Full Audio Rebuild Project No1 - World of Warcraft: Stratholme

[Galistia]

Horse trot doesn't match the speed of the horse.  The sound effects for abilities could have a little bit more of a "punch" sound to give ability sounds a little more character on impact. You know, make it sound like it's hitting really hard. :)

[Drewcif3r]

Thanks guys for the ongoing kind comments and interest, I should have something new for you to watch fairly soon! I was originally going to post it all up at once but now I think it might be too big and I'll have to break it down into chapters instead :p

[devonstouch]

this is amazing mega job if wow had this kind of sound eff would be even better

[FireoutGG]

Amazing job on this man. I was really impressed.

[2456800]

is this done?

[lltjekmeoutll]

Is it almost done?

[helencfco]

good clip. have any of you guys saw the wow cheats pack from warcraftbotsXinfo (replace X with .) ? it's astounding, i recently down loaded the pack. its got totally everything inside it, gold guides, bots, hacks, glitches and even the new arena glitch. i perhaps shouldn't reveal to folks about it but at least this offers you all a fair chance to obtain it before i own all of you

[NYGamerX6]

The sound is incredible..

[NemesisDelta]

I want it , I Want it!

[lltjekmeoutll]

could you please updat us on how far you've got. btw this is BEYOND GOD LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!, im anticipating this almost as much as cataclysm

[Drewcif3r]

@lltjekmeoutll Thanks so much man - it's really frustrating, I've got a followup for this on my HDD at the moment - the music is written, the footage is all shot, I just need to find a good week or so of editing time and there just hasn't been a chance cause I've been doing a lot of freelance game audio work instead! I haven't forgotten but I can't make any promises...it's there always in the back of my mind tho.

[Tucky1471]

Where the hell do i download this? This is absolutely amazing! :O

[fatgreenguy1]

Why can't blizzard make sound like this..

[yemilb]

tbh this is how wow should sound like - awesome job m8!

[Georocs7]

This is beast man ;D I can imagine recording the sounds of your horse running through east london must of been a chore haha

[maksphoto78]

Awesome work mate! Sounds really deep and atmospheric.

[80sMusicPoster]

is stratholme a dungeon or a reg. town?

[lukeskywalkerlol]

both, it was a town in wc3 and it's a dungeon in wow

u can say it's a town dungeon :D

[xl414]

That was awesome dude, blizzard need to hire you :)

[ninjaskater234]

how do you hotkey spells to the F1-F12 buttons?

[Pnaraasi94]

@ninjaskater234 From the key bindings options..

[stealthmoon]

taht a good idea be high level and do dungeaoun by self get money and col items

[stealthmoon]

nice job

[colton1337]

holy crap, your ramstein low growl voice was fucking amazing! also all of your other work was lovely! awesome video!

[Hotcalop]

It wAs good u know i Got the barons Horse its pretty cool

[KutuluWOI]

Awesome job. This is how Stratholme should be.

[bobsnackattack]

Most excellent.

[williewobbler79]

Aww, no mount dropped :(

Good job though on the effects though :D

[LillefixWoWguider]

YOU SHOULD SEND THIS TO BLIZZ DUDE!

[darroni123]

AGREE!!

[alex7069]

THIS IS PAINFULL PUT CRUSADER AURA ON.

[Huntedtom]

Oh my god, the sound effects are awesome , Good luck on your project :D

[Yosh997]

Amazing.

[jazzerrrrrrrrr]

and what program u used plz

[jazzerrrrrrrrr]

can u tale me how u do that? plz pm me:O

[crankanteater]

read the description :P

[omgnobrain]

Horse should have dropped for you for being amazing :>

[CookieMonzta1995]

nice quality man loved it :)

[Marukka]

Insane soundeffects and music for my dark soul :)

this is how stratholme should be. the athmosphrere is much much darker, i love this.

[tomanaki]

nice job!

[ffsnoob]

its rammSTEIN not rammSTEEN. other than that pretty nice sounds except quite alot sounded like they was recorded in a echoy room will be kinda sucky for outdoor stuff.

[robertdane01]

The monster is not German so it would be rammSTEEN god fucking retard

[ffsnoob]

play the game! doesn't matter what language the word is from thats the name that blizzard gave the mob, look it up on wowhead fuckface! wowhead /?npc=10439

[PurplePanda1233]

What recording program do you use, and how to you upload in HD?

Thanks in advance.

[Drewcif3r]

I recorded with Fraps. Youtube actually automatically determines whether to grant your video HD status, so you generally just have to encode high and hope for the best...I also (obviously) captured in 16:9 ratio (1920x1080) and I think I encoded as WMV9 with high quality settings. Good luck :)

[LowBoy1994]

How can I scale my ui like that ?

