The Plans for the Second Barrow-Downs Audio Adaption! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I followed your first project on and off and wished I'd taken part. So, I'm not going to pass up this opportunity. As long as you don't mind a pompous English twit in your recordings, I'd like to join in an active role.

If you are taking suggestions for other ideas, (yes, one thing at a time, and all), I always thought that The Council of Elrond would be a good one. Nice and long, plenty of lines for everyone, and a good, juicy, background devolopping scene.

I must ask, though, for these recordings, will you be wanting sound effects?

Definitely, we will be using some sound effects in our current project, so I'm sure we will be using them in this one as well. We aren't sure the extent of them yet - but in The Ring Goes South I'm pretty sure you'll be hearing wolves howl, amongst other things!

Do you have any recording device that you would be able to use to give us a voice sample?

I have some software called 'cooledit' which is excellent for sound recording. I've also got a microphone somewhere... I'll get on to it in the morning.

This sounds like a lot of fun! Depending on the time requirements, I could contribute a voice-over (I rather like the idea of being the narrator), some sound effects, and perhaps some original music, scored on my new Yamaha ES-7.

I think that's kind of an idea that we haven't discussed as yet... We made a few homemade sound effects when Brinn was visiting us here in Helsinki and they turned out quite fine (that recording we made of the fellowship in front of the gates of Moria). So the question is whether we wish to use sound effects here as well, and whether to make them ourselves or to fall into using those sound effect cd's there are in the market.

I'd vote for home-made sound effects and if you Hookbill had that in mind I'll welcome you all the warmer. I love coming up with that sort of things but two heads create more than one (as I haven't yet heard of anyone else being enthusiastic about making them - if that has been due to shyness, please come forwards)!

Somehow using ready-bought sound effects would sound like betraying the amateurish (amare = to love, amateur = a lover) quality we have in these things. But that's only my opinion...
