Off-line Access Now Available!

Offline Access Now Available!

Dear friends, hope your Christmas holidays and new Years was safe and awesome! Well, let me add to the new Year with something very special....

All the sound effects I have been working on, are now offered both "ONLINE" and "OFFLINE". The website now offers a choice between the two, so if you want offline files, you can get it from iTunes.
I'll work on the Google Play next for my Android using friends.

So here are the options:

Option 1: The website AS IS NOW :D   (with sweet graphics)




Option 2: Play from your iTunes on your iPhone: (Local copy)






Please let me know how this works out for you. Is the iTunes version a suitable option for taking into a game?

A single sound effect is 99 cents. So there is the option to pick and choose. 31 Sound Effects in total and the album is 10 bucks for all 31. Should make things easier to use. I hope. Let me know please.

OFFLINE ACCESS to the Sound Board

The website is still suffering from a lengthy download time. I am trying to find away to hide the download time, until after the imagery is first loaded, but I'm not having success.

The objective has always been to get these sound files into the hands of fellow players. So, I am thinking of adding an option, in the case that people are as frustrated as I am with the wait time.

I've decided to look at online distribution sources, like iTunes. Now the sound files are actually my own and have cost me an average of $23 dollars per sound file. There are 31 sound files. The work has also cost me 3 months of effort. I know it sounds like I'm trying to justify charging of the sound files, but the truth is iTunes will not allow free music. So the minimum for all 31 sound files is set by iTunes at $10 dollars (for the album). 99 cents per song (Sound effect).

If you there are people out there who want to have these sound files for themselves, to use at any time for the entertainment experience as they wish... well, alright I concede, here is an option to do so.

This is the proposed solution:

If we go through with this, at least the album will have a great cover, and also the sound files are abbreviated and generic enough to not cause a stir or ripple.

In case anyone bats an eye:

2000pt Tau Empire Battle Music Now Available!!

After a long and strenuous search by members of Tau Tactica a final proof of another tremendous sound scores have been assembled for the use in WarHammer 40k Tau Army Battles.

Here is the Tau Music Score Battle Sound Track Thread


A very special thanks to the following members for their ongoing music research and Tau inspiring guidance! For this music assembly, special credits for "Yoshida Brothers" recommendation, and "Star Craft" and "Last Samurai". The song MKAlieZ was also a fantastic recommendation. Thank you specifically to WackJood who actually sat down and listened through my list of music, and flagging several songs as "Not for Tau". That actually helped a lot, and because of that, several non-Tau songs where cut... and NEW & BETTER TAU SONGS ADDED!!!

This new soundtrack is 2 HOURS of pure Tau heart pumping excellence. Thanks to:

These folks did such an outstanding job bringing in sets of music types for all of us to try out, it's been a genuine pleasure to work with fellow Tau commanders, dreaming up what the ultimate Tau sound track would sound like. Gentlemen, I think we accomplished it! Listen for yourself, and see that the song list is not just good enough to play & paint Tau... anyone on the fence about starting a Tau collection.... IS GOING TO WANT to start one now!!

Way to go guys! out of 425 songs reviewed... 83 where selected and 46 songs where selected out of that. Based on this distilling process... we have a highly potent music score. Thanks to our fellow commanders of Advanced Tau Tactica!

The file is now available for blissful enjoyment fellow Tau commanders!

ION Weapon Sound effects updated on Sound Board!

ION Weapon Sound effects updated on Sound Board!

http://tauempiresoundboard.com

Ion weapons sound effects have been updated on the sound board.

The Storm Surge Pulse Arc Cannon sound effect has been updated, to work more closely with the Tau fluff description of the weapon sound effect. Also the paintings of the Storm Storm Surge when it is firing. It's not a shot, or a pulse.... Instead it is a heavy buzzing beam weapon. So this had to be redone. See images below about the visual cues of the weapon fire.





The Rip Tide sound effects are coming along very well. I needed to create 4 different levels of Ion Weapon shot powers sound effects for the sound board. Starting with the Ion Raker... then the Ion Cannon, and now the Ion Accelerator. After this will the the Supremacy Walker Ion Weapons. Which will be the heaviest sounding Ion weapon sound effects I can muster.

Please check out the sound board below and HAPPY GAMING!!

ION RAKER now on Sound Board

Gentlemen! with much fan fare here is the NEXT sound effect:

"Ion Raker"


Seen here on this GamesWorkshop model:
Click the image to buy the model if you are interested! Let's continue to show our support for GamesWorkshop products.

The Ion Raker sound effect was requested by:

 
  Of Advanced Tau Tactica:
"Christmas has come early. It's got a really mean sound effect to it I love it. Can't wait till I can hear an overcharged version. If there's any sort of fix up's you want to do to it feel free, but overall I think we got our sound. Thanks for the awesome sound effect."
Here is the work done on the Ion Raker:

Needed to purchase these sound files from Pond 5.com:


http://www.pond5.com/sound-effect/45321147/sci-fi-machine-recharging-2.html
http://www.pond5.com/sound-effect/45358529/sci-fi-force-field-impact-6.html

This is the Base sound where you can see 45358529 was applied:


This is the base driver sound, that initiates underneath the IonShots:



This is the combination of the two multi-tracks with the other sound file added 45321147


The final output of the sound file was then "Maximized for loudness" to ensure that the sound clarity and volume remained constant. This is especially important on small mobile device speakers, where I have to ensure the sound it clear at all times.

Hope you all enjoy the new sound file on the Tau Empire Sound Board!

5 New sound effects! 4 New Pulse Rifles and 1 New Broadside Railgun

New Pulse Rifle sound effects for use in a WarHammer 40k game.

After some more play testing it became pretty obvious we need combinations of different infantry firing sound effect files. The 1 time fire all the way to 24 times fire, for a whole squad at rapid fire range. This multi-shot infantry weapon selection, will become a standard feature on this and future army sound boards.





This is the work done today:
