Hi guys,

I finally released a 0.9v of my IJ (Williams) Reorchestration for the Pinsound Board. I'm pretty burned out on this one. I promise I'll finish it to 1.0 (it's just missing very few sounds and 2 jingles and some loudness fixes as far as I remember) but right now my Studio is booked until march and I really need to work on something else right now.

This is a pretty spot on reorchestration for IJ. All the sounds you know and love (or hate) are there - all in beautiful 44.1khz 16bit CD Stereo quality.

What was done?

- Searching the COMPLETE OST for all the small loops that get used during gameplay and cutting them

- Reorchestrating all the loops, fanfares (jingles) that are not in the movies at all (most jingles, some of the music like tank chase or well of souls)

- Enhancing the SFX or recreating it from the ground up (with original sounds from the movies [bluray editions]) (173 Files!!!!)

- Searching for all the speech samples in the movies, cutting it, cleaning it from the 5.1 source (as far as possible). I also added many new speech samples that weren't in the game before. I also enhanced the sound of the original Sallah samples that were only recorded for the pinball machine. 189 Samples now instead of 89 originally!

Since some people don't know what the pinsound board is... please go here: www.pinsound.org

You will need the board to use my sounds. No, you don't need extra roms. Simply replace the original WPC DCS board in your machine.

I do recommend a stereo upgrade for your machine with two identical Hifi speakers for best possible stereo field. This requires some hacking. You won't regret it. Pinsound also sells a wiring harness for this upgrade.

You can download my reorchestration for free at www.pinsound-community.org.

Take a listen to my preview here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5bjfvpslqaz21t0/Indy%200.9%20Preview.mp3?dl=0

I made this in my spare time and it took 250+ hours. If you like my work and you want to support me I'm happy about any donations. White Water will be up next with complete new speech spoken by Warren Davis, the original voice of Wet Willy.

You may want to check out my other mix for Terminator 2:

Or the OST Version

Any comments, feedback and constructive criticism are welcome.

Do it. You wont be disapointed. Features are up ahead that I can't talk too much about now... but this will be the perfect mod (with a Color DMD) for the IJ. I love it in my machine!

Also... if people are tired of the rather short loops of the music (I like it somehow)... you can always use the OST version that someone made on the pinsound-community board and mix it with my sounds.

I think they got the boards now and test them as we speak. They will probably ship soon!

Guys over at Pinsound have been so nice to make a preview youtube video - it contains the same music I posted, though.

Well... I'm close to be done so the next release will be 1.0

If there is something I don't like I might change it in the future and let people know. I'm also open to suggestions - but I actually wont go back into the sounds themselves. Volume, extras, whishes...

Right now... I'm waiting for Chris Granner... he might redo one of most satisfying sounds of the machine for us... no, not billions... I'd love to have one of the sounds redone by him.

Uploading an Update right now. It comes with a config.ini with my custom ducking settings. Please read the txt file I provided.

Since the last version this is what happened:

- Recut almost all the "gun" sfx as there was some delay with certain sounds when targets are hit (I simply didn't cut right at the transient the first time I did it)

- Reorchestrated "Three Challenges" instead of using the OST... now it's the fast "Granner-Version" which I prefer

- Reorchestrated "Steal The Stones" to sound like Granners version instead of the OST

- Reorchestrated "Choose Wisely" with a choir, organs to sound like Granners version instead of the OST.

- Reorchestrated the "You have chosen wisely" jingle that was just the voice in the last version. Now with choir and drum etc.

- MANY MANY MANY volume fixes

- Less bass in the droptarget boom so your house wont fall apart.

This update should be available soon at Pinsound-Community.org

Please let me know what you think!

Almost done. Basicaly one jingle and a few tweaks left.

Thanks node! I'm glad people like it!

Don't see anything wrong with a 10k IJ... I have mine and it's far away from beeing a 10k IJ.... I shouldn't share my work... maybe it would be a 10k IJ then... muaha.

The Pinsound Board isn't compatible with Stern Pins and I don't think it can be. I also don't know if the Pinsound Team (Nicolas and Timothee) plan to make one for Stern games in the future.

