The sounds look great, I just think they need much more reverb since they sound too dry (if that's the correct term).
Some of the weapon sounds have to be worked over
- Thread starter Soldat-Hans
- Start date
Quiet to the contrary actually, probably fired more blanks then live rounds in my time the corps...dont even NEED hearing pro for em...
Also have to keep in mind the positioning and distance of each microphone. As well as the type shotgun vs cardioid/hyper-cardioid. Some microphones will pick up more bass the closer they are to the source of the sound, some like omni-directional mics will pick up sound from all directions and include more echo. There are quiet a lot of factors that go into recording, especially something like a PKM.
This.
People need to realise that there is no single microphone that can capture sound as it is, they all modify it (select a certain part of it) in some way. That way, there is no 'right' or 'wrong' way to record.
The way I would do it, is fire the weapon in an area similar to the maps ingame (not an indoors shooting range with hard walls), then setup multiple different mics for each increase of 10 meters up to 50 meters, then 100, then maybe more.
Keep the shooting range active, Then mix the sounds so they produce a sound the same as the ear percieves at those distances, by comparing to what you're hearing when standing at the range at those distances.
I think I would use 4 mics, record 8 different distances so that would mean 32 tracks per weapon in total. Then add reverb according to the environment through an ingame processor.

At least it's a hell of a lot better than Ostfront's sounds where bolting and reloading sounds like it's done indoors and firing sounds like it's out in an open field. (At least on the Kar xD )
The MG-34 does sound a bit flat or dry, but perhaps they'll take some interest in adding a bit more of a 'spark' to it.
Also, does the MG-34 eject sparks while firing at night?

Probably differ from blanks to blanks. The blanks I've used was a little bit louder than the live rounds.
