THE TAIL GUNNER | A Star Citizen experience

[@HybridVAudio]

A lot of you have asked for me to do another one of these type of disabled audio sim style videos for a LONG time now. I finally got some time to hammer away at this one and hope it didn't disappoint! These type of videos take a long time to make since I have to hand edit every single detail and balance all the audio to get perfect feel in the mix. This is why it takes me a long time to start up projects like this and get them to you all. Plus I also have to put up with the server framerates making things look silly when I record them :P Regardless, if you want to support the channel to see more works like this, I have a Patreon now! www.patreon.com/HybridVAudio Any and all support is welcome and will give me more freedom to turn away freelance audio work that I'm not as interested in and put more time into making really fun large scale projects like this one. Thanks for watching, let me know what you would like to see next in a video like this! o7

[@Boosty_Boost]

waaaiiiittt.. so the game does not sound like this ? :/ bummer ..

[@Fractal666]

CIG please hire this talent @RobertsSpaceInd

[@kennethjones8683]

@@Fractal666 YES PLEASE!!! The amount of added immersion is amazing.

[@IceyJones]

in your video description is an error., should it not say "disabled"? Quote: "In this video I explore what Star Citizen would sound like with the audio simulation enabled."

[@HybridVAudio]

@@IceyJones Fixed, thanks :)

[@gereon2508]

This sounds so much better than what we have in-game, I hope they change it.

[@MikePhilbin1966]

Me too.

[@gorgewashington1216]

im not ok with hat you say the radio is less understandable with this old school sound you are in future not in the past ...

[@p5ychojoe138]

@@gorgewashington1216 Honestly future or not, I think it would be fine, at least if they let us choose any effects. I personally prefer old school sounding radio vs how voip sounds in many games, regardless if its local or group type voip.

[@Gregoses]

@@gorgewashington1216 the radio change is not need but when those shots hit the ship it sounds amazing

[@mikecapson1845]

@YungNesz There aint no radio .. download a voice changer.. Video is about sounds of humbling metal, roaring engines and blasting guns. The radio in here is completely pointless to the concept, its just additive, a tasty sauce to a perfect receipt

[@Cal-Mac]

Wow, you can actually feel the impacts. The sense of fear hearing rounds rip through shields and impact the hull is just amazing. Missile impacts really made me jump and the alarms give a great sense of... alarm! So immersive, the coms, the engine rumble, the sound of your guns reverberate through the hull. Honestly so impressed. I really hope CIG take note and even offer you a job!

[@zhapes]

I think the same it’s simply awesome

[@TechCarnivore1]

Holy shit, please contact CIG with this. I want this to be a feature so bad now. Never knew how bad I needed this.

[@rots3123]

They will definitely bring it when engineering gameplay is live, if the ship systems go down the audio simulation of the ship will shutdown and we will hear this kind of sfx in the video.

[@Thristed]

can't agree more! Elite dangerous has something similair build ingame

[@xzwarrior347]

The sound of the bullets hitting your ship ex. 7:05 - 7:15 sounds so thrilling! SC needs to implement better sound like this in the future!

[@notoriousa.l.b4943]

Absolutely incredible. I seriously hope someone at CiG sees this as it's a HUGE step in the right direction. Everything from the sound of the engines being put through the low pass filter, to the damage alarms, radios for internal comms, weapon sounds and impacts. It's a treasure trove of outstanding examples! Exactly what I would expect to hear on a warship!

[@mrcardinal7548]

I usually do not comment but GOD DAMM . I kid you not How addicted I am to this atmospheric space battle experience , Feels like being a part of the crew . I am playing it on loop while studying . PLEASE CONTINUE TO MAKE VIDS LIKE THESE IN THE FUTURE IF YOU HAVE PLANS

[@calvinvail89]

CiG please hire this dude for your sound designs team - holly cow this is amazing, what an incredible job.

[@druid4243]

So much more intense and dramatic than the star-wars pewpew lasers we get in game.

