Okay, here's our chance to let spirals999 and the Neverwinter audio masters know of some sounds we'd like to have available as foundry authors...
So, here's the list. If you would like something added, post a reply and I will add it to this list. Go!

[new] Too complex a request

But maybe what you and perhaps some of your fellow authors can do, is put together a list of some sounds you might want for your foundry projects and we can see about getting a dedicated event list going for you guys. I can't promise anything of course but this seems like it would be fairly easy to do.
A couple rules though:
- Do not make requests for music
- Do not make requests for VO
We can easily do things like one shots. Trap doors, magical sounds, weapons sounds, Chains, levers, Moving walls, You get the idea...
So, here's the list. If you would like something added, post a reply and I will add it to this list. Go!

Example: Bell rings, Wood door breaks, chopping meat, cannon fires, etc. These are all actions that stand on their own without anyone or anything acting upon them. Anyone can be breaking down the door, anyone can be firing the cannon
The complexity occurs when you have an "actor" doing an action. Example: Undead break down a wooden door, muffled sounds of human battling orcs, etc. Requests need to be broken down to their most simple elements. If you want an orc breaking down a door, request a breaking door sound, and an orc battle cry separately.

Mechanical machinery contraption sound:
Something that sounds gigantic, and muffled as though deep below you (or far-far away from you) as the machination does it's work.
CONTEXT: In my third quest (Stone of Life) I have a "moving maze" - when the player pulls a lever (whoops, still waiting on levers; so when a player "activates" a switch) - the sound triggers. I want it to sound like a giant mechanical contraption working gears and levers and springs under the floor (or other room in the distance) - which is rearranging the maze. The giant clocks sounds in Neverdeath would be awesome - with minor modification.
That's just one context. I could use a sound like this over and over in many contexts. I imagine the sound lasting a full three to four seconds. it would sound muffled (in a distant room away from you).
Mental context: in Neverdeath there is the one dungeon quest (I forget what it's called) which is the castle/keep/hall of the Timekeeper's Guild (or whatever) where everything is based on CLOCKS. There are some awesome sounds in there. This is the kind of mechanical sound I'm looking for - but a sound that lasts a bit longer, muffled, and sounds "bigger" (i.e.: bigger machinery at work). Perhaps some of the sounds of clock gear-work from that instance can be reworked or modified (well, it would be awesome if even just those sounds were made available to Foundry).
I would like to add:
Cheering, applause.
Clapping
and also the featured satirical comedic adventure "A Call for Heroes".
Can you describe this any more? Or any examples anywhere (on the net?)
You've got 2 deep male and a female with: [Taunt, Direhelm; Taunt, Legion Devil, Taunt, Rohini]
(I'll add the others tonite)

Just wanted to give you an update:
We've identified the trouble we've been having with dead sound events in the foundry. We will be implementing a fix for this in the coming weeks and also are planning on adding more available sound events. Please be patient as this update might not go out for a couple months but the improvements and additions should be well worth the wait.
Thank you!
Does that mean the mute music files will now play? (after the fix, of course)
daytime insects (ambient nature loop) - eg cicadas, good for outdoors
indistinct murmurs through wall (for moving through occupied spaces)
rustling paper (there is a single version, but I'm talking background of scholars/etc)
More cheerful, natural sounds for humanoid. Most are either (1)miserable/violet/sick/etc, or (2)ridiculously exaggerated.
Done in multiple voices .. like young male, young female, elf, dwarf, old man, old woman, beast, hissing, and so on?
Just wanted to update you that foundry audio improvements are still forthcoming in the next big update. I'm working on this request list now. I have some questions about some of the requests:
For the following events please let me know if you would like them in looping or one shot versions:
Sizzling meat
Chopping, Meat
Chopping, Wood
Whipping/Tortured Scream one shot
Panting, Humanoid
Panting, Monster
Monster Eating
Dueling Swordplay
Banging, Wooden
Banging, Metal
Footsteps humanoid
Scratching, Door, wooden
When submitting your requests please make sure to specify whether you mean looping or one shot sounds.
Eldarth would you mind updating the list in the OP with the latest requests?
Thanks!
That's the plan!
I shall try and get that done this weekend sometime! Thanks!
Edit: DONE! ...also added [looping] to those requested
Encounter Matrix | Advanced Foundry Topics
Thank you!
Thank YOU!
...Now can we ask about selectable "canned" battle cries and VO sentences?? :cool:
Encounter Matrix | Advanced Foundry Topics
Sure. You can always ask. What exactly are you looking for?
We can't record custom VO lines for the foundry community at this time. Was there something else you were looking for?
I think he was asking for an ability to choose what battle cries encounters have from a choice of the existing ones. (With none being an option.) With I am going to second since having my enemies saying things like "For the Nashers!" when they have no relation to the Nashers at all.
I am finding a lack of good universal ambient sounds. All the good ones have people screaming in the background, or some wolf howling in it. They are all specific to the dungeon they are used in. Works sometimes, but only if I make quests for those same zones with the same flavor.
Generic ambient sounds that we can turn on/off:
1. outside, nature sounds. (the forest suddenly becomes quiet.)
2. inside, tavern amb. (we killed everyone in this tavern and there is still talking and dishes clanging together?)
3. inside music, Tavern amb with music not voices. (I see the band playing but no one in here) I can place music, people talking (if it works) but the nice white noise of air & the structural wood creaking once in a while is spoiled with dishes, laughter, ghosts, or something that doesn't fit the location and atmosphere. Some more raw bare bone ambiance please!
Heck, I would be happy with a list of sounds available and intended use that we can refer to outside the foundry. Would reduce a lot of headaches. Knowing what works and what doesn't and why reduces our time spent in trial and error, and gives us a straight forward list of options to settle upon rather than the first thing that finally works after extensive testing. (which adds to customer displeasure)
Absolutely nothing custom.
-- I'm really thinking of a couple of things that should already exist as sound assets somewhere:
Encounter Matrix | Advanced Foundry Topics
Hmm. Okay thanks for explaining. It is doable but may be a stretch goal for the future. We'll see what the schedule looks like in the next few months. If anything at lease maybe we can put in a few and grow the availability of assets with subsequent patches.
Thanks!
(Un)Academic Field Work Foundry Campaign: NWS-DAPZB2CTZ
A few? Pfffft. My deification may be waning.
How about a goal to shoot for...
But seriously, even a few would be a step in the right direction -- more goodies to play with!

"Most of the above creature sounds are just too complex.
You might be wondering what I mean by "too complex". I'll explain. The kind of sounds that are easy to accommodate are those sounds which are just an simple actions. Example: Bell rings, Wood door breaks, chopping meat, cannon fires, etc. These are all actions that stand on their own without anyone or anything acting upon them. Anyone can be breaking down the door, anyone can be firing the cannon
The complexity occurs when you have an "actor" doing an action. Example: Undead break down a wooden door, muffled sounds of human battling orcs, etc. Requests need to be broken down to their most simple elements. If you want an orc breaking down a door, request a breaking door sound, and an orc battle cry separately.
Updated. Pruned all the VO/actor/too-complex items to bottom "too complex" section.
Also clarified and added any [one-shot]/[looping] I could find.

Whuuuut?!! Get back to work slacker!
Thanks very, very, very much -- sound can really enhance a story/environment.
...and you added/fixed an awful lot of good ones.
If there were a "Friend of the Foundry" award, you'd surely get one.
(...and read your PM -- let's get an Audio-Complete event happening!)