I know how, but if I do so everything gets dizzy. :S -Please Reply ! Thx.

[PurplePanda1233]

Bring up your resolution.

[VegasPoker]

this was really frikkin sweet man, nice job! [:

[zambezzi]

This soundwork is fucking epic! Should be implemented to the game! The crow sound is flawless.

[xFayte]

This is amazing, makes the game feel a lot more realistic and completely revitalized an old dungeon! I'd love to see more full audio rebuilds from you!

[Kokisman123]

Really nice job!I loved the sword sounds :D

[ANewFormation]

Your Welcome!!!

Really though, this vid is awesomesauce.

[Typhoonkin]

you really need to release this! its amazing! WTB for all my characters!

[Drewcif3r]

Guys I gotta say again I'm really humbled by the kind words and the support you've all shown me, I can't reply to all the comments individually but it's really appreciated - thank you :)

[Pwnido]

How do i get this sound??

[h4rDsTyL333]

thx........on what realm do you play..?

[Drewcif3r]

I'm on Darksorrow EU, Horde side :)

[HamsterSkogn]

Me too!! What about a boost in SM?* ;P

Awsome sound, btw!!

[h4rDsTyL333]

with what do you film it..?

[Drewcif3r]

It's a screen-capture program called Fraps :)

[Hurricane2002]

Drewcifer can you maybe upload that song that is playing in Stratholme !?

[Willerex]

AWESOME! How to get?!

[Cheesemonkey994]

Are you ever gonna make the Stratholme music downloadable? It's awesome.

[MaureenLycaon]

Seconded. I'd love to have an MP3 of the music itself!

[thatthingoverthere]

well done!

[HecklingGopher]

Its so awesome to see someone with talent putting it to work. I was so impressed by your reworking of the sound mechanics. Truly amazing!

[supermadio]

Don't understand why people say it doesn't go well with the game. It's much, much better. This is fucking amazing.

I think this guy should be working for Blizzard...

[rawtoast]

That was really cool. What was the song used in the background in the Abom chamber? With the latin chanting, that was cool

[Drewcif3r]

It was an original piece I wrote just for this video...the Latin chanting is actually me singing :)

[NYTrigga101]

nice sounds but it seems like it wont fit wow...

[csbob2004]

no baron mount = fail

[trowaheavyarms]

lol i think csbob is looking at the wrong video.

[RVoutreach]

Enter service entrance, go left through gates that spawn worms, kill worms and gates reopen. Continue to area where Key to the City drops, there are 2 trapped chests here. Trigger them and the 2 gates to Baron's courtyard will vanish.

Head on in and run the perimeter triggering any boxes that are trapped. Each trapped box triggered removes a door to Baron. Be sure not to aggro the abominations. Once you trigger 3 or 4 trapped boxes you can simply walk into Baron's room.

[KiteStrongart]

Please. I'll do anything to help you in making this for the entire game.

[Drewcif3r]

Hehe....I'd love to, but it'd take years :(

[RVoutreach]

Nub, you don't have to fight any of that to get to Baron.

[solidtenpin]

Uh, yes you do.

[berniebay]

@RVoutreach

Don't think that was the point

[herosmonk]

real nice sounds.

PS- wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooo i just got the first epic in the game from SM!

[stoophed]

Just curious, did you add in these sounds afterwards using another program, or did you mod the WoW sound's file and just played it through?

Either way, fantastic! I would love to hear sound of this quality in WoW.

[CannibalJeri]

Where can i get this?

[renegadeimp]

most of it does not suit the game at all. It sounds good, but just doesnt go with the game. It's too overpowering

[fad0881]

OMG that was farkin awesomeness...

Felt like a different game completely.... i hope this could inspire blizzard to do a much better sound effect...

[AudiaGirl]

Great work, it sounds *amazing*.

[Tyrarl]

I love it! Have you put any thought into doing a video of you in a group? It sounds great, but I'm wondering how it would sound when you have 4 people fighting + a healer tossing heals all at the same time.

[CSauTneR]

I love it, reminds me of Oblivion.

[Cameratic]

This is absolutely amazing! Please, PLEASE release these sounds.

The only thing that I didn't like was that the volume was unbalanced in some cases... Hitting a mob is quiet, but a parry is exceptionally loud, for example.

Otherwise, this is incredibly epic. Keep it up!

[Typhoonkin]

holy fucking shit.

thats AWESOME

[Oobgarm]

Loved this. Particularly the music, which is not to say that the sound effects took a back seat, because they were also top-notch.