[@avon_c6199]

Holy sh!t o_O This needs to be a thing in StarCitizen! I just came from SaltEMikes' channel...and omg, I had a straightup nerdgasm over how good this sounded, especially when the torpedo hit 6:51 and later impacts from bullets hitting the turret/hull. While I've shut my wallet for a while and made a list of things that need to happen for me to spend fresh money again, I will a 100% put THAT kind of soundscape on the list too now, like seriously, if CIG can do audio somewhat close to what you've worked out here, I'd be super happy. Hats off, amazing work. :D

[@jchacon103]

Great job! The ballistics hitting the hull of the ship is so good!

[@kalafonte3073]

That torp impact sound effect @_@

[@jonnyj.]

Holy shit, this is fucking AMAZING, especially the ballistic bullets hitting the ship from the inferno at 7:08. Really reminded me of the expanse. This NEEDS to be seen by CIG, their audio engineers need to implement this as soon as possible, at least in squadron 42. Audio is such an important part of immersion, as shown by shows like the expanse, and this is literally one of the greatest examples of it ive seen. Well done mate :D

[@IstyManame]

The sound of close-hits is terrifying

[@Stratobrick]

15:20 I wish the game actually sounded like that.

[@Dane_FLY]

just f** amazing how good it can be :D CIG has to hear that !

[@bigbuna]

it have a Elite Dangerous kinda sound thing

[@SpaceCutlet]

Oh my god. this is epic. Holy mother of god. I am usually not into RP stuff, but this one... this is how it should be.

[@puppeteer4916]

100%

[@chromosome24]

I love how you can hear the ship AI through your intercom and the through the ship hull. chef's kiss. It's often forgotten that sound travels well through matter. Every high powered event, such as a turret firing, should have a unique audio register depending on path through the ship it's sound waves travels to the player.

[@ephalanx1]

Honestly, one of the best parts besides the explosions and ram segment, was the AI or actual person saying all hands prepare for quantum jump. That was a very nice touch. Its a small thing but very immersive. Only part I would amp up would be the quantum jump sound as it enters QT.

[@Fire-Bound]

I would pay good money to have that happen in-game.

[@VosperCDN]

Comms chatter sounded so good, realistic and not over the top (unlike a number of movies). Well done.

[@rooster1012]

Not realistic at all unless you are a cop, military radios don't have all that chirping.

[@Swatmat]

@@rooster1012 yes they do, there is a tone when you transmit, after the tones silences you speak so you know half your message wont be missed by speaking before the data packet is sent

[@Roaring2Thunder]

Honestly I don't remember if the radios chirped like that when I was still active duty and I was a radio operator for 6 years 😂

[@moonasha]

@@rooster1012 they definitely used to. The sound changed somewhere during the GWOT

[@yokhanan]

@@rooster1012 Try not getting your info from video games for what is or isn't "realistic". Plenty of real life comms in videos from over the years that have such things.

[@DarkAssassin274]

GOOSEBUMPS!!! WHY IS THIS NOT WHAT CIG USES???? "All hands, prepare for quantum jump." with the reverb hit different. Wow.

[@XBullitt16X]

Holy shit this is so much more immersive, almost feels like I'm in the seat myself, It sounds and feels like actual dogfights irl, it's so good. CIG has to see this, never have I heard the game sounds this good, fantastic work.

[@cromlek6977]

Very cool rework sound; we can feel vacuum of space, dangerousness of each impact and power of battlespaceship. Sure the experience could be much more better with a rework sound design like this in SC :) cool video !

[@deio977]

This video is amazing. The immersion is extreme, it makes you actually "feel" being in the gunner's seat. With headsets with vibration audio, wow, you can experience something like in a real movie. This is something that I'd really like to be implemented out of the box.

[@jamesdunn581]

I want this soooooo bad in the actual game. Thank you for making this proof of concept where less sound is actually MORE!

[@aduhmg3715]

The torp hit at 6:52 is AMAZING

[@Omaricon]

This breathes so much atmosphere into the sound. It suddenly goes from feeling like a game to feeling kind of real and scary. The lack of awareness through sound makes you a lot more focused on the radar and what you can see. I love it!

[@GamerFromSpace]

Star citizen needs to do this like wow, literally a game changer in my opinion

[@JerseyOC]

Love the ram part, my pilot skills were off the charts LUL

[@cirrus393]

Amazing stuff man. From a sound designer for film and TV (also a huge gamer and space sim fan) - you absolutely nailed this!

