Very interesting tech.. but the title seems misleading? I saw no mention of reconstruction of sound from those ranging systems recordings, instead:
> our reconstruction uses contemporary recordings of the Howitzer, Mauser, Stokes, Vickers and Lee Enfield guns made for the purposes of sound design in film and television. These recordings were then grouped and triggered according to who was using them and in patterns that corresponded to archive newsreel footage taken at the front.
- lostlogin 6y agoThe birds singing at the end seem a smidge contrived.

- dylan604 6y agoThey may not have used the film itself to generate a waveform from the squiggly lines on the film, but they can definitely use it as a guide in the reconstruction process. Think of it more along the lines of instructions from Ikea. Useful, but only to an extent that requires a lot of understanding the context and what's not written to actually make the thing.
- hatsunearu 6y agoYeah, the individual sounds I heard were what I presume are stock sounds because I remember hearing some of it in the Starcraft intro cinematic, haha
- bonkabonka 6y agoAh, thank you for noticing that and commenting! I had a real uncanny valley moment listening to the clip because I recognized most of the explosion/gunfire samples.
- app4soft 6y agoIt may be interesting project for reconstruct sound of real battle as binaural audio[0] using Binaural Audio Editor[1] app and already exists sound samples of each gun.
