Kayzon sound effects

posted on January 25th, 2011, 1:57 am

I just started watching the first season of voyager on dvd and I noticed that the sound effect for the Kayzon beam firs is the same sound that is used for the Dominion on fleet ops. I do not remember if the sound was the same or not on DS9. What do you guys think?

I actually have dominon bug ship sound, 8472 bioship, and klingon DS9 style sound i created.  they came out very close.  if the devs want the files to consider i would be more than happy to contribute them.

Oooh! I'd love the Bug sound! How'd you do it? Sample an episode? From some other game?
Not that it's hard to find or anything, but I've got the Defiant phaser sound from the later seasons if you wanted to trade.

i did it using audacity. none of the sounds i could find were of quality i was happy with.  they were either just way off, or they were pulled from the show (and had background music that distorted it. it was really tough to make.  i did a lot of listening to the sounds in the show (and they varied slightly each time)  but i found a really good balance.  i like playing around with sounds... i am a perfectionist so i am tough on myself to get it just right.. that is one of the ones i think turned out really well.  now i did pull a few borg sounds from the movie... they turned out well, but i dont know  how to implement them in the game.. they are just sitting in my portable drive (which is why i would perfer to see them get used.. its such a waste) . i invented a cardie phaser sound and defiant pulse (from the movie)

I'll have to try audacity. I've been using Acid and SoundForge for a while, but it seems like neither one is ever exactly what I need it to be. All my sound editing experience comes from wrestling with those programs for an old high school project where we had to mix is some SFX and a soundtrack to a short movie we shot. As you might imagine "Rambo vs The Terminator" needed some gunshots and explosions and whatnot. We samples some SG1 for the P90s and bullet impacts on the Jaffa armor.
I also made a new Klingon mix for Fleet Ops with lots of Undiscovered Country stuff for the more General Chang feel.

Anyway, I'd love to hear some of the stuff you sampled. Spruce up the sfx in my copy of Fleet Ops at least.
