@@greywolf9783I’ll drink to that 🍻 the grabber’s screech is one of my phone alerts… so I guess I’m microdosing PTSD every time I get a notification. Went off during a game one day… drove me crazy for a bit 🤣🤣🤣
In the "about to grab" sound effect at the beginning, I just can't stop laughing at the fact that the real bird sounds played one after another sound like a squeaky toy. It'll forever be what my interpretation of a Stingtail is; a walking squeaky toy of a beast.
Move over, grabber, we have a new contender for the most frightening enemy. Speaking of which, would it be possible to get a breakdown of the grabber's sounds in the future?
The grabber might be a stock sound effect. I heard the same exact noise as background sound in a forest scene in the walking dead. Some episode in season 2
I first got into sound design when my dad showed me how they made the sound for giant stone doors in films by dragging a metal plate across a concrete floor in a warehouse and slowing it down. It's so incredibly cool to know that one of the core sounds to the new scariest enemy in Deep Rock is a bathroom scraper. Thank you so much for sharing this, and good luck on whatever comes next for you, Troels!
every sound effect in this game is so memorable. i’ll hear all the different growls and grunts and already know if there’s a menace, or an oppressor, or a bulk detonator. and now, with the stingtail too! you did an amazing job making all these distinct sound effects, and i wish you good luck in your future endeavors
One thing I don't see many people talking about, is how you made all these different screeches, screams, grunts, roars and wails all sound so similar to one another, yet each one is so unique you can immediately recognize it and identify the danger you're up against. It makes hearing often about as important as sight in this game, which is a very nice touch.
It is incredibly important that distinct threats are distinctly telegraphed. We can tell each species apart from eachother. Even Brundle sounds are different from normal Mactera Spawn. Fantastic work!
I love the stingtail sound effect so much. My friends and I joke that it kinda sounds like a squeaky toy, but we've all agreed that, somehow, it's more recognizable than the mactera grabber. Incredibly well done!
DRG is the only game where i have the music louder than everything else. You did such a good job capturing the atmosphere. And the way it´s implemented in the game is also fantastic. Everytime a swarm hits the music gets me so pumped. Amazing job dude! I whish you the best for the future. I´m excited four you and curious what you will upload next :)
It is utterly fascinating how people come up with these sounds, every day sounds being manipulated to make something that sounds otherworldly. Incredible work! I wish you good luck in your future!
@@p_serdiuk the damage potential is low, but I think similar to Septic Spreader it's usually weak, useless, underpowered, etc. However if there's a swarm...
It's very interesting to see and hear the thought process sound designers go trough when they are designing sound cues for games and such. I think you did a great job with this one :)
As a fellow game audio professional I really appreciate TRJ Audio and others doing behind the scenes videos on their amazing work. These videos help open up the "black box" of game audio to more people. Great work on DRG! ROCK AND STONE!
I will be completely honest, I wasn’t aware of who did the drg sound design till I heard about you leaving. We are losing a lesser known but immensely talented individual. You’ve had a huge impact on the emotions of players, and I hope you are proud of your accomplishments. You have every right to be. I’ve subscribed so I can see your future endeavors, and I hope there will be many. This is no end, just another beginning. Rock and stone you absolute legend
We were just talking about the crazy audio for the new season. You have been such a consistent piece of awesomeness for DRG, and will be extremely missed.
Just completed the 2 assignments for this event and saw this. You made a ton of good music for DRG with me still liking the other music even if I have personal favorites, as a sort of secondary favorites. Good luck in the future Troels, can’t wait what you decide to think of! Rock and stone!
Should of said these things earlier. 2 or 3 days ago I finally met the stingtail, and that definitely was an experience, and yesterday at like around 5: 00 pm I finally got the new sound track, which I took a moment of silence and talked to the other person that was on the mission with me at the time. And also another thing is, during the part 2 of the new season assignments, 1-3 with the description of the mission, for those missions I put down “FOR KARL AND TROELS!” or could of instead been “FOR BOTH KARL AND TROELS!” Damn fine work man, even more hyped up to see what you make in the future, Rock and stone!
Its always interesting to see behind the scenes of sound design, its fascinating how creative people can be with sounds we hear everyday, and how many possibilities of modification they have to sound like completely different thing :)
This is fascinating, I love seeing your thoughts and reasoning behind these sounds. Though I’ll be honest, my first impression of the stingtail’s attack sound was that it sounded like a squeaky toy, and will always hear it as such.