[@TravelingAnvil]

Thanks so much for this. I've heard the argument for no sound and I did not buy in. Actually hearing an example of how it could be has sold me on the idea. I love it. Great job! I really hope this becomes a feature option in the future.

[@Stratobrick]

6:50 that was an epic hit

[@robinrichards6275]

Excellent way to portray another view of battle. The muffled thuds at the start, the jarring closer in hits, his claustrophobic gunners position all contribute to the immersive, realistic gameplay

[@Artecius92]

I saw someone react to this and I had to come watch it here too. This was amazing, it was a visceral audio experience i'd love to have in SC one day! The comms just made it so much better in every way possible!

[@itsumonihon]

You have an amazing talent for sound design. I wish that CIG would hire you. Clearly you're good at what you do, and your video shows just how much the audio can completely change the experience of a game or movie. It's an underappreciated skill. This audio experience is up there with that of Arrival, Master and Commander or Interstellar. Well done.

[@Yensnor]

The impacts are absolutely a masterpiece of badass, this feels sooo much more immersive. This is the way.

[@alverbenko9521]

A friend linked me to this video. I understand how hard it must be to edit all this sound together. It's an incredible feat! Makes the game seem so much more immersive, and I didn't even think that was possible. Great work! Can't wait to see more.

[@dihler55]

This is RIDICULOUSLY good. Awesome work man!!

[@RomanorumVita]

Idk if SC will lean into this hard sci-fi sound, but we can hope! From a gameplay perspective, it really helps to know when you're being hit by enemy fire. From an immersion standpoint, I prefer this video to what we have.

[@Ickli]

The sounds after the torpedo hit were so visceral!!

[@vincenzosparks2516]

This is legit a masterpiece of audio and fx. Great job!

[@r.daneel.90]

This is awesome. I really hope we get an option to disable the "simulated" sounds soon.

[@obothehobo173]

I like how you can only hear enemy shots when they actually hit

[@ChrisRedheart]

THIS was one of the BEST videos I have watched from this game. I LOVE your editing of this video!!! You are very talented with this!! This REALLY sounds so realistic!!! Thank you for this!! I hope Star Citizen devs really incorporate what you have described!!!

[@luskerox]

Dude... goosebumps... WOW. CIG needs to offer you a job ASAP!

[@Ghost_in_the_machineworks]

This vid deserves far more likes... CR needs to see this.

[@nistramai]

I came from SaltEMike. Thank you so much for making this. I really hope the audio Sim chip doesn't take too long to get implemented in game. I wish it could come sooner than the rest of the blades

[@PlatinumFox]

Ive seen other videos like this and they always gives me a headache and makes my head feel weird and really turns me off to the whole idea of muted sounds in SC. but i gotta say, this is by far the best example ive seen. Missiles/Ballistics hitting the ship and the ship violently taking damage was really cool. also i liked the QT sound. not too sure if im sold on audio simulation off yet but if its like this then it wouldnt be so bad. very cool and nice job!

[@lifes2short4bs73]

This sounds so much better!! great job!

[@ZevesG]

this is awesome, thank you for single handedly delaying sq42 for another 2 years. the second cris sees your video. you should prob have some kind of disclaimmer saying this is edited footage. so new players dont buy the game then call it scam citizen because its nothing like this :D Could you make a quick video of the inferno, changeing the sounds of the gun to something afther the 1890s ?

[@SkibidiToilet4ever]

Incredible sound mix, cig need to take note. This is what I want.

[@WinchesterDelta1]

Now that is immersion. I'm impressed. This is one of the things people will remember.

[@f3nixfire]

This is INCREDIBLE! The immersion created is second to none!

[@MannyCalaveras]

Outstanding work, Hybrid V Audio.

[@tsarrite]

Comms reminds me of my days in an Arma 3 org (TFAR). That gun depression..ugh The audio work is amazing! CIG take note, lets get a disable audio sim off feature. Thanks for sharing and for all your hard work.

[@batmanofsweden5920]

I was waiting for change of turret mid battle to hear and see the chaos that happens in the corridors while under heavy fire - that would be amazing next time. I think many people would be ok with shorter clips but with more variation too :) the more of that the more interest and this is right up Chris`s alley. GJ man!

[@Citizen-Nurseman]

THEY DID IT DUDE, YOU GOT IT IN< CITCON!

