Capital Ship Battle - Elite Dangerous (Full Sound Replacement)

Sound exercise I sometimes do. All audio and music made by me.
No library assets. Everything from my field recording library and synthesis. Music was an outtake from Lithium City so I repurposed it here.

Yepp, the video was very cool but that's exactly what I was thinking. It's like 2 tall sailships from the 16-17th century opening their full broadside salvos onto eachother in very close proximity.

[@richardjohnson4696]

I watched an animation of how two spaceships would actually fight in space. It was boring as hell but accurate. There is no swooping around at all. The amount of thruster use to position the nose of the vehicle was ridiculous. It basically showed that a ball shaped spaceship would be the best type of shape and firing actual destructive lasers would be the best weapon. Any sort of guns firing or missiles being fired would throw the trajectory off of the ship and missiles would basically be useless in space. I guess that is why animation like this is called Science Fiction.

[@richardjohnson4696]

@@chamberlane2899 Just to cut to the chase. Spaceships that battle one another in space is basically pointless. The point I was trying to make.. Any and all science fiction movies and even science fiction books are totally inaccurate. Star Trek, Star Wars, Battle Star Galactica, Guardians of the Galaxy.. Etc , etc are not even close to understanding physics in zero gravity and the vacuum of space. They are basically creating clueless idiots who watch them and think that is how it all would be, when in actuality it is nowhere close.

Hey John, do you mind if I ask how the HECK did you make the sound for the Elite Dangerous logo at the end?!? To me, it sounds more like a light speed sonic boom! I’d love to know how you made it or even just a little story on how you came up with the sound! Also, I love your work and I hope you make more songs and redesigns!✨🤍

[@johncamara29]

Hello! Thanks for the kind words! It's all about layering a lot of sounds together. For the logo there's 3 parts/sections in time: Startup, Main, and Decay. Startup: -- There's an inital ramp up or spool at 2:07 which is a reversed guitar slide sliding on all strings but it's pitched higher along with some delay and chorus effects to make it sound more mechanical. It's exaggerated a bit more by manually drawing in a pitch curve up. Main: -- There's two explosions in quick succession at 2:10 The first uses a guitar pick doing a quick slide from the bridge of a guitar and the second uses some thunder. I also support those two sounds on the bottom end with slowed down fireworks explosions and a bass synthesizer Decay: -- At 2:12 a sound starts to creep in kind of like how gunshots have a tail. It me saying "SHH"" with a wide smile then gradually forming my lips to form a "U" or "you" sound while still trying to say "SHH". I then slow it down quite a lot so its pitch gets lowered to sound a bit scary and ambiguous. A lot of reverb also applied to help it.

[@Nova_Alexander]

@@johncamara29 omg thank you for the info! I was thinking of incorporating sound like this into animations I do, so you are a godsend for lending some advice and how you specifically did it, so I can kinda trial & error to make my own sound effects based off it! Once again, Thank you very much!✨🤍