Many people have said that. So I probably failed to some extent on that sound. It never occurred to me that it was sounding like a squeaky toy. The joys and pitfalls of being the only sound designer on the team:)
@@trjaudio it is what it is. It’s just something that comes with being an artist, with anything for that matter, one person is bound to overlook some detail regardless how obvious. You still did an amazing job, and ended up with a good product, and that’s what matters in the end.
The sound design helped elevate this game from great to legendary. Assuming you're still allowed to make these, I'll keep watching them so long as you keep wanting to make them :) You have no shortage of material to look at, but I'll suggest another topic anyway; there are a lot of really complex gun sounds, especially for reloads, and I'd love to see your process for those.
Always fascinating seeing this behind the scenes look at my favourite game. Great work on this scary boy and all of the game as a whole. I was sad to hear you're leaving GSG but I wish you all the luck in your future projects! 🍻
I recognized that elephant roar you used immediately, since it was also used a few times in Twister for the waterspout sound effects. This was before I knew it was just a stock sound effect and not made for the movie, so when I heard it from a stingtail in game I was thinking "wait, did they really use Twister sound effects for this thing?"
I'm glad I found this. I kept commenting in game how I loved the sound it makes. Ironically I think it's rather cute instead of scary. Sometimes if I find a lone one I play with it like a doggie, except I'm a dwarf-sized ball it has to catch. They're so cute and harmless! :)
This video on the Stingtail sounds is a great send-off! I feel like the Stingtail has been a fairly transformative addition to the game. For me at least it has taken the position of absolute first priority to kill. It's one of the more quiet threats and hard-to-see threats in the game, so the riveting, completely unique calls that it does make are essential to give the players adequate warning. You truly went above and beyond though, and the sound design elevates it into something I love to be terrified of! Good luck with your next projects! Great sound is underappreciated, and whatever you're doing next will have my attention even if for no other reason than your involvement!
It's insane how you took several completely normal sounds, modified them immensely, and slapped them all together to create such horrific unrecognizable alien noises. So creative and intuitive! Awesome work! Nobody is gonna be able to replace your work, Troels 😢
You make the most BEAUTIFUL sound, it's fantastic in its scale and magnificent in its EPIC grandeur, ...every environment feels perfect and amazing, and the creature sounds blow my f*ckin mind, they are SO well crafted and modulated in post, ...I'm also a sound-designer and voice artist - so I can REALLY appreciate your work as both a gamer - to hear it around me was incredibly immersive and exciting - AND technically - I can appreciate the creativity it took to create brand new, fresh sounds that suited game-play PERFECTLY! Bloody Out-standing work!
The stingtail's unique cry is masterfully done. I tip my hat to you! Side note, it reminds me of the stock doll "mama!" sound effect, perhaps most well-known from its use in Ed Edd n Eddy.
I just updated the game and saw this video before even launching the updated game. My very first encounter with the Stingtail would now remind me of window scrapes, a bathtub, a bird, a horse and an elephant. This is gonna be interesting 😆 Thank you so much for sharing the good stuff with us!
The stress and anxiety when I hear a "HAW HEE" "HOO AAHH" "WEOOOOOOO" means you did a fantastic job with this bug! Sad to see you go! Rock and Stone and farewell miner!
Very cool to see this broken down and explained. In game its gotten the nickname "squeaky toy" due to the bird call effects mimicking pet toy. Kind of wild to hear the extra layers in there when in game it feels like they all give way to those bird calls dominating the ear.
Im in a mild mix of emotions right now, because you explained this so well, that i can actually hear each individual segment while the whole effect is together. I need to go unlearn this, because i do NOT want to ruin this sound. Bravo, my friend. Bravo~
Thank you for giving the most annoying enemy in the game a very distinctive sound. It helps me know exactly when to panic. (Also I'll never be able to hear one without thinking of a window scraper now)
Thank you for one of the greatest OSTs of all time. Your legacy will be forever signed in this, without any consideration, greatest game of all time! May your beginnings be succesful, and your earnings rich! Rock and Stone!
the first time i hear it though was weird, but somehow unic, and with the missions passing by get iconic and scary hearing it, love the sound and now knowing from what you've done it is amazing
Man, I've been interesting in music and sound design and been asking myself if I shouldn't try to look into it as a line of work. And this really gets me interested even more, damn it ! Thanks for the video Troels ! It's great stuff !
Love this. Hearing your thought process and the way you put all these random noises together to get the right sound you’re looking for. My brain could never
I might hate the stingtail, but goddamn if you didn't get the audio down right. The MOMENT we hear it, all of us focus on it because of how much chaos it can cause a haz 5 mission. You did well with that scream, its like an alarm that causes all of us to stop and say, "whose about to get fucked up." 10/10 on that sound design.
