Deep Thrust

Description
Thrusters and engines emit a deeper, more muffled sound than before.

Adjusted the Travel Drive, jet, maneuvering, stutter, ship stress, boost, acceleration, landing, takeoff, and breaking .wav files with a -15 db to -5db offset, -50% to 0% pitch offset, +10 to +20% bass increase with modulating effects for more pleasing sound effects. Many audio effects have pop-in artifacts removed via spectrogram analysis.

This mod is currently reworking 538 sound effects and does not require new save. Can be safely removed at any time.

If any sound effects are annoying, let me know so I can fix! Supports all DLC and any ship packs that use vanilla sfx.

For a similar mod for weapons and impacts, check out Deep Impact:

Deep Thrust and Deep Impact are intended to be combined. With both installed I recommend keeping effects at 100% and lowering Voice, UI, Music, and Ambient down to ~50%.

My immature ass really giggled when I read the title "deep thrusts". Awesome mod though!

@Dan.Drummer Thank you! When that DLC goes on sale I can pick it up. In meantime it will have to be annoying :P

Just have been super busy irl sadly.

luve your sound mods! thx for both!
Maybe you could adapt the sound of the new Emessary? it's way too bumpy and annoying :)

@technolibra - The actual sound file paths will need to be adjusted. You can extract VRO's sound_library.xml to verify what sounds you gotta fix.

ive just been running them together, certain ships have the sounds from your mods and some dont, it is what it is. ill probably look into finding a way to load your mod after VRO so it overwrites everything.

@technolibra - I do not play VRO so I have not made a mod for it.

VRO uses many custom sound files so it is not going to be a direct replacement but more of a remake.

If you want help learning how to make a mod like this feel free to DM me on Egosoft discord.

does both of these mods work with VRO? has a dev made a compatability patch if not?

Thanks for this mod shadowed. The clicking sound pissed me off so much I'd turn the sound right down as it was doing my head in!

Thanks for the feedback, FalconDS9! I would love some elite dangerous quality sounds in this game! I basically muffled all repetitive effects like that travel drive click. It isn't a solution but more of a band-aid.

Elite is definitely the bar to match for sound quality but my skills are not there! I really like deep rumble of the engines though. I still plan on making some sounds quieter in the deep impact mod too.

But you aren't bothering at all! I appreciate all the comments. Making artifact-free sound effects is hard and I do plan on re-making this mod one day.
