    Much, much better.

    its amazing, maybe a little longer with a growl from Hobbes and it would be perfect!

  4. Jez on August 28th, 2008 7:23 pm

    Splendid.

    I voted for more voice and that combined with more vocals = WIN.

    Good job! ^^ :)

    If there’s an option, perhaps the wow sound files could be a touch louder?

  5. Siobhann on August 28th, 2008 7:26 pm

    *sigh* Bad midi bagpipes are still bad midi bagpipes. The voiceover and WoW sound clips work well, but for the love of God put it over real piping!!!

    @Jez: I can pot the WoW vocals back up. I didn’t realize that the compression encoding dropped them that much, in Garageband they were overpoweringly loud.

    @Siobhann: Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to find real bagpipes that don’t have a ton of background crap going on? :P Seriously, I looked for hours and couldn’t come up with anything.

    I think BRK said he’s not “bagpipes”, anyways. I await him saying what he IS, though, because without direction I’m just running in circles.

    So said the BRK:

    “We’re pretty amazed at the diversity of opinions on the our attempt at a podcast vamp. We are impressed that, technically, we were able to make Garageband do what we wanted.

    “On the other hand, we’re not grunge or heavy metal. That intro won’t stay.

    “On that same otherhand, we’re not bagpipes, either. Yes, dwarfs are Scottish, but this is a Hunter Blog, not a Dwarf Blog. If we happened to be a Troll, would we have to play calypso? If we were an Orc, would we have to play… um…”

    So, what is a hunter? Frankly, when you say “hunter music”, all I can think of is Deliverance… :(

    Edit: And yes, that is a full 21-gun salute, 7 tracks, 3 shots each, with L/R balance tweaked to make them semi-distinct.

    I love Garageband. ;)

    I’ll second that the voices need to be a bit louder, or the music needs to be a little bit quieter, but otherwise I think this one was excellent! The fireworks were fantastic and the hobbsian roar was brilliant!

    /cry

    With Siobhann, I would love real ‘pipes, but if BRK isn’t for bagpipes, at least he isn’t keeping the cr@p he had used.

    This is awesome though, the gun and growl, fabulous! The growl is from in game, and ok for being short, it is an authentic sounding kitty sound.

    You may want to tweak it a little because it is hard to tell what he is yelling in the middle but overall it is great.

  10. Tim on August 28th, 2008 8:20 pm

    I like it. :)

  11. Alphakhan on August 28th, 2008 8:26 pm

    The best one so far. Keep it.

  12. Sinish on August 28th, 2008 8:35 pm

    Dude! So much better…
    But you need to end it with a roar from Hobbs… This is Big Red Kitty, after all. Something along the lines of the MGM lion.

    and I like the pipes… but I’m partial to the music o’ me family’s motherland… which means: Get recordings of the real thing!

  13. Kapu on August 28th, 2008 9:30 pm

    Well done! The other one sounded like one of those monster truck radio advertisements from the 80’s.

    At the very least, hold on to the gun sound effects, and “FIRE!” and such. Thats good stuff.

  14. Galorfinor on August 28th, 2008 9:50 pm

    Dude that was cool! gj, use that one.

    Ps lol writing from home, have no clue what the deal at work

    Galor

    There’s another mashup in the works.

    Stay tuned. ;)

  16. Taurack on August 28th, 2008 11:43 pm

    That was like a billion times better… but maybe I’m biased…

  17. Wolf on August 29th, 2008 5:05 am

    This is it! Eureka you’ve done. Do NOT change this or…

    /cast misdirect target=BigRedKitty
    [Wolf]Waits patiently….
    :D

  18. Boozsha on August 29th, 2008 8:13 am

    I think the gun shots did it for me. I likes it!

  19. Deadrabit on August 29th, 2008 8:15 am

    CUT! PRINT! That’s a wrap.

    I think that is very usable.

    The only thing I don’t like (but can live with) is the end bit about the chit chat. chit chat is exactly what I expect BRK to get to at that point.

    now for the out roll music I would being with the “Now that is enough of the chit chat lets get to it” maybe followed by the roar and the 21 guns and Fire maybe a fox hunt horn

    btw Great Job Wild one.

  20. Green on August 29th, 2008 8:34 am

    Prrrrrfect for me.. Gave me chills to hear the Gun Salute.

  21. Karamia on August 29th, 2008 9:42 am

    I love the bagpipes, and the gun fire and Hobbe’s roar is wonderful.

    I do hope the bagpipe music stays, it just seems so very fitting for a dwarf hunter. WoW is a RolePlaying game after all :)

  22. Xanthelei on August 29th, 2008 10:18 am

    BRK, I don’t care if you aren’t bagpipes - Use this somewhere! With some tweaking on timing for certain things this could definitely be an outroll clip, and I think it’d be great to hear it used. It is too bad real bagpipe music is hard to find, because a good bagpipe is amazing to hear. Oh well, not much to be done unless a reader can play and wants to remake this tune with the real thing!

    /cheer

    Love it!

  24. D on August 29th, 2008 11:04 am

    Pure win!
    Plz use this one, I love everything about it.

  25. Senzir on August 29th, 2008 11:42 am

    Awesome :)

  26. Gruff on August 29th, 2008 3:49 pm

    That.
    Is.
    Fuhggin.
    Sweet.

  27. Thrush on August 29th, 2008 4:05 pm

    Almost there… just needs the female voice (Mrs. BRK?) saying “Big Red Kitty”.

  28. G! on August 30th, 2008 2:26 am

    Really awesome stuff. Love the bagpipes.
