I was just racing the X2014J... I am not a fan of the Red Bull X series, but I ended up racing that car for over an hour! The sound was beautiful. Not perfect but still...
 
Just heard the Redbull X2014 Junior for the first time and I must say I'm amazed! Wow! This is by far the best sounding car in the game that I've yet to hear. Now if Kaz and PD can do this to the rest of the cars, this will be hands down the best car game ever!

Looks like it's possible to have great sounding cars. Now that I've heard how awesome this car sounds!
 
GT5 had the 787B and GT6 now has the red bull car everyone is getting excited about, 1198 cars to go still but we're getting there! :lol:

Of course, because GT doesn't have any other problems besides sounds, ok, it doesn't even sound that great.
 
Guys have you heard the Redbull X2011 sound? WOW :eek:
I don't know if it is a bug, but I started playing with the X2014 Jr now and they changed the sound, it was amazing and now it's a vacuum cleaner.

Edit: Ohh, it was really a bug, when I leave the race and started again the sounds back to normal.

I watched both vids in order as you put them, and when the second video started I burst out laughing. Not because you're wrong, you're very correct on them screwing up the sounds. I laughed because of how bad they (PD) screwed up such an iconic race car.

Yup. Its funny, and sad at the same time, how the best sound is in a car which does not even exist.
 
If Forza 5 cars sound like that, I'd buy the console no questions asked.
Don't think any racing game can emulate that engine sound from inside or outside anytime soon but hopefully the sooner the better, by the time it does so....race music should be erased, won't be able to hear a thing anyways lol.

Out of curiosity, been trying to find youtube vids of Forza 5 from inside cockpit, all the vids I found are from chase camera.

Oh wow, is somebody bludgeoning a rat every time the guy changes gear? :P

Nice reverb effect, though; I still wish they'd tone the distortion down to FM2 levels again.
 
Following on from what I said about the X2014J, I've put together a little demonstration. The Junior clearly has a different synthesis scheme going on, compared to the other cars in the game.

However, it still seems as though there is only the exhaust sound present. I believe that's because they're using the mixing scheme for the sampled sounds, rather than the new sounds, which could have more layers present (going by the way the sound engine can select streams at will now, little foibles in which are probably what're causing all the sound drop outs in some people's games)

I think the lack of other layers at the moment has "forced" PD to over amplify the sound to an extent, and the below video is meant to demonstrate that.



The combined sound of intake and exhaust is about what you'd expect to hear, but remove either one of them and things sound rather odd. To compensate, you have to add the character of one to the other somehow (I had a preset for the exhaust that came close, so just used that - that's labeled "Exhaust+" in the video). But it still doesn't quite sound right.

Hopefully the new sounds will have more than just an exhaust layer; the intake parts introduced in GT5 (and conspicuously absent in GT6 so far) might give promise on that front. Then we can look forward to expressive sounds like the Junior has, but more "balanced", like a real engine. :)
 
Give it the Gallardo sample with some boost and a screamer pipe and we're there.

That's just it, the Sport Quattro S1 isn't a screamer. It roars and the Jose Beres video isn't the sound of the Audi works S1 either. It's Audi and it's Quattro but it's not true S1 sound. It's too high pitched because it's massively tuned.

The S1 was 20v while the previous ur Quattro's (A2) were 10v. Both have a deep roar but the 10v is even lower. You can hear the differences of the two on the various videos.

Do you know what a screamer pipe is?
The (stock) Gallardo sample isn't all that different from an S1 Evo's exhaust sound.
It's certainly miles better than the current sample.

Yes I noticed same engine sound on car view and bumper view. So it can be done.

I honestly don't find the sounds in GT6 that bad except for that whining noise I hear on the race cars. Why do they make that noises in the higher revs?
