Audio Section

[VGsatomi]

Well, thast pretty much goes back to just getting a mircrophone and hitting record. Unless you have a really talented voice actor, it could easily be flooded with no-so-good stuff. If anything, you should have a section/forum for voice acting where poeple can be requested to say certain things and have them posted in that forum.

I think it could be nice if somebody creates a new resource for sounds because everybody needs sounds for maps like doublekill or rampage

What's the point in hosting music/sound files here, when you can find them at a 1000 other places? (Except custom soundsets and other very closely related to warcraft III)

 

[Mini-Me]

What's the point in reviving this thread? Btw you can get those UT sounds and more in here

You are right. The section will of course be moderated (that will be a funny task) but there might not be many good actors.
And importing from other games is ofcourse also illegal.

 

[Rui]

And when will we know when the sounds are or not from other games? Unless we have moderators who play every kind of game. Still, we'll never get one who plays EVERY game. That kind of sounds should be requested in a proper forum. I know we won't have just 1 moderator, but still, I doubt we can cover all the games.

Sound / Music Art section?

Eh ... i have 2 questions about it ...

1 - Are people supposed to put they're lyrics into this section?
2- Is there a moderator for the section?

 

[Kimbo]

no, there isnt any mod for writing or the music section.

and to my knowlege. LYRICS ARE NOT MUSIC OR SOUNDS. They are a form of writing. Iv told people but they still do it.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

So ... they would belong in the 'Story / Writing Art' section then dont they? .. and .. then plz tell ralle or something about this? because it is true..

 

[Shados]

Well, lyrics are written, but they are meant to be sung / spoken, and as such shouldn't they be in the music section?

-*meow*

 

[Kimbo]

Lyrics are a form of writing, just because you sing them doesn't mean it counts as an actual form of sound just because your singing it.

Some poems are meant to be read aloud or sung....doesn't mean they are music.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

You've already said that ... can you now answer the question plz ?

 

[Kimbo]

i told them of it i think in a thread at the mod section ages ago, they are busy trying to deal with other forum sections atm...

 

[Mechanical Man]

I sound/music art suitable also for custom homemade soundsets?

 

[Wolverabid]

Eh ... i have 2 questions about it ...
1 - Are people supposed to put they're lyrics into this section?
2- Is there a moderator for the section?

1. Song lyrics should be posted in the Story / Writing Art forum. NOTE: Users that post lyrics/poetry/anything else that they did not personally create/write are expected to give full credit (including a source URL, if available) for material that is another person's intellectual properly or is copyrighted.
2. At present those forums are unmoderated (save by our administrators). This irregularity will soon be corrected.

I sound/music art suitable also for custom homemade soundsets?

At the present time that's the best place for such resources. In the past Ralle has proposed an entirely separate section:

I am gonna make a SOUNDSET section.. for people to create their own soundsets..

 

[brad.dude03]

Hopefully they will have some guidance soon. In terms of a soundsets section: that's a great idea I can't wait to start making my own to share

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

The 2 forums could easily be joined together anyways, both rarely gets posted in and would work well together.

 

[brad.dude03]

I agree with Ragingspeedhorn, unless either of them suddenly get a large amount of use all of the sudden, it probably would be better to merge them no?

 

[Gausslander]

We Urgently Need a Sound Resource Section!

If you would, Ralle, make a sound resource section, Operation VOICE could go live, and all of me and my team's soundsets and sound effects could go on the site. We could have a pull to decide who the sound resource moderator would be, but I'm putting my name out there in case you decide to give me that position.

 

[Kimbo]

NO. no and no.

this has been discussed before..alot of sounds are copyrighted and sounds can take alot of space.

 

[Bob27]

Yes, we should not have a sound section, because of both of the reasons Werewulf said. If you really want to you can post music or sounds you have made in the Sound / Music forum.

 

[Rui]

I think this is listed in the ToDo list. I just don't see how this fits with World Editor Help Zone.

~Thread Moved

 

[Unscrewed_Magic]

there are plenty of sound effect sites that you could just link to

i LIKE THIS ONE: http://www.grsites.com/sounds/

 

[KaboomMaster]

if you ever make 1 i volenteer to be co-moderator

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

if you ever make 1 i volenteer to be co-moderator

Nothing personal, but you're not much moderator material, and I have no idea what a co-moderator could possibly do, besides the same things as a regular moderator.

No we don't need a sound section.

 

[Wolverabid]

I am gonna make a SOUNDSET section.. for people to create their own soundsets.

