Fanmade GT5 sounds: Oh My God!

[Jav]

Well they do and they do a pretty damn good job! 100 times better than GT5 does! By reading your comment you have obviously never tried Enduracers, or rFactor for that matter.

that WRC sounded great, reminded me of the 12 hours of Sebring at night:tup:

Wonderful sounds in this video. Exactly how they should be, sampled downshift and exhaust pops, just correct and distinctive samples from every rpm range, not speeded up 4k rpm sound in GT5 which is just plain buzzing and does not resemble an engine at all.

This sounds came straight out of this mod for rFactor, made by 100% amateurs in their own time, ohh and anyone can get it for FREE!!! Check them out, http://www.enduracers.com/ if this guys can do it sure as hell PD can!

Yes. You can clearly predict which car coming to turn next. (all engine types are well represented)

What do you expect? They're recordings of the actual cars, and there's no possibility to change the sounds by "tuning" the cars.

The problem becomes hugely multi-dimensional the moment you allow for modifications to be reflected in the sounds.

I love how 'dirty' they sound. Every car in GT5 sounds too clean. I nearly came when I heard that Arta NSX. I know its a crappy overlay and I know its impossible. but. i still drooled over it

The main problem with GT5's sound is just that. Car sounds sound too digitalized and artificial.
On some occasions I just have to turn the sound off [Alfa Romeo 8C (sounds annoying in real life too according to Clarkson), Subaru Imprezza WRX STi '10 and a few more] simply because I can almost hear that digital note which drives me mad.
On some cars PD got the sound spot on (Corvette Z06, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lexus LFA etc.) but on some (Sauber C9, McLaren F1 etc.) they're waaaaaaay off. Some cars even use generic sound samples (Tommy Kaira ZZ-II).
I have to agree that GT5 has some of the best (if not the best) "experssion of sound" as zedextreme said (sound in cockpit/chase/roof/bumper).

GT5's sound is great but if they added some "dirt" to the sound it'd be much better.

They really are! All the cars in that mod are so immersive! Just awsome!

You really can, that's exactly how GT5 should be!

You are right my friend, but it is no excuse. There's plenty of tuned cars arround for them to record and trust me the owners would be more than willing to have their cars recorded for any GT game.
They do have some decent sounds in some of the stock cars but they are way too muted for you to really enjoy, they lack that deep note they produce. I play with a 5.1 system on my cockpit with the suwoofer right on my back and nothing absolutely nothing comes from it exept for the anoying boom from a crash.

I agree that people would love to have their car recorded for a GT game, and it's probably a great way to do it, but there are generally three extra exhaust sounds per car, so you'd expect to have to record at least twice as many cars. That's a lot of work, especially when you realise that recording is the easy bit once you've got hold of the car.

I still think there's a reason PD haven't really expanded their sample repertoire since GT2. Hopefully it's a good one.

Not really theres so many cars that share engines that they could easily cut the number in half. for example for ferrari the would just need 3-4 cars total just 1 430 GT is enough for the 430, Scuderia, Spa, and 458(not exactly the same engine but same note), 1 car for the Enzo and 599, and so on and so on. For the Hondas and Subarus would be even easier!

Plus I think they already have the correct sound samples, just go start the Subaru TC, or any Super GT(premium) car for that matter, what happens to that sweet sweet sound when you drive the car??

 

[noisiaturismo]

I don't see what's so special about sounds. I mean, it are just noises created by the car,

I nearly came when I heard that Arta NSX.

and comments like this are a little weird. By the way, the Arta NSX doesn't really sound that good.

Well, there are three extra exhausts per car. Double the number of recordings is a good estimate. People will still complain about re-used samples.

The start-up sounds are just the bare recordings, crucially not close-mic'd. The game needs those recordings in a certain form i.e. clean loops, which takes a certain amount of the organic nature away immediately, as does their close-mic'd nature. Plus PD don't use intake sounds at all in the game, which omits a huge part of the characteristic sound, especially in the interior.

Sadly, it doesn't seem they recorded intake properly at all, so it's not an "easy fix".

They really need to revamp this department, the GTR R35 TC iis just a joke, such a beautiful car and they eFit up by not using the GTR sounds they already have...

What!!! You my friend have no soul!

Yes, i do have a soul. Surprise!

Let me guess, you guys also love car doors closing and the sound of a cup being put into a cupholder?

No, not really. But I do enjoy the sound my real cars make, and I love taking my track car out on trackdays, TTs and race day. I love the smell of burnt brake pads in the morning, that sweet sweet aroma that only race fuel produces and yes those wonderful sounds of a racetrack when it comes alive! You should try it sometime, it's reinvigorating!

I believe racing is cool, and i will try it out somewhere in the future, but sounds are so overrated. They are just fine in GT5, don't spend days on sounds

you will need those days

Well if that's your opinion I respect it as such, so if you don't care about them why are you browsing(trolling) a thread about them?

you will need those days

And what tha hell is that supossed to mean?