Always excited to see another drg sound breakdown! Such a fascinating combination of noises for the sting tail, I didn’t expect elephant to be in there! Best of luck in your future endeavours, and thanks for being a big part of what makes drg so awesome.
I felt sad when i killed the Stingtail for the first time. I'm glad that you did this behind the scenes video and for all the work u did on DRG thanks and ROCK AND STONE
Initially I thought it was weird sounding, but after playing, and especially after watching this video, the logic behind the sounds makes a ton of sense. It wouldn't make sense for it to have a roar or more guttural sound like the other glyphids, as it doesn't really have the mouth to do it. So having a vastly different sound makes significantly more sense. Also, having such a jarring sound is extremely valuable for gameplay reasons. It helps the player understand what they're being attacked by, and definitely conveys the idea that this is a more powerful enemy. Not to mention the theme of DRG in recent time is a plague, and mutants, so it should be jarring, to help convey the idea that this is some new mutated glyphid. Great work, love seeing this kind of stuff
I feel like someone just explained his magic trick to me.. how weird haha. The first thing that i noticed when i encountered the stinger was how good it sounds so i think you did a perfect job
For quite a while i had been wondering if you did any Foley work for DRG. Glad to hear that you did, as it just adds so much more personality to the soundscape
I think that Stingtail sound design was a big challenge on many levels. Since it is basically the first enemy with major crowd control or displacement (Yes i am aware of leeches and rollies but they are either static or minor) or a PTSD factor as i like to call it. Like the sound that basically activates your fight or flight response, in that category are Minecraft creeper, Payay Cloaker, Left 4 Dead Hunter and many other. Hence the Stingtail got big boots to fill and ho boi do we need a bigger shoe size. It perfectly encapsulates what its supposed to be/do, like a gracious warning to give you a last chance to dodge the enemy or a cocky "Am over here and you cant escape me". The first time i heard it i was curious and cautious but after getting grabbed, any other time i heard the Stingtail charging its attack my fight or flight response activates. Amazingly great job done !
Absolutely fascinating. I find sound effect composition incredibly interesting and hearing your description of what sounds you chose and why you chose them is just so cool. The squeal/screech of the stingtail adds so much to the jumpscare fright of that creature. Thank you for sharing your work!
I remember when I first came across a Stingtail I was surprised by how interesting it sounded, and different from other Glyphids. Love your use of foley!
We all are going to miss you working on this fantastic game!
Thanks :) on to new adventures.

nothing more terrifying than hearing a bulk approach behind you as you're scrambling to get out of a hole or revive a fellow dwarf
the scraper is so sick i love that
Thanks. Keep on making great videos sniss:)
Move over, grabber, we have a new contender for the most frightening enemy. Speaking of which, would it be possible to get a breakdown of the grabber's sounds in the future?

It is utterly fascinating how people come up with these sounds, every day sounds being manipulated to make something that sounds otherworldly. Incredible work! I wish you good luck in your future!
I love how the most alien sounds created are built from everyday noises we’ve learned to tune out or gotten used to
I already miss you dude, I love the robot sounds you've done for DRG even if the early ones are pretty simple
1:34 So that's why it messes with me every time, it's got that nails-on-a-chalkboard feel to it that makes me shudder. Kudos to you for that one!
Can't wait to hear this next week in-game, great work Troels :)

Reminds me of a clown honk
Fitting as it all ways gets me just when I’m reviving someone making me feel like the clown

Thank you for sharing your work!
by far the sound that traumatizes me the most, good work
Thank You!
We will miss You!
Rock and Stone
I remember when I first came across a Stingtail I was surprised by how interesting it sounded, and different from other Glyphids. Love your use of foley!
My pc ate shit and can no longer do audio, and I’m so so sad to say that i can’t enjoy your fantastic work anymore. We’ll miss you, rock and stone.
The 4 most terrifying animals, horse elephant, bird, and bathroom scraper.
I love the sounds they really stand out in the game and pavlovs me into panicking when i hear it or something similair to the sound 😂
Thank you for all you’re hard work on my favorite game!
Oohoho!!! Love sound design stuff!! Fantastic work on this, man!
The creature sound design is awesome. I'd love more videos covering them. Also, goodluck with all your upcoming projects.
This is probably my favorite sound of any enemy in this game
I'm never going to be able to unhear those glass squeegee sounds
