Weapon Sound Design: Flak Cannon

[MaxCarnage]

Yeah, why don't you send me the source sounds and I will try to put them in a blueprint for you.

So sorry Sir_Brizz! I didn't read your comment until now. I am currently working on a new revision of the Flak and the Enforcer sound. I will include a download link in the soundcloud link when I upload them.

[MaxCarnage]

New revisions are up in the OP! Take a listen!

[MaxCarnage]

I would like to change the thread name to just say "Weapon Sound Design: Flak Cannon." I am splitting the Enforcer sounds to another thread. Is this something a MOD must do? I would hate to delete this thread just for that change.

I changed the name for you. And I checked in the new sounds so they should show up in the next build. Let me know if anyone has more feedback!

Fantastic! Thank you! I am anxious to see how people respond, but for now onto the next sound!

I just listened to the rev04 of the flak .

I love the alt sound, but the primary in my opinion need work. as of now it feels a lot similar to the alt with less "thump". But the biggest problem wit the primary IMHO is that it lacks enough the crispy and crunchy sound i would expect from it.

Keep iterating!

[MaxCarnage]

I take it you mean, the sound of crunching metal and shrapnel?

Agreed with piemos comments, the alternate fire is pretty satisfying thus far, but the primary is kind of weak.

Gotcha, I will revisit the sound with fresh ears tomorrow. Thanks for the input guys!

I just checked in some new versions of the Flak audio. They'll be available in main, but not in the promoted build. Quick summary:

- Added "strike/fire" to the first part of the flak primary so it sounds more like a shot followed by scatter instead of just scatter.
- Reduced volume and pitch of the mechanical whirring on the tail end of the Flak alt fire as it was viewed as distracting.
- Shortened and reduced overall tone of the pickup sound (still not quite right but getting there...)
- Converted to mono (for now...) to match with other UT audio.

Flak sounds in new build are insane, really loving what I hear!

Sweet deal!

When you mean "Strike/Fire" Do you mean the initial explosion or the impact of the gun? I can experiment with that a bit more.
I can turn down the pitch and even the volume of the mechanism for sure.
I will revisit the pickup sound perhaps it's too high pitched?

What's the difference between the Main build and the promoted build?

The new pickup sound is like a slot machine. Please change it It's driving me crazy.

Oh no! That won't do. Do you mean the weapon pickup or the ammo pickup? I will look into it.

I kinda like new flak sounds.. only thing thats not good to me is secondary fire it sounds like laugh at the end..
