CK3 Dev Diary #76 - Royal Audio
Metal King, Audio Director
Hello!
大家吼啊!
Welcome to another Dev Diary! This time I'm back to tell and show you a little behind the scenes of what we have been doing with Audio & Music for Royal Court
欢迎来到新一期的开发日志!这周我将告诉大家一些关于我们为皇家宫廷Royal Court扩展包正在做的音频和音乐的幕后消息。
The room matters!
房间很重要!
The introduction of Court View made us really excited in the Audio Dept and also a new challenge! After working so long with games that mainly use paper maps, finally having a 3D space there was some extra room to play around with Sound Design and also getting a bit creative.
新引入的宫廷界面让音频部门的我们十分激动,这同时也是一个新的挑战!在主要使用纸质地图的游戏中工作了这么长时间之后,终于有了一个3D空间让我们做一些声音设计和创新。
Of course, we wanted to add sound effects onto certain different objects like fireplaces and chandeliers and also including room ambiences for each type. But we also thought it would be a perfect opportunity to give more "life" to the court rooms by adding something we call "walla". Or perhaps known more commonly as "crowd recording".
当然,我们想为一些不同的物体(例如壁炉和吊灯)加上不同的声音效果,并给每种房间加上特殊效果。同时,我们也认为这是个给宫廷房间加上更多“生活气息”的绝妙机会——通过加入一些被我们称作“walla”的东西,这东西也许更普遍地被称为“人群录音”。
Since restrictions did start to loosen up more in Stockholm, (and also it's a fun activity) we thought about recording some of our team members from the CK team (and a few more colleagues from other projects)
由于现在斯德哥尔摩的防疫要求也渐渐放开了(而且这项活动本身也很有趣),我们决定录下我们CK团队的某些成员的声音(以及另一些其他组的同事)。
Now you might be wondering how you even do something like this? Of course, it requires a bit of patience and having a couple of microphones!
现在你可能想知道这是如何做到的?当然,它需要一点耐心和一些麦克风!


So this is me and Tobey Evans, the Sound Designer working on Royal Court, sitting down in one of the Sound Studios and doing pre-work before the big recording session. we're testing out all the equipment, making sure all the cable works as intended and it all sounds great!
这是我和Tobey Evans,皇家宫廷Royal Court的声音设计师,坐在其中一间录音室里做一场大型录音前的准备。我们正在测试所有的设备,确保所有线路都正常工作而且都听起来很棒!
After all that we did manage to book the biggest room we have in the office, which is called "the Library". Not only was it to ensure that we would be able to have distance between all people while recording all their voices, but also it had the best acoustics to match the size of the Court Rooms.
毕竟,我们成功预约了工作室里最大的房间,它被称作“图书馆”。这不仅是为了确保在我们录下所有人的声音的时候保持人与人之间的距离,它同时也和宫廷房间的大小最相配,可以提供最好的声音效果。


The next question would be what kind of script we were using for this recording. It's rather difficult to record "walla" in all languages, so instead, we did use a script made in Latin. Not because we all are fluent in Latin (would have been cool though!) but because,from my experience, that has been some of the best languages to use when you need some "gibberish" talk in the background. Especially since we had a big mix of people with different accents.
下一个问题是我们这次使用什么样的脚本来录制。录制所有语言版本的“walla”相当困难,所以我们使用了一个拉丁语的脚本。这并不是因为我们都熟练掌握了拉丁语(如果是的话那可太酷了!),而是根据我的经验来说,当你需要一些背景中的“胡言乱语”谈话时,拉丁语是最合适的。特别是当我们有各种不同口音的人的时候。


It was a fun big session we had, and everyone was happy to be part of such a big team event again after not seeing each other for such a long time in person!
那是一场有趣的大型录音,在那么长一段时间没有见面后,大家都很开心能参加这样的大型团队活动!

