Masquerade Ball

How about something akin to a masquerade ball. On my way home from visiting my girlfriend in the hospital, I was listening to classical music on one of the stations and was thinking that a masquerade ball sound could be pretty cool. One shots could be people laughing and clinking glasses or some such. Perfect place if someone is going to get killed and the pc’s have to solve who is the killer.

It doesn’t have to be a Masquerade ball per se, because if there is one thing about a masquerade ball you can’t do on Syrinscape it’s the masks :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I think this is a great idea. My wife was very receptive to the notion of a “social combat dungeon”, where a session would play out during a ball or gala, with the “combat” being social dialog. This would provide a great background, with different rooms having different sounds, levels of echo, and background conversations (think Dragon Age: Inquisition’s ball event).

Some ideas for sounds:

  • Background talking (normal, echoed, and muffled), both cheery and serious
  • Common indoor sounds like what GM_Cody_D stated with music and ambiance, plus fireplaces, servants doors softly opening and closing, etc…
  • Outdoor sounds like crickets, lit sconces, horses and carriages in the distance
  • Servant’s area sounds like muffled talking, food preparation, orders being given

Good idea GM_Cody_D.

ps. Is it planned to implement a feature that adds an echo or muffle filter to the sound (or underwater, distant, etc…)? If so, this would make it even easier to distinguish main-room sounds from those heard within a small bedroom for example. I know I could do this from my sound driver program, but it would awesome to have it implemented in Syrinscape so it could be available on iOS and Android devices as well.

True @TheMOELANDER! But Ben does need to record some of his classical musical skill for us! :grinning:

@Jared_Clark8589 A lot of those are great ideas. Similar to the Alien Cantina sound set on the Sci-Fi player.

Man I loving these suggestion threads!!! :smile:

Eventually, one or the other of us will be able to claim a SoundSet and say, “I building this”.

We can all work together and make awesome stuff for everybody!!!

Just gotta get the next version of the creator out!!!

In the interim, until one of the kind Syrinscape peeps can bless us with their classical music skills, I think a selection from the Friendly Tavern soundset (glasses, conversation, chairs) could cover some of what you want, with something like ancientfm (free site, plays medieval music constantly) providing you with appropriate music for a fancy shindig.

Yep, I reckon so. I just can’t wait till we can unleash everyone on some of this content and get lots and lots of nice stuff built that everyone can use!!! It’s gonna make us mighty busy here, I suspect (checking and vetting etc)!
