Wow, this is sounding great! Can I just say, keep up the good work?

Also...I may be seeing things but...


Does this confirm we're back to blue menus!? :happy:
I hate orange. This would make me very happy if it is true!

Looks like purple menu to me.

[lolwut666]

Looks like ME2's menu.

It looks blue because of the lightning in the room, I think.

^It's actually a difference between the camera's framerate and the tv's.

What are you guys using for MIDI controllers in the studio? I've got an Axiom at home, love it. Oh and one last question: do y'all have a lot of outboard gear? Some places you walk into are just jammed with goodies (SSL compressors, Neve Pre's, LA Two-Ways *drool*) and are generally a gear porn overdose.

We keep things pretty simple on the MIDI controller front.  I think most of the guys find that we don't need much for sound design, just a few knobs and faders that are assignable on the fly.  Not much outboard gear either, it's something we'd like to have more of but hardware gets very expensive when you need to outfit a whole team with it

do you guys use Pro-tools hd?

Well you guys really improved the sound design between ME1 and ME2! I have faith that you guys will do the same fantastic job in 3!

Thanks!  We all love the ME universe and are always trying to give it the audio treatment that it deserves.

Mr. Green, does modding the weapon also affects how it sounds?
(Not quite sure if this wasn't asked before.

 I love the new sound.  It sounds primal, and vicious! 

[Haleeadf]

Actually my fav. weapon was the widow it presented just strength and power 1 shot 1 kill i loved it.
Next thing what i liked was the nuke launcher very cool. What i disliked sometimes was that sometimes it heard like plastic weapons. Oh and if i shot with widow it heard very badass but if legion fired with widow it just heard **** rly. The weapons of squad members should sound as they sound if you fire them.

I liked that handgun with laser targeting, the sound was strong.
I belive that Mass Effect 3 should have a gun that makes you remember the bank robbery scene from Dirty Harry upon fireing.

We're definitely hoping to add some audible feedback to the modding system.  Having said that, we want the weapons to each have identifiable character, so we don't want to change things too drastically.  Right now the goal is to add detail, rather than swapping out sounds completely.

Can't say how happy this makes me good sir. That's one of the things about the Weapons in Mass Effect 2 that I love so much. They're each so distinct I can rattle off their names by memory. The only thing I can do that with in ME1 is the weapons manufacterers

Of course some of the weapons are purely energy based so all the rules go out the window.  I've had a few sleepless nights trying to figure out what a laser gun should sound like from far away...   pew pew pew?

I'd have said a low, bassy hum.

Under the command of our handsome lead, Rob Blake, I'm handling the weapon audio for ME3, so I thought I'd come say hi and that I'm glad you all seem to like the new assault rifle

Let me know if you have any favorites from ME2 (though I can't take credit for them), I'm very interested in which ones struck a chord. I played infiltrator on my first ME2 playthrough, and I have to agree that the Widow is a beefy kind of wonderful. Oh, and Rob wasn't kidding about the biotics/powers sounding waaay better... Get a new subwoofer and prepare for a body massage!!

I did enjoy both sound environments in Mass Effect 1 and 2, but bass effects were a lot more impressive in the latter. From what I here read, I the third one must be even better. Oh, and the best sounding weapon in ME2 was either collector particle beam or widow for me. If there will be a laser gun in ME3, I'd like it to sound a bit like an electric welding machine. 

But a question about of the subwoofer sounds in ME3... Does the quoted comment mean there is a complitely separate subwoofer sound channel or just some (hopefully also adjustable) crossover frequency for all sound effects?