1. The inclusion of a soundset resource section has long been proposed and is still under consideration.
   
   
2. If implemented, the section will be added in the forum proper: Ralle wants to eventually move all resources submissions to the forum itself.
   
   
3. Exactly what sounds and which formats will be allowed has yet to be determined.
   
   
4. Likewise, the moderation and moderators of such a forum will be decided by the Administration.
   
   
5. To keep the sound resource discussion in a single thread, this one is to be merged.

[brad.dude03]

Well, if we had a soundset section (Which I think is a good idea) then I guess I'll be moderator, since I kind of moderate the forum that they'll be placed in...

Anyway, I don't think there will be much use. We don't have very many voice actors at all...

Think about it. 99% of the sounds in maps are not original, they're always taken from some other media, be it another game, a song, a tv show, whathaveyou, hardly anyone makes original sounds anymore. I don't know many maps at all that have original sounds.

But, I suppose if there is enough demand, it might create some sort of activity in the Sounds forum... and any activity is good activity >.>

 

[KaboomMaster]

r u sure i cant be a mod a have a spunky personality and anger that rivals Mecheon's (which almost got me banned by Wulf [sry Wulf])

 

[Wolverabid]

Likewise, the moderation and moderators of such a forum will be decided by the Administration.

The promotion of moderators is a long process which will not be discussed in public. We administrators may contact users when it's necessary to make additions to the staff.

No offense to anyone but: don't call us, we'll call you.

 

[brad.dude03]

And in the case of KaboomMaster, in all honesty, it's not likely they'll be calling you any time soon.

Sounds

How do i put in a sound file in these forums :S

I'm pretty sure....wait, no, nevermind, im not XD

 

[Wolverabid]

Sounds may be included by:

• Physically attach (.zip or .rar archive) sound files to a post using the [attach] [/attach] tags.

or

• Link to sounds hosted elsewhere on the internet using the [SOUND] [/SOUND] tags.

Note: Sound files that violate copyrights or force web browsers to auto-play them will be removed.

 

[FuryOfASquirrel]

ok

Downloadable Sounds

I don't know has anyone said this before, but it would be nice if we could download sounds (or sound set) from hiveworksop too.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Asked so many times before I have lost count.

Well anyway the answer is no for legal reasons, atleast largly.

No action yet. The soundset resource section has yet to be implememted. After the new resource sections are up and running, it's hoped that soundsets will be included.

Sounds

I had an idea for the Hive, you know how there is the models, maps, and icons links up top? Well, could you put a sounds link up there so people can upload there own (or other) sound sets.

has already been sugested
and already been said no to

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Actually, somebody suggested we make it so you can play sounds in the chatroom and in posts, not a sound section in the resources..

It sounds like a good idea; seeing as there is going to be model packing, etc etc.

Sound Resource Section

Hey Hive Workshop,
I've been thinking that the Hive Workshop needs a sound resource section. I think it would be very useful. What do you guys think?

 

[Ralle]

I think this:

I may make one in the future but I do not know.

 

[madcat2]

The only problem sound can be massive files.

 

[busterkomo]

So can maps, that's why there is a file-size max. T-up on the sound resource idea.

Hence why there's 2 or 3 sound compressing tutorials?

brad.dude03's
MightyBobBarker's
Mine (Easiest to follow to be honest)

Yes, sound can be more easily compressed more thouroghly than maps. Maps also tend to be larger.

 

[brad.dude03]

And my compression tutorial yields the best quality with the best results. Plus I have screens and it shows you exactly how to get it working in the map, so I would say your self-advertisement is fail there kaitech.

Anyway, this will never happen. Why? Legality. We can't upload sounds unless we make them ourselves, and we don't have enough sound creators/musicians/what-have-you to make it worth while, and I would spend day after day ignoring Quake sounds, etc, or checking the legality. Basically it would be one big crapshoot, and a giant waste of time for everyone involved.

Mine DOES have screenshots, and the smallest out of the 3, hence making it the easiest to follow.

 

[brad.dude03]

No u fail!

And just because yours is the shortest doesn't mean its the easiest? Where the hell did you get that impression?

COMPRESSING SOUND AND AUDIO FILES BY BRAD.DUDE03
Compress your sound lololololol
import your sound lolololol

Well, that was smaller than yours so it MUST be easier to use.

 

[madcat2]

Alright no fighting guys theres always going to be different opinions on both tutorials.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Brad, face it, my tutorial is much more noob friendly. Noobs don't want to be reading massive chunks of writing, they just want something as simple as changing one setting then saving, et voila.