[@curry117brine6]

if this is what gets implemented in the future i'll for sure be getting some better headphones, love this edit

[@Yasma-]

15:21 eargasm!!!!!!

[@ovoj]

I almost bought the game on this. Only to realise it's edited. Fantastic job. This was truly amazing

[@MaybeAnnatar]

It's really rude of you to show me something I didn't know I needed this bad considering it's not in game. Played this on my studio speaker setup (it's a 5.2.4 surround setup) and it sounds FANTASTIC

[@captainglume]

Wow! Great job! Really really well done! ♥

[@rooivalkza7068]

I have lost count how many times I have watched / listened to this....

[@Splincir]

Wow, now thats what I expect for space combat. That was great. And the quantum at the end was... "chefs kiss". Now you need to do one where the battle starts in space but goes into atmosphere. Maybe even multiple planets or moons so we can hear what it sounds like in different density

[@paycation3448]

🚀🔊 Woah, the tail gunning with realistic audio is so immersive! 💥🚀 Feels like I'm really in deep space! Amazing job, keep up the good work!👏👩‍🚀🌌🐷✨

[@Ryferion]

This was just riveting! I blasted them on my nice ol speakers on my TV, and the sound just came out so well and really sold the game way more! Amazing work :D

[@Shawnsrumi]

This is the audio Star Citizen deserves

[@angus2287]

CIG take note!

[@misterbroda9872]

Love it

[@ArmySniperDude21]

This is needed… RSI just found the next audio guy!

[@NINTHSKULL]

This is much better. I hope CIG will go in this direction! Maybe a little less heavy on the radio compression though.

[@geronimo5537]

10/10 audio. Just needs some varied warning sounds for damaged systems.

[@Avean]

CIG you have billions....please hire this guy!

[@Blazergutz]

I wish tthis was in game or able to achieve, so many ships i fly would sound so much more epic with the punch this audio has

[@rob-donald6190]

Fantastic Job!!! Looked like a lot of fun!

[@SmolFenFen]

This is really compelling, actually got my heart beating faster when you got hit

[@charlieoscarsimpressions]

Great job🤙🏻

[@MisterPostit]

Incredible ! I loved it, please work at CIG for god's sake we need you ! o7

[@DriftaholiC]

They just need to hire you as head of the audio team. This is 10000000x better then the childishly overdone reverb bullshit they just posted. So impactful when you took hits. Loved it.

[@sky173]

Well done. Love the audio. You're hired! lol

[@AzzaRudd]

I really prefer this way of doing things, so awesome We can do it the SC way when we're in atmo :)

This video is too hot for CIG not to see. AMAZING!

[@hj-redravenheng3822]

This audio is awesome, well done!

[@gymcel565]

Amazing work. This has been said alot already but I hope CIG takes notes. Would love to see this as an option in game.

[@StephMcAlea]

I hope CIG pay you to create this in-game!

[@Phoenixstorm36]

Good audio design can work wonders, this was a delightful experinece for my ears :3

[@EmanuelSpader]

I would absolutely love it if this is what it sounded like in star citizen when i'm flying. Amazing! It felt so real watching this!

[@rhadiem]

Very cool video. Audio and comms were great. To me though this really highlights how un-fun turrets will be for a lot of people. I didn't see any kills from a ship made to kill fighters, and then it was forced to leave due to nose damage. Hopefully the new flight model will help with this.

[@pedraaaa]

@Cig hire this man!! Work of art.

[@Deifury]

Incredible immersion ! I wonder what kind of sound you would rework for atmospheric entering and combat...

[@anothergoogleuser]

Thanks for sharing.

[@MrFWStoner]

That torpedo impact scared the hell out of me. haha

[@KeuzySC]

Everything is spot on, but that QT was next-level.

[@ibes1508]

this is actually insanely good... really hope they rework the sounds.

[@sernolstic4981]

I REALLY hope CGI sees this and reviews this I know they're in the process of evaluating sounds in game right now.

[@Ticoriko]

CIG CHRIS get on this , disabling sound sim should be a CHOICE we all get to make

[@WraxLP]

This one is way better than the new sound system just released by cig in the News Video… not to be mean but this is just a masterwork and i just sounds sooo realistic and good
