@splitterface
You've gone on how and why the new sounds are better than originals and now call this joke lame... ?

It was a good read, a lot of attention to detail

Keep fighting the good fight with your words Spirit.

Aaarrgghhhhh. Haha

[Ghostbreed]

aww, just a joke?

[PRIMEVAL]

A pity actually, I thought you guys were able to "pull a Per Kristian" and do the same with highres sounds he did for Doom over at Quake. Maybe it will happen eventually, anyway.

Ditto. PK did a great job on those. Does a great job on anything, really.

I don't think he had the original source material, I think he just upsampled the 11KHz audio from the game and remastered it so it would sound "crispier". At least that's how it sounds when I review his comparison samples on his site.

I used a mixture of fast-fourier resynthesis and lampertz' subwave macros for the most part.

Great job Spirit, but it sound a little distorsionated for me.

Any way, is a great job and I want to probe this pak, but in your site show me "404 - Not Found" when I try to download the pak.

You can fix this???

What in the Furry Shamblers ass is this.

This was a hoax for the damned 1st of April <-------

But I also see "real discussions" about what was done and how it was done.


This is frustration at its best, because I was going to ask : Can DirectQ use this, and will it improve my MULTIPLAYER experience. Now I don't know whether its a April Fools Joke turned into 'Legit Addon pak'

Ouups! you're right! I didn't read this post from Spirit, haha!!

Yeah, April Fool.

Well anyway, would be impressive and ear candy if you make a remastered sound pak. I really think about this.

See ya!

I have no idea what "remastered" means.

But if you want your Quake music in better quality than the original Quake CD, then you might want to take a sneak peak here.

Noup, I do not mean to the music, I mean to the sound FX like shots, doors, explosions, player's pain, etc, etc etc.

The remastered music I've already downloaded and this sound really good.

Thanks Seven

Hello Cataflexia,

You must know that there is replacement stuff for EVERYTHING in Quake !

So, sure there is also a replacement "sound fx compilation" for Quake.

The most famous is Mindgrids sound compilation.
Unfortunately he used slightly different sounds for each file.
So you will have a slightly different sound-feeling when using it.

Then there is the 100% faithful but resampled and improved sound pack from unknown (resampled to 44.1KHz 16bit).
It is the best choice if you want 100% faithful Quake sounds, but with multiplied ambience/appearance !

Then there is this sound pack from a guy called Seven, who simply mixed both above mentioned packs into one, which sounds best to him. With some additional sounds (he always seems to do this).

So take your choice and test them.

Have fun,
Seven

i just wanted to mention that pack you made seven.

personally i love that sound pack you made, faithfull but with some slight changed sounds which fit perfectly in quake, abnd some which are even better fitting then originals

i personally like your sound pack way better then mindgrids. i dun like that mindgrid uses sounds for stuff which are completely different from original sounds, which gives the whole game a completely different feeling.

[damage_inc]

Yes yes, I agree with splitterface, thanks seven

I d'loaded it last night adding it to the "always" enabled mods and cranked the Yamaha receiver up as you suggested and well, great balance of an improved audio update without changing the feel of the game.

Of course, thanks goes out to mindgrids as well.
