Thumbs up [SOUND EFFECT]Naga Siren, Song of The Siren


Quote:
The Sirens in General was known By their Charming Sounds that in a magical way makes whoever listen to the song sleeps. Unfortunatly our Siren in Dota
her voice has vanished with the decades of being silent when trying to sing her song.
So what im Proposing is to Add a Siren Song to be Played when Casting the Song of Siren untill The enemies Wake up.. or Just to be Played when casting the skill.

Download the Attached Sound File & Listen

Song of The Siren - Modified Version 13.3KB

Pros:
- Giving the Skill new taste.
- Making the Skill Name Fits the Real theme of Sirens & their Charming Sound.
- the Skill Needs it Deseprately
- Current Sound is Not Fitting At all.

Cons:
- MSI
- Anything Else ?

Test Map Available - Special Thanks to "The D3ath

Special Thanks to:
TraveIIer
Wyvenroid

I don't like implementing a sound for that. Can you find some ingame music/effect? I think there are a lots of engine things to be digged up.

Even if its 157Kb its too much. Do you know that 15 new icons take about 157Kb. Still, I'd rather find some ingame sound. I don't feel like wasting 157Kb on one hero which only casts pretty lame/weak ulti.

Can't you just search for ingame/engine sound?

Default Re: [SOUND EFFECT]Naga Siren, Song of The Siren

hm i think the first half of this would totally suffice to be played upon the cast
also can this be compressed in any way? 158kb is not exactly small... only for one ability - consider we get about 8 active icons for that

I've compressed it to 64K which is the border line. You can try to hear it if you want:

FileFlyer - Upload and send files, fast!

Now it takes 83Kb.

Default Re: [SOUND EFFECT]Naga Siren, Song of The Siren

I agree with exactly what TraveIIer said - the first half would suffice already. Here's my version of it kind of cropped and faded out at the end, IMO it sounds great.

SotS1.mp3 (46.9KB) is the one without further compression from your original audio file, while SotS2.mp3 (13.3KB) is the one with maximum compression. SotS1.mp3 definitely sounds better, but SotS2.mp3 has the size approaching an icon and is still acceptable.

EDIT: Oops forgot the link. Here it is - http://www.fileflyer.com/view/lJse8AJ

Default Re: [SOUND EFFECT]Naga Siren, Song of The Siren

yep for the size of about one icon it's worth the import now

good job @Wyvernoid as well for cropping and compressing, i think the quality is still very acceptable with the 13kb file

Default Re: [SOUND EFFECT]Naga Siren, Song of The Siren

It is defect, I did not fall asleep.

Well, size is nice for sure, I'd find it acceptable.

About internal sounds that would be usable, I found nothing really good.
Only ones I could think of were:
Sound/Ambient/FreakyForest4.wav (sounds more like wind)
Abilities/Spells/ANsa/SacrificeUnit.wav (hardly a "song")

This is better for the file size. Well I'm not really particular about the sound itself... the cosmetic effect and icon of the skill could really use some changes.

Hmmm... unnecessary IMO.

Null. 46/157 kb for a weird sound.

Id like the sound more if it was only the first three notes. Would make MSI smaller as well
