Full Audio Rebuild Project No1 - World of Warcraft: Stratholme

**Update: thank you all so much for the kind comments and feedback - the bad news is there's been no time to work on the sound pack, but the good news is that I just might be making a sequel for this vid - more news when it comes!**

This is a full rebuild of the game audio in the MMO World of Warcraft. Only originally recorded or (occasionally) 100% free samples are used (well you try recording your own horse hoofs in the middle of East London!). Music and voices are all original. No professional recording facilities or equipment were used, only my home studio.

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).

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

[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.

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 :)

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

[Drewcif3r]

I'm on Darksorrow EU, Horde side :)

[omgnobrain]

Horse should have dropped for you for being amazing :>

[Marukka]

Insane soundeffects and music for my dark soul :)

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

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. :)

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.

[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..

I want it , I Want it!
