I'm sure everyone has wondered about the group that produces all the wonderful sounds in EVE Online that everyone loves so much. Well now you'll know about just how they rock your auditory senses, thanks to this wonderful new Dev Blog from CCP TorfiFrans.

Please use this thread for all your feedback!

One of the things that came out of the roundtable sound had at the last EVE Fanfest in Reykjavik, was that stargate sounds become quite monotonous when you do a lot of travel.

The best part about it is the procedural generated sfx.

Guys, this has the potential to indeed be awesome !


Nobody remembers syndicate (bullfrog, '93) anymore ?
Fluid changes in music, dependent on situation !

It was perfect !

Um, with all due respect...

Please give us the option of turning the B/G music off?

Sorry guys, but it is --IE, the last Duality build I played-- sometimes just jarring, and that's annoying as Hell. Options, please, options!

That, and please don't change the sound of Dual 180mm Autocannon IIs. Best-sounding guns in the game!

I have some comments but please note that these are strictly from me as a player!

I am really excited about these changes - For one thing, ship environment sounds make a ton of sense and it's something I've wanted to have for a while. Just add actual crews that modify the ships stats and we're gold :P

I understand the soundcloud initiative; but does it have any impact on people with a limited data plan ?

In the same feeling; can this impact on players with limited bandwidth who perhaps play eve and listen to other online streaming services like EVE-Radio ?

The jukebox vs media player comment is relevant - but don't forget that adding a jukebox and having the ability to play your own MP3s in the thing are not date related at all. If this is not going to be an option moving forwards, will we be able to export our current playlists ?

Sound made when finishing a mission - I hope it's a Ding! :+P

Otherwise, I really can't wait to hear (pun lol) from you guys

I'm using the jukebox occasionally. And this is coming a bit early, since I'm still waiting for that 50 MBit connection I ordered and that I'll probably get in q1 2013.

Currently I'm still running on 384 KBit/s , so streaming whatever ist not an option.

How could anyone forget Syndicate!?

LucasArts X-Wing, and the iMuse system, combined slices of predefined MIDI segments on the fly, to ramp the intensity up and down, depending on the situation. Beautifully smooth transitions and variety. I wish the games / sound card industry had continued on this path. Unfortunately the quality of what you heard depended on the quality of your sound card's synth. Going all digital gives everyone the same audio experience; good and bad: sigh.

My music is off as o play with 2 -3 chrs and have 3 music tracks runing at the same time is a plane and use TS3 as well macks that no fun



and most of the 0.0 corp say you MOST be on TS3 to get help and info

so what is the pint?????

no, no , NO, NOOOO

I spend ages finding decent EVE-esk music for that absolutely brilliant Jukebox. Now that I finally spread that music (1.4 GIGs) to my fellow clan m8's that really enjoy it, you guys remove it???? No other game came even close with this functionality. I don't want to fire up winamp everytime I play EVE. Please please please...don't do this us.

The jukebox worked like a dream for me, a great shuffle and all custom music felt like it belong in the game. As much as I like the music in the game, it's not enough when you play the game for long periods of time.

For me this is truely a dark day in my personal EVE history, because I really loved its Jukebox...allot.

The dev blog sounds really promising and I completely agree with the approach

However, I will probably not benefit from any changes unless some other improvements are made because frankly, I have turned music off. The reasons:

1) music interferes with voice comms during pvp
2) when running two clients, as I usually do, each client plays its own music which results in an intolerable sound mash

This would be easy to fix:

1) Make a hotkey to mute and unmute music. I don't want to go to the ESC menu every time I need to turn music on or off, but if I could mute/unmute it with a simple keystroke, I would enable music during quiet periods like pve and mute it when there is need to talk on TS

2) Make sure that only one instance of the client (the one started first) plays music. Shouldn't be too hard. (I guess I could install a separate client and disable music there, but I'm not willing to maintain two clients just for this. I don't even have enough disk space left on my SSD.)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE scrap and replace the login noise, it is a bitter and harsh high-pitched screech that I'm sure nobody enjoys.

What I'd love to have access to are the more exciting bits of music that play when you enter a mission. For ages I've been wondering how I could get my hands on those. By far some of my favorite music selections in the game with the driving industrial sound.


Anyways. Cheers!

So, if you open up your EVE folder, and go res > audio > jukebox you'll find all the mp3s used in the game. Just copy them out and put them into your favorite media player.

I often use the Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F12 shortcut to disable sounds; but it would be nice if there was a modifier that could toggle the music but leave game sounds.

Just out of interest, are there any clips on YouTube demonstrating the new turret sounds ?

You can set it off simply by putting the music volume to 0. The setting gets persisted to your next sessions, so in essence that's how you turn it off...

Sound when you finish a skill or a mission
