Kestrel's sounds

Thought I might as well stick them all in one place: :airplane:

A long way from perfect but I'm reasonably happy as a first attempt.  I'm always fiddling around with stuff so will hope to improve and add to them as I go along.  Made really for use with 5.1 speaker systems.  :salute

For ref: I have my sounds set (in the advanced settings) as 100% Engine; EngStart 75%; EngOff 65%; M2 Primary weapon 70%; M2 secondary 90%.

Are these totally new sounds or refurbished?

I'm curious, are they 8-bit mono, or something higher?

Hello
Butcher... They are new as they can be, using loops of engine sounds found on the internet.  The  P40 for example is taken from a real in-cockpit youtube video of someone taking off and flying a P40.  I took a small cut from this (which didn't vary too much in pitch etc) then altered the speed to try and suit AH (and a few other minor tweaks).  I also found the odd sound clips of 109's, fw190, and spitfire etc (the quality varied however).  I listened to loads of other clips and basically mixed/blended, (altered tones, speed, echo, reverb, equalised etc) just to get something I quite liked.  The spitfire sounds are actually altered P40 internal sounds blended with slightly altered external 109 sounds.  I did find a genuine in-cockpit spit sound but it sounded like a half-dozen briggs and stratten lawnmowers going full pelt in a tin shack. So they're a bit made up, but I tried to get them some where near (well for starters)
 :salute
Coogan... engine sounds should be stereo (unless I missed one or two, done a lot of fiddling so may have left something mono) but the channels are mainly duplicated except on twin+ engine starts and shut-offs.

Coogan

Just got in and checked through the sounds I posted.  There's a bigger mix of stereo and mono 8bit sound files than I thought, that wasn't quite what I intended  :rolleyes:

I'll sort through and do stereo and mono versions of all sounds when I have a bit spare time.  Not sure if it will sound hugely different but will give people the option of using smaller sound files.

Hope it doesn't cause any issues... they sound ok my end albeit with the fairly basic sound system.   :salute

Didn't mean to make more work for ya.  Just wondered if you had a preference of the two.

 :lol  I worked with most in stereo... but as some of the sounds I mixed were quite different on each channel (and sounded odd), I generally converted back to mono and then just duplicated the channel so I was back in stereo.  Just must have forgotten to save them all in that format  :)
For most I did that way it probably doesn't make much difference to the sound ...just the file size.

It's good to questions asked... makes me think a bit more about what I'm doing.
I'll get around to sorting out.  :salute

Hello

Kestrel Sounds Update :airplane: Suppose I should call it update 1.1 :)

Engine Sounds are now all the same format i.e. 16bit Mono (Multi-engine starts and stops are left as stereo).
While I was on... I also tweaked/updated engine sounds for Lancaster, B25's, Boston & A20, ki67 and G4M and a few other minor things.
