Audio Feedback Thread

Too much tire squeal reminds me of need for Speed carbon.. god the tire noise in that was a mess.......


OT: I noticed that too but didn't feel any issues... (Probably coz I don't drive much irl)

 

I mentioned this some years ago, but any chance some of the engine idle sounds could be brought up in volume? The t-series for example is pretty loud when it's accelerating, but at idle it seems unrealistically quiet.

 

I have 6 headphones and 3 different audio outputs from one of computers, testing with all different combinations I can find huge differences how sound are produced, your task is challenging as there is quite many different options in whole world than there is in my gaming room.

So it would be logical to think that some sort of adjustment slider to Audio options might also help with the challenge, like AC has such option, but of course nothing is quite so simple.

Alone realism vs gameplay debate is something not so easy to settle right, but adding more complexity to options/software can be even more challenging.

You have more than 30 years of experience from providing fun and enjoyment to people's ears, that is really incredible, that is lot of life and it is fun to see how this all shapes up. Those messages of young TDK are of course important part of your history too, it is 'Mark' in history, your hobby and work has shaped our gaming experiences and such way you have shaped whole culture, that is something to be respected greatly.

Just think all of us thousands you have given so much in games and music, it is certainly something to be proud of and at least I thank you from doing all this to our culture

 

Don't you take poor Marty's title.

 

I guess some of the idle sounds are better now, but they could still be louder. On some like the old Pessima, the idle seems in proportion to the revving sounds. On others like the Moonhawk or the T-series, the idle could be louder. The engine starting sounds are a lot louder than idle on all.

 

Just as a general question, the team used to do a lot of teasers on the forum which seems to have now shifter over to twitter for the last few updates. Why is that? Can you tease the newer audio or no?

 

I notice that with these engine sound there is a good amount of bass at the low end and the idles sound good, but as I rev higher it seems to loose that bassienes especially the V8_cross_exhaust
I also notice the some of the exhausts sound better when there is more minLoadMix than maxLoadMix (I3_exhaust, I3_2_exhaust, I4_3_exhaust, I5_exhaust and I6D_2_exhaust0
Is it just me or do some engine sounds sound not clear/muddy/mushy?
I noticed that the most of the engines sound better than the exhausts? And is there a way to make the exhausts sound better, and would there be possible to something like at cam-profile that effects the entire rpm range?

 

No problem. From your previous post it sounded like the sound changes were already in the last update and you wanted me to check them out.

 

New to this thread so I'm not sure if this is an appropriate request but I think there should be a bit more v8 sound diversity. I wish there was more of a bassy tone to crossplane engines especially at low rpm. And a good example to look at I think is the idles of the Oldsmobile Cutlass mod for beamng. It's really hard to describe sound but the best way to explain it is the idle speed is fine for crossplane v8, consistent, but it sounds a bit too smooth for a crossplane. Sorry for the poor description but it's the best I could do.

 

I understand. The video and examples I provided were not intended to be perceived as sources but rather examples of how the sound should be. Thank you for the brief reply

 

It would be really nice to have indiviudal sliders for different audio sources. Especially engines/motors.

I am playing on a gaming laptop and when the game runs the fans are getting not so silent anymore. For ICE vehicles that isnt that bad, those engines are more than loud enough to be heard above the fans. But with EVs, it makes it very difficult to judge current vehicle speed by audio because you - realistically - dont hear much. Spirited driving in an EV in BeamNG makes me only hear the screeching of the tires and the Laptop fans because the motor sound is - very quiet.

Also an slider for wind noises would be cool so that your can enjoy the sounds of the car without so much wind noise at higher speeds.

 

How difficult would it be to implement an audio system akin to that found in Live For Speed? You get to draw a few sliders around & can create any engine sound you would want. Obviously it might sound a little bit artificial, but I think it would give you more flexibility & imagination for engine sounds than just relying on audio samples from a 3rd party supplier

 

This would also entail some sort of formant preservation to be present to make it actually sound realistic

 

Just seems weird that I don't use twitter and even though I'm on the official forum I have no idea what's happening with the game.

I would say true, but then again the audio has only started getting more attention recently and there was definitely teases for new engine audio, surfaces, and foley effects. But I guess you don't really have a say in it.
