Wait, you're still looking for auditions? The OP makes it sound like you're done.

My Recamai take from before got passed over (womp womp) so I won't submit that, but is there anything else?

EDIT: Passed over! Ha! (It's the first night of Passover.)

[JerichoDeath]

After all that I said... things came up...
There's way too much noise at my place right now. It should be better tomorrow...

Haha! That's why I haven't commited myself to any major parts as I never know when I would be able to have this room free. For instance, the missus is currently watching Big Bang Theory, so I have no chance of recording anything! Generally, I just wait til she buggers off shopping!

[xYama]

Regardless of how dearly I would love to help this project along, I think I would hate myself if I came across my hick accent in BP. So alas, I'm trying my best to wait patiently!

What needs doing?

[AdmiralRalwood]

What needs doing?

Need more Recamais still!

Last I asked (on IRC), that was still the case (and the only thing needed).

[Gee1337]

I'll give this a go today if there are no other entries!

[Colonol Dekker]

I can't see the lines anywhere.

[Gee1337]

I found them and I have now submitted an audition for Admiral Recemai.

Also, I've resubmitted my Masyaf audition as I wasn't satisfied with one of the lines in my previous submission

Hope they are good enough!

Edit:- Colonel Dekker, they are on page 253 of the script.

[Colonol Dekker]

That link on page one with the red line through it works?
 
 

[Gee1337]

Yep!

[JerichoDeath]

Too noisy around... then it quiets down.
... and now, I'm sick. So, my voice is terrible.

Spoiler:

And it should sound like it! try this mix

The beam charge up sound sounds like it's coming from the transmitting ship. Wouldn't it just sound like a very quiet or nonexistent charge-up followed by the (awesome, btw) clippy static explosion effect? Or is the charge-up sound the beam blasting against hull before it breaks through? (But then why does it increase in frequency?)

Yes.

(But then why does it increase in frequency?)

Acoustics of different armor layers?

[Kolgena]

Would the armor layers vary like that smoothly as it's being ablated away? It would make more sense to me personally if it was a sharp, turbulent attack followed by relatively little change. If someone had a jackhammer (pretend it's silent because we're in space) trying to bust through your roof, it would sound like a sudden, muffled rumbling attack that only changes little in pitch before busting through and being loud as hell.

Pseudophysics aside, my main point is that there might be listener confusion as to what the sound is supposed to be. IMO it sounds too similar to what beam spool ups sound like, and not enough like what a big blow torch might sound like exploding a hole in the side of your space boat.

[AdmiralRalwood]

My understanding is that the preview linked earlier is not the final version of the effect.

[Gee1337]

After listening to that beam charge... I just suddenly thought... is that one of my beam warm ups! If so... happy dayz!

[TechnoD11]

Has there been any additional progress?
Last Battuta post suggested he only needed more Recamai submissions. Have these been received/chosen/committed?
Also...

All the voice files are on my PC, the holdup is me processing them and getting them into SVN. I'm working on that now - Simms alone had 4gb of raw audio, and each line has dozens of takes that sometimes need to be stitched together into one master take, so it's an effort.

Unfortunately launching Destiny and my ~three-book contract~ eat up a lot of time. After audio engineering is done (Herra will do the final master), we need to finish some dreamscape tutorials for Act 3 and do a ton of playtesting and polishing.

I've got some free time coming up around the middle of June, I'd be happy to help you with that playtesting and polishing. Just let me know what I can do to get this to the finish line.

[AdmiralRalwood]

Last word on the subject was "nearly done", but Battuta is currently on hiatus from HLP (and is unlikely to finish the project within the next few months, given how busy he currently is with the aforementioned three-book contract).

[Hopeful]

Having all of BP released and finished by the 20th anniversary of fs2 would be ideal, I feel. Still no progress, damn.
