic with sound effects, editing the human voice (assuming you consider Aussies humans) is VERY difficult to do. If you think the sounds are clipping, it is easy to manually edit them, although I already noise gated and hardlimited them so they aren't supposed to be distorting, at least not beyond how they sounded originally.