So we did go a bit extra to make these new fancy rooms in CK3 sounding more alive and enhance the experience for you players.
我们做了一些额外的工作,来确保CK3中的这些华丽房间听上去更有生活气息,并提高了玩家们的游戏体验。
How will all this sound in the end? It will change depending on your Court's Grandeur level! The higher this value, the more of the crowd you will hear in the room, (and this will also work the other way around, so less Grandeur , fewer people.
最后这些听起来会是什么样的呢?它会根据你的宫廷辉煌等级而改变!辉煌等级越高,你在房间中听到的人就会越多(反过来也是一样,辉煌等级越低,人越少)。
Royal Tunes
皇家曲调
Hi everyone, it's Yannick and Robin from Audinity. After having written music for several Paradox games and expansions, we're happy to be on board again for CK3: Royal Court and share some insights into the new music for this expansion!
大家吼啊,这里是来自听觉部门的Yannick和Robin。在为好几个Paradox游戏和扩展包写过音乐之后,我们很高兴再次加入为CK3:皇家宫廷Royal Court准备音乐,并分享一些对这个扩展包的新音乐的见解!
The soundtrack for this Expansion will consist of some new ambient Mood Tracks, Cue Tracks and even a new Main Theme.
本次扩展包的原声音轨将包含一些新的环境情绪音轨、提示音轨,甚至一个新的主旋律。
The main direction for these new tracks was trying to make them sound a bit different compared to the existing music from the base game. Medieval music can have many different sounds, but since we are at the Royal Court this time, the keyword for the music for this Expansion was "Royal". So you can hear some powerful fanfares, noble strings, and a medieval guitar ensemble that make you feel like standing right in the King's hall.
这些新音轨的创作方针是让它们听起来与基础游戏中的现有音乐不同。中世纪的音乐可以有很多不同的声音,但因为我们这次在皇家宫廷,此扩展包的音乐关键词是“皇家”。因此,你可以听到一些有力的号角声、高贵的弦乐,以及中世纪吉他的合奏,让你感觉就站在国王大厅那样。
While the Mood Tracks will add some noble flavours to the general ambient music, the Cue Tracks will play when you are Holding Court in your Kingdom. And when starting the game, the new Main Theme will welcome you to this Expansion and to the Royal Court!
在情绪音轨给平常的环境音乐带来一些贵族气息的同时,提示音轨则会在您在国家中主持宫廷集会时播放。而在游戏开始时,新的主题曲会欢迎你来到这个扩展包和皇家宫廷!
We did not only record several fantastic solo musicians playing some fancy historical instruments for this soundtrack, we also wanted to go a bit extra on the orchestral side, so we actually went to Prague and recorded the music live with the FILMharmonic Orchestra at Smecky Music Studios!
我们不仅为这次的原声带录下了几位出色的独奏音乐家来演奏这些奇妙的历史乐器,还想在交响乐方面做一些额外的工作。所以我们实际上去了布拉格,并在Smecky Music Studios现场与FILMharmonic Orchestra合作录制了音乐!
This was the studio before the recording session...
这是录音前的录音室……

...and this is what it looked like during the session with over 60 great musicians at work!
这是录音过程中的样子,我们有超过60个很棒的乐手!


Two happy composers
两位开心的作曲家。
We could keep writing about the music, but we think you get the best insight into the soundtrack for CK3: Royal Court when listening to some of the music itself! So we are happy to share with you the "Holding Court" Cue Track for Western Europe as a preview!
我们可以继续大书特书音乐,但我们认为你在听过这些音乐本身之后会对CK3:皇家宫廷Royal Court的原声带有最好的见解。我们很高兴与你们分享西欧地区“主持廷会”的提示音轨作为预览!

So back to Metal King, I hope you enjoyed this week's Dev Diary, understand it might not tell you so much about the features but at least we got to show you a little behind the scenes when we do work with Sound Design & Music.
切换回Metal King,我希望你喜欢本周的开发日志。它可能并不会告诉你很多新功能,但是它至少给你展示了一些我们在做声音设计和音乐时的一些幕后内容。
