I just wanted to let you guys know that I:

Reorchestrate the complete original Pinball soundtrack for the Pinsound Board as we speak. Music is almost done, I have someone doing the speech samples who sounds just like Arnie in 1991 and I'm working on the FX. A lot of work is left, but I think it's well worth it. Can't wait to hear the original music in stereo and with real instruments. I think it fits really well but let me know what you think of it:

I'm also speaking to the Color DMD team. They're checking out how overseas contracts work (I'm from germany). If they can work it out I will try to color T2.

Besides the fact the T800 in the animation doesn't look like a T800 I'm not sure if I should go for a blueish version to immitate the chrome (just like the sideart etc.) or if I should go for gray.

Let me know what you think:

I'm glad you like it

That's good - I think the blue fits to the rest of the design very well! Money will be taken by Color DMD I guess Have to wait to sign a contract and I really don't know what it's up to or how they compensate the time spent on it.

Awesome!

I know that someone else is onto that but I really don't want to do that. The reason why is that I also don't want to change the music in the sense of the "writing". I want to keep it as it was intended, just update it. I know this isn't for everyone but I really like the original soundtrack of the game and Arnolds phrases, so I'll keep them. I'd love to add "F*ck you a**hole" though BUT: You may have some ideas, let me know and I'll see if there is a nice way to implement them. I know it's possible to use different samples for the same purpose.

All the gunshots are replaced by gunshots from the movies, just as an example for staying as close as possible

I'm glad you guys like it so far

Dear T2 Clubmembers
Some may know I'm working on redoing all the sounds/music for the T2.
I just received all the speech samples redone by Joe Gaudet. He did a great job immitating our beloved Arnie.

Give Joes YouTube Channel a visit: http://www.youtube.com/user/JoeGaudet

He did all this work for free and was super cool to work with. I'm really thankfull he supports us

He coppied all the speech samples pretty much spot on but also gave us up to 6 slightly different versions of each sample and some additional stuff I don't want to speak about yet. The Pinsoundboard gives you the possibility to use multiple samples for each phrase and pick them randomly.

I promise this will be awesome.

Gomo. I have that part if you can't find it anywhere in Canada or the US.

Guys, I'm collecting whishes for more "custom" phrases for the T2. I think it would be nice if we donated a little bit to Joe for his great work, too. I'm waiting for Joe to reply on that though.

Some whishes that have allready been collected are:

- JACKPOT!!!
- SUPER JACKPOT!!!
- Taunts for tilt (I'll leave this open to Joe)

It would be highly appreciated to donate a few bucks to Joe if you like his work. He won't take the money for himself but forward it to charity projects of his choice. His PayPal is "[email protected]". It's not about the amount but rather about the appreciation of his work. He didn't ask for this, he's not on the boards or anything.

The whole project should be finished withing the next few weeks. Music and speech are almost done. Fx will take a little, troubleshooting/mixing/mastering/remixing/cutting will also take a little.

I don't have a Pinsound Board myself and I really need to test this stuff on a real machine before releasing it. Future updates/whishes are very possible.

Okay guys, here's a bad "as is" game with the reorchestration. It's not completely finished but not far away.

Let me know what you think: https://www.dropbox.com/s/oa5q47fqu4z9yh3/T2%20Reorchestrated.mp3?dl=0

Thanks for the feedback. I have up to 5 samples for each quote. Users can delete all samples they dont like easily.

Making sfx louder is no problem. I think depending on the sound system, people will have to make slight volume adjustments here and there.

Guys,

my T2 Reorchestration for the Pinsoundboard is finished and available as a free download.
If you don't know what's the Pinsoundboard, please check out http://www.pinsound.org/

For more information and a preview on my reorchestration for the T2 check the news on pinsound:

I'm glad you want to get the Board because of my Reorchestration. That's all the positive feedback I'd ever need. Thank you so much. BTW. you can allready download it at pinsound-community.org and give it a listen with the Pinsound Studio or just single samples if you're interested

So.... get one

That's usually the switch with the little roller (sorry, don't know what they're called). It's not registering when it's pressed back. A little adjustment should do it!

Yes,

Pinsound may offers a complete package in the future, but I'm not sure on that.
Having it in stereo is ONE point (you can still play in mono, no problem). The original speakers are very very bad and actually the wiring Williams did is incorrect. It should be corrected anyways and wiring up the stereo setup took me 5-10 minutes.

If you're spending the money on a pinsound board, do a speaker upgrade, get some wire, a 7 pin connector and go stereo with awesome sound. Having the possibility to EQ the sub and the backbox seperately makes this a must.

Ps.

I wouldn't get a prepared pinball upgrade for the speakers. These are always put together with the thought of mono. Usualy midrange-, highrangespeaker and a subwoofer. I'd get two broadband speakers for the backbox and one sub. I usually go for Visaton speakers, they're pretty cheap but sound great - don't know if they're available outside europe though.

It totally depends on what you want. Wiring is straight forward. Two wires per speaker, plus and minus. They go to the data east connector on the pinsound board. The Data East connector is a 7 pin 1.56" connector.

I don't know if Visaton speakers are available in Canada or the US. But there will be something similar. It's just what I use.

Yup... but it's not programmed into the game. You will need the Pinsound Board.

Get a P-Roc, reprogam the whole game, integrate my soundtrack, boom. Only other option you have.

It's a good one. You won't be disapointed with the pinsound board. It's very well made and has great features to make the sound stand out the way YOU want.

crazy score. 3 ball and factory settings?

Red for me.

I made videos of my Pinsound Reorchestration and OST version. Please don't mind the canon-sound-bug (sound is way too long), Pinsound guys are working on it!

My cannon is fast. Do you think it could be a problem actually?

Yes, it was working and just got fast one day when I booted up the game and played a round.

You will need to buy a Pinsound Board, the mix is for free. The OST Version was a 60 minutes job of cutting... the reorchestration took me 200 hours to redo with real instruments in my studio.

Comparing Joe Gaudets interpretations of the original files he's like 98% on in my opinion. You may check out the original mix on computer speakers instead of the video.

You can download both of my versions for free at pinsound-community.org.

Never change a running system. There is no need to "repair" something that's working and there is always a chance to damage the board no matter how good/carefully you are.

Yes. You can modify everything as you wish. Using the stock voice is no problem. It will just sound really really bad in comparison quality wise. It will take you one minute to do!

In your opinion. I think it's rather harsh to discredit Joe Gaudets work who did this all for free.

There aren't many who could do it better or did it for free.