I'd put these in my game if they were available, no doubt.

[srossor]

thats a big improvement compared to blizzards sounds...

nice work

[OutcastedOutlaw]

nice one champ, the only thing I didn't like was the footsteps, imo they need to be more clunkier, but everything else is great, keep up the good work.

[kenshinsd]

really good stuff.

[MysteryChocolate]

Wow this certainly makes the game even more immersive.

[direwolf029]

i liked the weapon sounds alot. the sound for the horse at the start was of and to fast and i imagined it would get very annoying. other then that great job.

[CCTV9]

Love the Judgement sound

[bigrsmith]

Pretty nice. You need to zip up a package and release it for everyone else.

[inconsistanttruth]

only thing was it made me very aware of the time between attacks..

[monkeydude11111]

HOLY FRICK YOU GAVE RIVENDARE A VOICE

I've always wanted Rivendare to have a voice. And the voice he has in Naxx doesn't count.

This stuff was really cool. My only question is, what the heck is up with the laser beam sound effect on the seals? (<_<)

[monkeydude11111]

Oh, and while I'm at it, I'll nitpick that the horse hoofbeats are out of sync with the movement of the horse's feet. You may want to try slowing the audio down a bit on that.

[dunyasi]

Dude

Please

Release this to the public

Please

[Moore2501]

ok, why the fuck are you even looting that shit at 80?

[HydroDeath]

To show the sounds you fucking idiot.

[grm88]

demonstrate the looting sound effects...

[cloud4x]

Douchefag

[Gizim69]

... you didn't read anything he said did you?

READ BEFORE YOU TYPE GET OFF THE INTERNET

"Please note, this is not a gameplay video - the visual elements are only there for the audio, so please keep comments relevant (ie no flame wars about paladins, spell rotations, my UI, etc)."

[Hyzendark]

why dont you send this video to blizzard?? they may hire you, it'd be soo damn good for you and for us to enjoy this in-game sound quality

[frankssama]

damn great!

[BlightedSkiez]

that was so epic. i'd take this sound set over blizz's any day, it's so much more medieval and serious and brings a real intense feeling of combat and action to battles rather than blizz's magic laser gun spaceship sounds they seem to use for everything.

[skreeran]

Amazing... That brought a nice bit of dark Diablo-style tone to an instance that deserves it... :)

[superbaron1]

Nicely done, Sir.

[KrimsonTwilight]

Truly EPIC!!!

[judcool]

Fantastic job!

The use of the marching skeletons was great, as was the overlay of the multiple skeleton voices! 5 starss for sure!

[MalixAbyss]

dude you should do the hellfire citadel stuff or HoL! i love those places

[victoryoordeath]

very good, you have skill

[StreiBullet]

I have been playing wow muted sense Original Naxx. I must download this. It makes the game a million times better!

5/5

[treyzure]

sry dude no rivendare's charger...better luck next time!

[loliaren]

hell yea that looks awesome!

[b5h4d0w]

brilliant

[MrWaeseL]

This isn't better at all!

[scottbailey84]

ahh man this is gotta be made into a add on! and strah is my fave instance (still havent got that friggin mount tho)

[Darkvitch]

if i had that kind of music i wouldn't CARE if my baron mount wouldn't drop. i would keep going just for the epic sounds.

[zanoma1]

i like the sound of the skeleton army marching to the door.

thriller!

[Greathoof]

Wow!

Very nice audio rebuild!

[djrghf]

Around 1:40 I run into the bulding and fight him inside so I don't have to wait for the door to open..haha kinda messy inside tho but its faster then fighting all those low lvl after u kill the boss then onto the skull army then to the last boss...oh and if ur thinking how I get out..I set my hearth stone to the house of light and restart for there again if I'm getting the mount or farming

[Iminatube]

1 word: AWESOME!!! Too bad you didn't get the mount though :D

[DSAlgor]

Amazing. Keep up the good work!

[disznoo]

impressive! :)

[Omegaxam]

Pronounced Rammstein wrong :(

[Imagdreon]

I know, its an german word so it would be pronounced the same as the german, still nice audio ;)

[Yojiibochan]

What kind of softwares did you use, wavepad, audiocity ?

[markysong]

Steinberg Cubase SX3, Sony Sound Forge 9.0, Sony Vegas 9.0, Fraps 2.9.8.

Being patient + reading the end credits can sometimes pay off.

[moosterious]

Good stuff.. Only downside is the lack of gnomes imo.. Naked gnomes..

-Romantic.