What I can say is: Unless someone seriously pays me to do it, I won't do pins I don't own. It's just too much work doing it the way I do it. I'm constantly contacting Chris Granner (THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!), I contact voice actors or even the original actors... I collect donations to pay them. And besides that... I reorchestrate... which means most of the time I'm listening and searching for fitting sounds.

Audio Engineering is what I also do for a living so... yeah, It's one part fun, one part job, one part "I want my pins to sound better and maybe other people like it".

Contacted Chris Granner today. At first he said "It's Davies" without listening to it. I told him I wasn't sure after listening back so I sent him the file. His response: "Wow, I am totally not sure. I will ask around."

That's what he's doing now. Then he said "I thought it was me at the beginning of the line, but then at the end I didn't think so. I've sent a query to Brian Eddy & Mark Ritchie, hope one of them remembers."

I'll let you know

v0.97 will be up soon on pinsound-community.org (within the next 24h)

Updates:

- volume fixes
- done some sfx that was missing
- narrow escape
- fixes fixes fixes

It's interesting that granner and I were so sure it's Davies until giving it another listen.

Brian Eddy can't remember. Waiting for others to answer.

Aaaaand it's up:

Thanks! I'm glad you like it! Another update coming soon!

Someone else had the exact same problem! Please contact the pinsound guys about it!

I took them down. Yes. Not because I wanted. I think most of the rights of this one belong to Disney anyway...

Found out it's in a grey zone of Copyrights so Williams doesn't own everything.

Doesn't mean anything. Just a fact. Won't help though. I still need their permission.

Guys. Please stop asking for the files on the forum. Might be very contra productive.

I'm just doing a huge update to the IJ Reorchestration. Compressing and limiting all the vocals to be exactly the same in volume... also doing some other updates to the whole package. Too bad I can't release it.

Ok, beeing threated for saying I'm working on something for myself. This whole PPS thing is just plain wrong. I'm outta this.

He's starting to hit with low blows. You know... That kind of "others think you are a bad boy, too" talking. This is just out of my responsibility, now. Fuck this shit and fuck Rick. Ban me, sue me. It's nuts. Using someone i actually look up to against me is beyond being someone protecting his ip that's not even stolen - that's just being an asshole.

This is so ridiculous it's starts to be funny. I bet he never even heard my work. Good luck getting anyone to do this kind of work ever again... Except for granner himself.

Use Paynemic is one guy with a golden ear. He found out that the majority of the speech samples are too slow. 10-12%, so the pitch is lower.

Top men working on it right now.

Can we stop talking about Rick in my threads... ?

If it weren't for Disney and this beeing an open forum - of course.

That doesn't mean I can publish what ever I want.

Btw: I might get AJ LoCascio to do Indy impressions. What do you guys want him to do for IJ?

All IJ Quotes have been redone to the correct speed - thanks again for pointing that out to me, paynemic.

I'm making a list for AJ... this is your chance to have special quotes by Henry and Indy.

Check him out, I think he sounds fantastic.

Any donations to him would be greatly appreciated as he is doing it for free!

Guys. Come up with quotes the game needs from indy! I'd like to send AJ the list in the next few days.

There is no reason to bother AJ with quotes that are in the movie but I might put some of them in. Thanks.

Some of the suggestions are already in there. Play more to find them Haha.

Thanks for your input.

Never tried to compete with Granners work. I enhanced what's allready there. Do you use my mix with the pinsound board? Doesn't sound like it. I think most people can't look back after they played with my mix. I'm not the one who composed anything - that goes all to Granner and that Dude is a genious. No doubt about that.

Ps. There is no special soundevent for each locked ball, which is too bad because I'd love to integrate that.

There seems to be a feature on newer firmwares that allow preloaded files. I can't test it because I'm on an old firmware because of the shaker support that was in there. (please don't ask - they're working on it). The delay really isn't bad over here though.

Wow. That seems to be a really old version.

That's what I'm talking about. These are great.

Got AJ's files and they're sounding GREAT.

Since the AJ Files are NOT under the copyright of anyone but AJ and me, you can hit me up to get them.

Unintuitive? I don't get it. It must be the easiest software ever. It does everything you could ever want easily. As work everything...or doesn't do the work for you. Learn it. It's not hard to use.
