| Quote (SpaceEngineer) context switching between them
There is a sort of fade or the switch is sudden? 
The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.

| Quote (SpaceEngineer) You will listen SpaceEngine soundtracks with a context switching between them (menu, flying between stars, entering atmosphere, etc).
That should be good to have a config file where we can choose what sounds to put around what object. I have a collection of sounds from the space (like voyager sounds for planets), and it should be cool to have them in context.

| Yes, I just made a smooth mix of two soundtracks, like in players. And yes, for context switching there will be a config. I'm not sure about voyager sounds, but nature sounds like wind, surf, rain etc will be a different part, a planetary environment sound. However gas giant's magnetosphere "sound" may be useful to increase immersion.
PS: Imagine you are on a Earth-like satellite of a gas giant. You will hear wind, surf, rain, and... magnetosphere sound!

| I think in this case, in the config, there should be something like this :
Code SoundGasGiant {"music/file.ogg}"
SoundTerra {"music/terra1.ogg" "music/terra2.ogg"]
For specific sounds of catalog objects (for exeample, a sound for Jupiter), it could be good to have a parameter for it on the correspounding parameter.
About magnetosphere sound, I think it could be good to hear it when you are near to a planet, but I think I should dwindle when you approach the surface (or atmosphere), because it could mask and interfere with the wind/seashore sounds. But when you left the planet, the space sounds can restart : magnetosphere, satr seismology sounds...
I'm starting to collect and to convert in OGG all the space sounds I can found on my computer, I have stars, planets, pulsars, even planets rings.

I also started making such a collection a while ago for this same purpose.

| I am now using phase inversion to purify the sounds, and a stereo enhancer for more immersion.
Edit : I find an entire hour of sounds only for Saturn, and 5 differents pulsar sounds.

You may not believe me, but a hour ago I worked on player config reader and ended up with this form:

| Why use that rocking tune just for Betelgeuse, and not for all giant branch stars?
Careful. The PLATT Collective has spurs.

This is "work in progress". I even didn't implement script parser yet.

| I like how you'll be able to select music for certain individual objects, even if you made them! This may be the feature i'm looking forward to most in 0.97.1... also, you should put music for Black Holes and Asteroids too! I really like Lokijar's music and you should use more of it!
I will be inactive on this forum for the time being. Might come back eventually

| Quote (SpaceEngineer) Telepathy?
I think there's only a few simple solutions for a problem, that's why we had the same idea.
By the way, will there be sounds depending on the distance from an object, on depending on the proximity from its rings ?

I seriously doubt that things are coded to that level of complexity in this version, and SE really doesn't need those features right now. Things like ring distance detection, astrosphere and magnetosphere boundaries and bow shocks, radiation belts, lightning, etc., are all not necessary right now and should be focused on later.
For now, as far as sound effects are concerned, we should assemble a library of authentic space sounds for use in SE and start a project to turn them into useful ambient sound effects (edit them so they loop smoothly and sound good). This can be a good community project.

| I made switching based on distance to object - a bit greater then autopilot final distance. There two types of "music selectors" - by object name (Earth, Saturn, Sun etc), and (if name not found) - object type (red dwarf, red giant, gas giant, desert etc.). There probably must be amne additional parameters for object type selector, or more selectors (desert -> hot desert, warm desert, cool desert, cold desert etc).

Wow, that's perfect.
The last thing that is missing is a switching depending on the latitude, for if you are above the equator of a ring planet, you hear a sound related to it's rings.

| SpaceEngineer, there must be some kind of "inertia" between switchin from place to place, either proportional one or linear. For example, if you quick switch from star to planet, the music simply going to switch from "star music" to "planet music" AND back. That might be not very comfortable, probably.
As well, I think, there might be useful one "basic" layer of sounds, based on immediate proximity to objects, like in NASA Voyager Space Sounds, without inertia, just to add some atmosphere in-game. Probably I should do some work to illustrate it, make a video or something.
