Turian Sounding Voice Pack

Description
I created this mod for my own game and figured some other people might get a kick out of this.

Basically, it is two of the XCOM EU/EW voicebanks with an effect applied to make them sound more like a turian from the Mass Effect games. Since I have no prior experience with audio editing and was heavily following a tutorial, it is not going to sound as good as the turian lines ripped straight from the games, but it should sound somewhat similar.

==Features==
900 voice lines per voicebank
--1 male voice (English Male 6)
--1 female voice (English Female 1)
Radio effect applied

==Other Mods I Made==

==Future Plans==
Add a female voicebank to the salarian sounding mod (no ETA, but I am working on it)
A turian sounding voice pack with less synth (no ETA, but I am working on it)

==Q and A==
Q: Why not use the XCOM2 voicebanks?
A: Oddly, the XCOM EU/EW voicebanks were easier to find in the SDK.

Q: Will you do voicepack mods for the other Mass Effect species?
A: I have no current plans to do the other species.

Q: Will you do the other XCOM voicebanks for the turians?
A: No current plans to, but if I have a lot of free time in the future, I might do two more. I don't want to do more than four voices because this mod is already kind of beefy for a voicepack mod and I don't want to make it too large.

==Audio Errors==
Please let me know if there is an issue with the volume level or any other audio errors. Like I said before, I am still new to audio editing, so there is no guarantee that I can fix the problem, but I will see what I can do.

==Tutorials Used==

Male Turian version
Female Turian version

Can you please make a voice pack for Nihlus Kryik?

Really clever idea for a voice mod. Good work! It should pair well with the Palaven (create-a-Turian) mod.

@Drako: btw, the effect you want for Turians? i did some research, that natural "hum" to their voices is called a "Flange" or "Flanging". might help if there's an option to do so in whatever sound-modding program you use.

@Drako, well anyway thanks for your work :)
Arkhangel 9 Mar, 2017 @ 11:11pm 
@Drako: ah.

@Shaggoth hey change of plans. The second voicebank I had lined up isn't working out too well (It will take longer than a week to get it ready). So, I'll just release the voicebank that is already done either tomorrow or over the weekend and then just update in the second voicebank when it is ready

@Arkhangel I'm sorry, I think I'm being unclear or I'm confusing what you're saying, let me clarify. If I apply the Salarian audio effect to a female voice line, it either sounds no different than the original or it sounds chipmunky. As an example, the Rikku lines would sound chipmunky if I ran it through the Salarian audio effect. However, I do agree with you that higher sounding voicepacks, like the Rikku one, do make for a good alternative for female Salarian voices in-game.
Arkhangel 9 Mar, 2017 @ 6:52pm 
eh.... well, as i said, you can always just use some of the higher-voiced voicepacks. Rikku's voicepack works well, even an immersion version in it that removes any use of her name.

@Arkhangel yeah the problem I'm having with Salarian females is that either they don't sound different from the original voice line (so why even bother) or they sound too chipmunky (which is annoying to listen to in-game and while putting the pack together). Personally, I just headcannon it that the Elders stole all the Salarian females and that's why the Salarian males are fighting so hard =D.

@Drako: Rikku from FF7 actually works pretty well as a younger Salarian gal. prob is we never really got to meet any who weren't Dalatrasses, which essentially were all really old salarian women.

@Shaggoth I think I found another voicebank that would go good with the salarian effect so just wait a little while longer (a week tops) and I should have a salarian sounding voicepack to release. Just FYI, it will be two male voices though.
