ACC Blog Audio - Monkey hear, monkey do!

Yeah, it is great.

 

I'm really looking forward to hear that flat six Porsche 911 GT3 R in action at Spa!

 

I agree that sounds have been grately improved from AC1. One thing to mention. Is there a possibility in future to tune reverb effect separately, which we can hear inside a car to tone it down a little bit?
Thanks!

 

Luca, you are doing amazing work with the audio and I find it so interesting to read about the entire process.
Thank you so much for responding to the community the way you have, with action and a true passion for doing your job very well. Bravissimo!

 

Agree! The sound is very cool now, but when using a headphones, there are slightly big amount of reverb effects here. When using a speakers- all looks (hearing) better! Devs, please, look to this moments . Sound might to be very very art style tuned and mixed.

 

Sounds really good, hopefully I can enjoy it too. Some health problems and not a good performing PC. Keep up the good work Kunos!

the new sounds are absolutely astonishing. Great job Luca and Team

 

Yeah, the sound is really putting you into the seat! Looking forward to the Bentley hoping that you managed to capture the mess of noise it produces in Limiter mode, was amazing at Spa! Also the AMG and the Porsche will be awesome, I guess. And the blow off of the Beemer...

Still I agree that the reverb zones are slightly too much in the cockpit. Close to the pit wall you get the normal reverb which is very nice and than suddenly the reverb zone engages and is way more intense.
I admit that I haven't done that in real life so I can 't compare out to anything, just my thoughts.

 

LOL I wondered what this was. I thought I had damaged the gearbox! Nice touch.

 

the new sounds are amazing... there are so many details in there now... it's great.. you hear all the parts making individual noises and so.. great..

also one thing I heard.. but don't know if it is that what I heard.. or if that was "placebo" .. some kind of air stuff going on.. wenn I braked hard for the dunlop turn... some noise almost like an airbrake or so.. like a "PFuiiischhhh" and my car suddenly moved the front end a bit to the left... while this sound going on... and it felt very aero like... like one side of the front splitter dipped into an air cushion or air displacement or so... I don't know if it was realy that... the sound and the feel, gave me pretty much that feeling at least...

if so.. wow.. amazing detail... if it was something else.. still amazing detail

 

Amazing sounds with even more so Amazing physics to back up said sounds, the Shift wobble in motion is PURE HEAVEN THANK YOU LUCA & ARIS

@AC Support luca Any chance you can give some details on the 5.1

 

How's it working with your motion rig (is it working yet?)? In R3E, I can feel the elastic nature of the drive-train flex in the D-box setup, even when shifting (if the revs are too far apart) but, there is no support for ACC yet.

 

Will try the game tomorrow and put the sound to the test on my 5.1.

I will preemptively say that if the sounds from the cars behind me come from the front speakers - just like in AC and Pcars - then its back to the drawing board for you guys.

Crossing fingers.

 

Oo trust me you will hear them behind you next to you and even reverb from a car next to you

 

cars from behing were always from behind also in AC .. maybe you need to check your speaker configuration? in the windows menu or in the soundcard menu .. sometimes windows screws this up after an update...

 

Soundcard and windows are fine.

AC does use the rear-speakers, you can hear something from them, but the grunt of the sounds comes from the front speakers independently of where the sound is coming from in the game. As opposed to R3E where the cars from behind are only heard from the respective speakers.

 

Yes very much so, Positional worked 100% Perfect on AC, being able to Close my eyes, and pin point the AI's location Exactly was Awesome, But the engine was never properly represented in that 5.1 bubble, so For confirmation, that will be more refined in ACC ? As in you have more control of the exact position of said "effects or data" ?

 

@AC Support Would it be possible to add an option (ingame or config tweak) to increase the ambient (other cars really) sounds. I think being able to ear the other cars on other parts of the track much like irl would increase immersion a lot. I would literally watch every session's replay . Currently every racing game overlooks that and you pretty much only ear your own car and it's a shame.
