MeatWater NASCAR 4 SoundPack!!

Howdy folks, not just a few tweaked sounds but a complete package! A lot of work and beta-testing has been put into this, and it really rocks. I haven't been so satisfied with a SoundPack production since a long time :) The SoundPack comes with a professional installation and uninstallation routine, covering the whole range from engine to crash sounds. Grab it at the NEW MeatWater Website! http://www.meatwater.com

Wow, that's some great news. If it's even half as good as your previous efforts, I think we'll be in V8 heaven :). I'll try it out the moment I get home! -Gregor MeatWater wrote:

Awesome!!! Almost like being there and my ears are still ringing. Great work guys.

I just dl'd and installed it and I can't beleive how much it improves the realism... far superior to the stock sounds. Now if there was a more realistic sfx for when repairs are being made... I unfortunately have to listen to them far too often.

My thoughts exactly!! I can't believe that the N4 repair sounds are much worse than N3 even. I, too, have to hear them more than I should. Marc. "Robin" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:QFEK6.6423$[email hidden]...

Does this sound pack modify N4 files or does it do the same as other sound packs, simply adding WAV files into the N4's sound folder? If the latter is the case, would it be possible to get this sound pack WITHOUT the professional installation and uninstallation routines? I'd much prefer to install this stuff manually.

Wow! This actually doesn't suck. I like it. Definitely improves the realism. I DON'T like the installer though. I like zips and tarballs. More control. I just installed to a seperate directory and zipped up the .wavs for future installs. Damn fine work nonetheless, on the sounds and the installer. :) -- ------------------------------------- Morgan Vincent Wooten http://home.earthlink.net/~morganv00/ ------------------------------------- "MeatWater" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9de8na$hu9jv$[email hidden]... > Howdy folks, > > not just a few tweaked sounds but a complete package!

I must comend you on a job well done. The crash, skid, and other sounds are a vast improvement over the default ones. But for some reason the engine sound seems to have a bit of static or crackle to it as the revs come up. My settings for engine in app.ini are default, and I'm using the SBLive and Altec ADA885 speakers. Any suggestions? On Thu, 10 May 2001 16:30:27 +0200, "MeatWater" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I love the engine sound (much more "meat" to it; works great with my sub-woofer). My only remark is that the wind effect seems to be ... different. There's something that bothers me but can't quite put my finger. There seems to be some sort of "static" Is it just me? Great work nonetheless. MeatWater wrote:

I think you did a great job on the skidding and crashes but the engine sound is still missing something. The stock N4 engine sound needs work but I don't know what the trick is. Good job guys you are really close. "MeatWater" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9de8na$hu9jv$[email hidden]... > Howdy folks, > > not just a few tweaked sounds but a complete package!

T. Wortman, I have the exact same problem + does your engine seem to need *more* volume then before you put "MeatWater's SoundPack" in? Any & All Help Appreciated... Tia Thom_j. "T. Wortman" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3afc7a13.17727825@news...

We went through this once before.. I'd rather test the sounds out first to see if I like them or not. And/or test each individual sound and take the best out of each. For GPL I didn't like a couple of Meatwaters sounds but loved a couple others of his. So, If he's reading.. could you please separate the files for download so I can manually replace individual sounds? Philster wrote in message <[email hidden]>...

No, because I adjusted the others sounds down as suggested (like opponents to 40%). Was in a race last night and several cars crashed around me, and skid sounds with this are just awesome. Not sure I can live with the engine in it's current state though. I've tried all different drivers and options on the sound with no luck. Wonder if this is a SBLive problem only? What are the others who report perfect engine sound running?

Michael Fwiw, Cant you do this by just installing MeatWater's mwn4_10.exe file to a temp directory and just extract the wav files you want? just my $00.02 <g> Cheers Thom_j.

I'm using a SBLive and I think the engine sounds are very good. The only change I've made is to turn down the crash level some. "T.

I agree T. The skid, crash etc sounds are fantastic!! What I was trying to ask {& I guess I didnt make myself clear??} is/was did you find the engine sounds too soft with a kinda background sound in it & you just answered my question below. I have sent MeatWater an email & was nice enough to reply to me. Apparently the engine sound is suppose to emulate what you'd hear if you had a helmet on.. Still soft for me & I cant seem to get the woosh sound out either? 'O' well Thanx for the sounds MeatWater. They are better then the original sounds.. No doubt about it.. Cheers Thom_j. "T.

Darn. I loved Meatwater's stuff for EAW, etc... but I also have a SB Live! (5.1 X-Gamer) and am afraid I am going to have to skip this one. Oh well. -pw
