This is a page of DICE, the videogamers on this forum will know this company.
Interesting to see how they record guns for a video game!!!
This is a mic comparison and positioning comparison

uu, nice, lots of work on those weapons, never thought it would be this complicated.

Haha thats awesome Mao. The sound was so good, I got a shout from downstairs asking what was going on up there!

MindMunch · June 29th, 2011, 04:48 PM

Great video : )
I loved the sound design that Dice did on Mirror´s Edge. It´s a shame that they´ve pulled the plug on the sequel.

Epic video! Really liked the 400m away ones, so huge, maybe they should try to Friedman that bitch.

I have the sound effects bible, it shows how to mic various weapons.. its a bitch(Just like all "foley"work.).

Danablos · June 29th, 2011, 05:43 PM

I thought the olympus camera and Zoom H2 sounded the best alone. The pair of 57s was good too.

fenixdoido · July 1st, 2011, 03:52 PM

At the bonus dvd of terminator 2, director's cut, there is a 'how to' they produced the weapons sound on the movie. Very cool.

colonel_claypoo · July 1st, 2011, 05:30 PM

that's very cool.
thanks for sharing!

kaomao · July 1st, 2011, 08:34 PM

Do it, you wont regret it.

ALLOT of it is pretty common knowledge among us sound geeks, but the parts on how to build and record foleystages etc. was just awesome.

I now know what I'm spending the rest of my day researching and geeking out about

From Wikipedia:

Quote:

In February 2011, it was reported that development on Mirror's Edge 2 had been "stopped" after EA rejected a prototype submitted for a sequel.[81] EA later clarified that they consider Mirror's Edge "an important franchise", but otherwise had no further announcements.[82] EA President Frank Gibeau confirmed on E3 2011 that a sequel is in development, and that it may run on the Frostbite 2 gaming engine.[83]

I loved Mirrors Edge too.

@Mutant:

Awesome! That´s some great news!

I was expecting a thread of "We recorded this <insert instrument here> and it sounded like a soggy arse, then i pulled out this <insert outboard gear> and BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!"

I love the second mic setup. Really full and warm.
