HeatherGrace Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 This morning I was watching the movie 'Last Exit'. In the beginning I heard a tune that I'd recognize from anywhere, the background of Krazoa Palace soundtrack. I recorded the sound so you can see... eh, hear for yourself. It was one of those 'WTF' moments for me xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutus Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Nope, really don't hear any similarity there :hehe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Similar rhythms in the auxiliary percussion, but that's about it. It's a cliche "middle eastern" sounding rhythm to begin with, so finding similar sounding things is not hard. Also, many of the sound effects were cliche ones, too. This one is in our voice acting dump: This scream is pretty much the female version of the infamous Wilhelm Scream. Also, the sound the fire blast makes: I hear it EVERYWHERE. Yay for mass-production sound effects libraries! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherGrace Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Idd, the Fire Blast I hear almost everywhere. Last time was in Fringe in believe.. @Brutus, I'll try to create a version with higher quality, now you hear all sorts of people talking trough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drasiana Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 How suiting, that a Star Fox Adventures sound-alike be overlayed on a scene where a man is forced to drink his own piss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faisul Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Ah. Rare used a stock beat track in the soundtrack for SFA. Happens all the time, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DZComposer Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I think I know why this particular rhythm seems to pop-up a lot. Many sample libraries come with pre-made textures and effect tracks. I don't like to use them because they are dead giveaways for the library you are using. For instance, I hear SAM Brass everywhere. Why do I know it is the SAM Brass? Because they use the pre-made horn cluster chords. This is not to knock the SAM brass library. It's a damn-good library, but many times composers on a time budget will use prefabs to build something quickly. My guess is the texture was in whatever world percussion library David Wise was using. All he had to do was lay a simple melody and simple bassline over it and voila! Instant Track! This is why I have immense respect composers like Jon Williams who do everything from scratch. He doesn't even use a computer. He still does it old school with a piano and blank sheet music, and still makes his deadlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Flare Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I also remembering hearing this particular beat in Bear Grylls, I thought it was the most amazing thing ever. Then I read this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majora Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Don't mean to revive what could be an "old thread" or anything, but for the sake of clarification, whoever worked on the soundtrack for the film sampled the Krazoa Palace theme's intro. The Heart Of Africa samples used in David Wise's original are mostly one-shots as opposed to prepared loops, meaning that one would have to sequence the individual triangle rhythms, pads, and all the other sounds the piece uses manually. Since there are quite a few variations of each sound in the library, finding the precise samples used in the original is a pretty tedious chore, never mind the daunting task of sequencing and faithfully emulating the original. Can also hear some digital drag on the intro sample the film uses, meaning that it has seen some time-stretching to suit the tempo of the track into which it's being implemented. Totally understandable, really. The sampled piece's origin is pretty obscure, and sampling it is much more time and cost-effective in comparison with the alternative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
