Doom1991 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Yeah. The guns just sound too weak in general.A bit of waveshaping distortion, compression, EQ and maybe creative use of convolution reverb could do it. Know of any good tutorials for Audacity to teach someone new to sound editing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know of any good tutorials for Audacity to teach someone new to sound editing? No, but the principals you learn from any tutorial for any program should work almost anywhere. Look for tutorials for professional DAWs such as FL Studio, Ableton Live, Logic, Protools and Cubase. Join a music software forum and you might find a lot of useful tips. If you have FL Studio, the Image-Line forums are full of good stuff. Most of what I know I might have heard of from somewhere, but you're never good at this stuff until you do it enough times and/or just get lucky enough to find something that sounds cool. When you're learning, mashing buttons on the UI of an effects plugin never hurts. Sometimes the randomness of that approach will let you find something that sounds unique. Sometimes the software or gear you have access to matters, but most often it really doesn't, so try not to fall into the trap where you feel like you need everything. Just so you know, Audacity supports VST effects plugins. There are tons of free VST plugins out there and some of them are real jems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noahdvs Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 I'm open for more requests. Feel free to ask audio related questions as well and I'll see if I can answer them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamBacon Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Do you want to do the sound effects for some 5 foot tall cyborg lab rats that shoot electricity at your face? That and their 20 foot tall cyborg lab rat boss who shoots even more electricity at your face? Basically, they are used as lab rats as the name implies. The Reaver Movement *Fallout Tactics* uses them to test new cyborg enhancements. Lately however they have all broke free and are scurrying around the deep dark tunnels underneath General Atmoics Galleria. It is meant to have a very creepy/horror vibe to it, as everything is really dark, and then you hear all these rats scurrying around, but all you can see is the slight glow from their cybernetics. I need a sound of them scurrying around to put the player on edge, a creepy squeal/cry to come from the distance and scare the player, and then an attack sound. From a technical perspective, they are just textured molerats that I have made armor that looks like cybernetics for them to wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much. If you think of anything else go ahead and throw it in there, I can always add in more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
