I applaud you for trying to get the sound right at the source. Sounds like you've got one layer close to figured out... now you've got to figure out and blend in the other four or five lol depending on how you do it.

... maybe a little too much distortion... well there's actually no "distortion" as an effect per say.. more likely you mean over compressed?... Though an unfortunate degree of compression, even a high degree of data compression has to occur in order for these files to be played at a seemingly loud enough level in the game, which is unfortunate when you're going for full range clarity :/ and poses an extra challenge when the bulk of your mix lives down below 3khz but you still need it to cut through in gameplay. Maybe you could shed some insight onto how to approach the issue?

While the final version will be a touch cleaner in spots, I'll admit it's been tempting to overdo the drive/gain in an attempt to further obscure the fact that my voice actor is clearly not Adam Driver lol. Feedback appreciated... sort of lol.

So awesome...

I'm pretty sure they cleaned up his vocal a little extra for the trailer. In the movie his voice seemed much more distorted to me. True, The main challenge was balancing out too much overdrive/trying to cover up the fact that I don't sound like Adam Driver... I have a few more ideas on how to approach it. I'll make another attempt soon I think.

Thanks! I was a little involved with the composition of the first 2 songs. and heavily involved in all the arrangements. I played bass, sang some backups, did all the tracking, and editing inside 2 weeks, then got someone else to mix it. Though in retrospect.. I could have done it as well. Bird/Glass is a beauty Dave (the singer) wrote maybe a decade ago. He's quite the songwriting talent. The punchline for 'At least she said "Enjoy"' (your mess of a life for the rest of your life) was taken from a real phone call from a girl... ya that's how she broke up with him, then hung up. lol. Comments appreciated, thanks!

I'm a PC user. Running Cubase 5 (screw pro tools) I've got some outboard gear, tube preamps/compressor, and Line6Pod for guitar/amp processing and huge variety of effects. I've got loads of virtual instruments in Reason though I'm currently re-learning how to use them all. I'm working on some synthetic music that I can hopefully show off soon. I'll be fully up and running with that stuff as soon as I grab a keyboard and hopefully some basic analog synth units. So far I've just been recording bands and rock music. Here's an EP I did with my band last year. pretty cheaply done but it turned out ok. Cheers lads. https://thedangerbees.bandcamp.com also listen to my Kylo Ren voice effect if you haven't already: https://soundcloud.com/kefkasfx/iamkyloren

Here's my Kylo Ren sampler. https://soundcloud.com/kefkasfx/iamkyloren Any additional dialogue available on request

Thanks. There's some tube saturation built in to a vocal channel strip plugin I'm using, also Datube which is a simple tube drive plugin I think came with Cubase. Really anything that simulates what a 12ax7 preamp tube does will do the trick. If I were to do it again, (for a paying gig) I might re-amp the signal and put it through over-driven tube pre-amps, maybe some overdrive pedals and/or my guitar tube amp. I'm sure they did something similar for the real thing

Oh right, both actually. There's 4 different layers doing different stuff. Heavy compression on some, little on others, and many different stages of tube saturation.

Thanks, ya I cleaned it up some, balanced it a bit better, compressed less on the ouput bringing out some deeper low end... re-uploaded! check it! same link https://soundcloud.com/kefkasfx/iamkyloren

Here's the final version for now https://soundcloud.com/kefkasfx/iamkyloren If anyone's interested give me a shout.

Dudes check this out! I think this is nearly as close as I'm going to get it. Feedback much appreciated http://vocaroo.com/i/s0DTUE8yqDmO

True, the EQ is a little out of balance I was tinkering with it too much, trying to compensate for his lack-luster performance, and boosting all sorts of noise Adam driver is fired but I'm still going to nail this stay tuned. Thanks for checkin it.

... its works more or less, he's so soft spoken in his interviews so he doesn't at all come across as in character, plus the noise floor and room tone is so high and the effects amplify that.. I'm going to go ahead and make a customized Kyloren sound pack and post that later. Keep watching lads.

Ah here we go. First test: Adam driver giving an interview as Kylo Ren. Turns out I can actually do a slightly better job with my own voice, this recording I sampled off of Youtube is full of noise still you get the idea. Some further tweaking required but let me know what you guys think? http://vocaroo.com/i/s00p8zWOHQmz

Nice idea but that Vocaroo site just records you on the spot via your camera microphone... to be clear I'm not doing an impersonation here lol. I replicated the effects processing using plugins that gets you the Kylo Ren voice/mask effect and it seems to work well on almost any male voice recording, I've yet to put some Adam Driver dialogue through it though I might try that today Any other suggestions on where I can upload some samples to show you guys? is myspace still a thing? lol

Good call

Dudes, I've got a pretty "darn good if I can say so" Kylo Ren effect going, even with my own voice. it's totally usable and frankly beats what the jokers on youtube are doing. Pardon me, I just joined this forum, is there a way to send/post a sample file? Otherwise anyone interested can message me with their email and I'll send a small mp3 over. If anyone needs Kylo Ren dialogue for their mod, I believe I can generate it.

That gets you part of the way there... the rest is a simple doubling effect mixed hot, compression, and a couple midrange EQ bands boosted, driving multiple stages of tube drive/saturation. I'm convinced I've got a 95% convincing Kylo Ren effect going with my own voice. Still needs minor tweaking and EQing but I can send you a sample of what I've got so far if you're into it, I could record whatever Kylo Ren dialogue you'd like. That goes for anybody If you don't like it, you could always not use it

I just read that on the other thread! If you can figure out how to pull the audio from the disney infinity Gamedata I can definitely format it for JA. I don't have disney infinity... but I was even thinking about trying to replicate the mask effect, that way I could run any dry Adam Driver dialogue through it and it would work... either way, I'll look into it!

Hey lads and lasses, I'm an audio engineer who's getting into sound design and SFX. Anyone making a mod, let me know if you want sound and I'd be happy to deliver. I have the gear and the know-how just in it for the experience and the fun of star wars. Happy to provide sound effects and voices for characters, weapons, special effects, foley, ambiance, even music. Just let me know what your mod or playermodel needs and you've got it! Cheers

Hey ya'll. If you ever ran into a switch style saber staffer you couldn't beat.. it was probably me Soresu/Juyo. Speed, agression, and endless combos are my thing. None of that jumpy, pokey, wiggly stuff for me, though I'll admit a very good ataru fighter is still my achilles heel. I love Modding this game! I'm not a coder (yet) though I've had a lot of fun messing with NPC files and putting other people's skins and models to work. I'm a very skilled SOUND engineer who wants to attach his name to some worthy projects. Very high quality sound design, can even do original music scores and I'm willing to work for free at the moment. If anybody needs sounds, look no further! looking forward to dueling and collaborating with my fellow star wars JA fans! Cheers.
