In CPVS theres a cave scene and I was just wondering what would be a good way to have a "wooosh" sound, like something moving through the air. Can I have one thats soft (like a rock falling) can I have one loud and suprising (like a monster) could I mix the two a bit so the player is confused on where the sounds are coming from, so they dotn knwo what's what and get frantic/fearful in true suspense movie fashion?

What you're going into here is BAM manipulation. You take what you know are sounds and how they sound as BAM and using them to your SFX advantage.

For a woosh sound, I believe I made a MIDI of something like that for the Neo Krysta II soundtrack (on the gamelist). It's called "rain" er something, but I'm pretty sure it's there.

As for rocks, if you're using MIDI interfaces at all, I would recommend a tumbling on keys under the patches "Gunshot" (for a "tiffy" type sound), "Taiko drum" (if you want more of a bassy sound), or hell, do both.

Even if all you have is Notate, play around with either Gunshot or some of the later sound patches around gunshot, I'm sure you can find something abrupt and spacey.

(((Inner Setu: I wish for the life of me that I could remember what kick drums get translated to in MIDI2BAM)))

I'm gonna try that some time. Sounds cool. I forget; does the OHR support speaker alternating? I mean when sound comes out of one speaker and then the other.

The new windows versions have volumes and alternating speakers. LeRoy could you keep me updated cuz I'm a butthead at BAM creation.

I'd like to point out that BAMs are converted back to Midi in the windows version, and thus if you have to use BAM, it's probably not a good idea.

On the other hand, I bet you could use "Seashore". I use it myself for my contest entry for sea-areas (or, I overlay it on ambient music for seashore areas)

Sea shore tends to be laggy (like the sea) the wooosh needs to be quick, like a fist into someones face.