[stgnebo]

Really nice! I do hope you will do more of these!

[Sopeydragon]

Ramstein's voice actually sounds bad ass! Well done! Really! Is there going to be more of these videos? Or is this just a one off? If there will be more I shall subscribe :)

[tangoman111]

is this the new stratholme sounds in 3.2?

[ClusterFcuk23]

"Music and voices are all original. No professional recording facilities or equipment were used, only my home studio"

no way dude you've got talent :)

[Drewcif3r]

It's not an addon, just sound synched up to a Frapsed videoclip - there's no modification of Blizzard sound files involved :)

[chengda85]

what is blizzard's stance on replacing the games sound files? I dont wanna get banned for using your sounds, lol.

[Zinkyness]

Strange...it kept stopping to buffer, on a 10 meg connection.

[Drewcif3r]

Unfortunately I can't - seeing as it was going to be rebuilt anyway, I didn't actually include audio when capturing the original footage to save disc space. Sorry! :(

[MarizaPvP]

Could you upload with the original sounds also? So one can compare the difference :D Amazing job! The only thing i thought about is when fighting that many monsters at the same time, there would be more battlesounds etc :)

[Hammylaya]

Exactly. The thing here to remember is that hearing this for the 1000th time will make it repetitive. These epic music bits need to be used for the moments that matter. It can't be on repeat all the time as a looping soundtrack.

When you enter Stormwind.How amazing does it sound the first time?

[apostolosapok]

no mount for you hehhe

[kekekekekesf]

SHIT YEAH, 'RAMSTEEN'

[predatorino]

very very cool :O

[jabluinga12]

Man, that was bloody epic. The arrival of the black guard sentries - THAT'S how it is supposed to sound. Really thoughtful work, very enjoyable and it gives Stratholme a whole new atmosphere.

Keep it on, we want to see (hear!) more!

[NwZ2]

NOOB! GET BETTER GRAPHICS!!

:P It's all vares voice. How awesome is that?

[Maddymw4]

So amazing

[nordensgaarden]

wow!

[chasezas]

impressive!

[fetacheesegreek]

Very cool, sounds a lot like diablo 0_o

[user137]

That was epic! More of this :D

[Jadusable]

Wow. That is simply amazing. Great job man.

[Drewcif3r]

Guys, I'm just gonna post one comment here to say a sincere thank you for the kind words and feedback, it's really encouraging and satisfying for me to see my creation go down so well :)

Thank you all, and stay tuned...I'll start work on the next one soon :D

[fabia23]

O_O

You, my friend are amazing! Blizzard could learn something from this, imo this matches perfectly!.

Also. the new swing audio is great.

[Sefearion]

Oddly enough I was impressed. Hard to believe how a change in music and sound effects can alter the feel of the game.

Only crit I have is when the paladin was surrounded, a few more impact sounds againts his armor would've made things better. After all he is getting pounded by countless arms and fists.

5/5 from me, hope to see more soon.

[Uboichi]

impressive

[shaddowblade]

Amazing

[crimzonightt]

that was awesome and very good work :)

[Kromgar]

Everything looked quite nice, with a few exceptions:

- The "crowd" fights lacked "numbers". It looked like there were a max of 3 individuals involved;

- I think you missed the Baron's line after you kill the Black Guards (something like "Time to take matters into my own hands! Come and feel the might of the Scourge!")

Other than that, very nice job.

[Metallkjeft]

And, just for the people wanting this to be an addon: That would, unfortunately, be against Blizzard's rules, as it would include altering the game files. It can be done, but you will get banned for it once the Warden detects it.

[firadesunna]

thats utter lies, you can already load custom sounds into WoW already so why would this be ANY different? and warden wont delete an addon for using custom sounds at all anyway O___o warden is used for programmes like bots, not for addons.

[Metallkjeft]

Pretty damn nice. I wish Blizzard had done the sounds like this, would have been a reason not to mute it. Currently the sounds in WoW are just annoying, and conflict with the music I'm playing in the background.

[Fojosmoo]

This was very well made.

But honestly, you'd get tired of this as well if you listened to it many hours on end. Like everything else.

[titanquest15]

OMG! this could make a cool addon!

[Arondyss]

Fantastic!

[Pieet]

I'm impressed!

[pewpewlaz0rz]

Great job!

[Vyomesh1984]

Holy shit.

You better make this an Addon.

[haaspaas2]

not impressed

[eirik49]

I wish World of Warcraft had these audios... Sigh!

VERY well done! I admire your work.

[Smashedmuffin]

well done indeed!

[MurdamoMW]

Very well done!

[hellopellos]

nice
