    Tiger 33 to the rescue .. this is what CoD should sound like

    Hi,
    ...... now hear what we should be hearing.
    You are about to be blown away so hang onto your seats, this is what we should have. Your life after this will be different ! You will not rest until this is on your PC.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcNfdWgzKbQ

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMdC3wNwWXs

    Tiger 33 sounds are what CoD needs, at long last I see/hear CoD far better than it is, we need this.
    Tiger 33 has done what I for one have been waiting for, sounds that have a real similarity to reality, to what I know of these,
    Sound with balls ! no more pathetic whine as a spitfire flies past, just listen to that MGFF cannon, and MG17, and 303, and DB601....oh wow !
    Years of seeing CoD spoilt by weak engine inaccurate sounds and even the .303 has now got far worse due to copyright, then along comes Tiger 33 and shows us what is possible.
    So if he can do it why cant CoD MoD ?

    Just do what Tiger 33 has done.

    Simple answer is,....Are you out there Tiger 33 where are the downloads ? How do we install them ?

    Please at least PM me, I want a set.

    Re: Tiger 33 to the rescue .. this is what CoD should sound like

    BOBC , Tiger33 was approached and asked if he would like to join TFS about 2-years-go. He declined.

    TFS are now 'legitimate' and as such, unless they own or have permission to use copyright audio (of which most of Tiger' mods are) then they cannot be included. I'm sure if someone wanted to donate/pay for copyright audio files to be used by them they would accept them, but modded audio files without any provence are just impossible to use.

    Q1. What is the copyright on recording an engine sound at an airshow ?
    If one has just that sound, with nothing else running, or people talking, no wind noise etc, i.e. a pure sound , can that sound be supplied and used by TFS if the person doing the filming gives full rights to using their recording ?

    Q2. If two people are present filming an aircraft and one puts the recording onto YouTube, whilst the other provides portions of the different RPM stages to TFS, is that admissable ? The youtuber cannot copyright their recording as surely a sound is the property and copyright of anyone who were recording at the time.

    Q3. What is the copyright on a WW2 recording of an engine sound if it is used in :-
    a: a 1960s LP
    b: a 1960s cassette

    Q4. What is the copyright on an engine recording made in WW2 if it exists on a 78rpm created at the time and the owner of that 78 record is happy for TFS to use the sound captured from it ?

    Q5. If a warbird owner gives permission for a recording to be made of their engine, is that admissable ?

    Q6. If a company that have filmed merlins and DB605's in the past give permission for sound sampling, is that admissable ?

    Q7. What funds are there if a company asks for a one off payment ?

    Q8. If an MG15 owner or .303 owner is willing to have a sound recording of their gun firing supplied to TFS is that admissable ?

    Q9. can a sound engineer supplied with a sound recording to analyze its make up and replicate its constituent parts, be used to create from scratch a sound, if such a method is feasible ?

    Q10. can a CoD user do what Tiger 33 did and create the sound files by accessing the originals and replacing them with extracts of sounds they have, for their own use only ? Tiger33 managed it so unless he has Spock like abilities it must be feasible.

    Q11. I supplied sounds for all the German engines and RAF to TheVino a few yrs ago, are they still to be used ?

    I might be able to assist in many of the above scenarios

    Cheers

    Sorry for the long answer. Copyright is a mess in the best of circumstances. You would need to hire good lawyers (i.e. very expensive) to figure some of those out. In general, for copyright attribution, you need to establish a) what is the unique item being protected, and b) who owns it. Both items are subjected to the laws of whatever country you want to sell your product in; in this case it is international, so.. good luck.

    So, let us say that you go in a deserted forest, record the calming sound of the forest and chirping of birds, and then sell the recorded track on, say, the Apple Store. You are clearly the owner of that recording and the copyright belongs to you. That is, until the birds can hire a lawyer to contest your rights, but let us not go there for now; although, if you are in a National Park, for instance, would they come after you? I bet they would, if you make enough money. Now, if I take your particular soundtrack and try to sell it on my website, I am infringing your copyright. Same thing if I include that track in my game without paying royalties to you. However, if I go to my own little forest, with my own recording equipment and make my own track, essentially the same content, but not identical, then I own that and can do whatever I want with it.

    Now, let us see another case. I own a very special bird which I spent 3 years training to make a very unique and delightful chirping sound. No other bird is known to have that ability, and only I know how I managed that training. I also charge admission to hear the bird chirp happily. Now, if you want to record that bird and sell the track, I can, probably, successfully argue that I own that copyright. That would come down to who has the best lawyers, but if I can convince a judge, it looks like I should pull it off and enforce copyright.

    If you then figure out how to train another bird yourself to make the same chirp, then it gets complicated. Do I own the special chirp because I "invented" it first? Can I prove that I invented it? Does it exist in nature somewhere else so you did not have to hear it from my bird to reproduce it? On this one, lawyers would have a field day and secure their early wealthy retirement while we both go bankrupt.

    Now, coming to engine sounds, what item is then being protected and who owns it?

    1. You can claim that a clean recording is the special item, because the sound of the engine is publicly available. In this case, whoever does the clean, good recording is the owner of that item's copyright. I do not think that owners of the engine/airplane have legal rights in this case, other than for the fact that you probably need their permission to come close enough to make a good recording under controlled conditions. They have the right to allow or refuse you from staying near their aircraft, but if you manage to do it in the open air without special conditions, while the air show goes on, than it is yours only. That is unless you signed a waiver that prohibits you from making any recording, such as when going to certain shows (pictures not allowed, etc.)

    2. The engine has such a unique sound that it is a unique item. Could Rolls-Royce argue that the Merlin sound is so unique to be copyrighted? This is lawyer territory again. In at least one famous case, Harley Davidson tried hard, and narrowly failed in 2000 to patent the sound of their engines. Would Rolls-Royce ever go after it? Who knows.. perhaps not, given that the Merlin is no longer in production; on the other hand, if somebody starts making money with that sound, it would become tempting (as a function of the amount of revenues being made).

    From TF point of view, the problem boils down to the traceability of the legality of the recording. If you buy an item it is your responsibility (the buyer's) to determine that the person claiming ownership is in fact the legal owner and no other claims can be made. Otherwise, you become exposed to litigation.

    Re: Tiger 33 to the rescue .. this is what CoD should sound like

    Very nice explanation uranor. Do you have a copyright on it, because I am tempted to use it

    But I think in our case it is still harder for TFS:
    "Would Rolls-Royce ever go after it?"
    It is not even necessary that the copyright owner (Rolls-Royce) is suing. Any lawyer could do this, without even informing them.

    "if somebody starts making money with that sound, it would become tempting (as a function of the amount of revenues being made)."
    Again it is not even necessary that you make money with it, just that someone is involved who has money. (We are publishing scientific books that you can download for free. Still a laywer could sue our university if we would print a picture without the written permission of the copyright owner, that's why I know.)
    TFS has a contract with 1c and they do have money. They also have lawyers, who might fight back. But more probably they would just pull the plug and stop CloD development, because it would cost money to go through the trouble.

    Thus, in short words:
    It's not worth it!

    Let's be patient and look what solutions TFS will find.

    I posted on a public forum, without issuing a disclaimer, so feel free to use it. Of course, if you do make money with it, I will sue you (yes, joking).

    It is true that, strictly speaking, it is not even necessary that you profit from using something to be sued. I was just implicitly assuming that even a lawyer would be somewhat rational (assumption, I know), and only sue an entity if they hope to make good cash for it. On the other hand, if they just hate you, or want to see you suffer and go bankrupt, they could still do it.

    I agree that it is not worth it. What could be done, is to publish instructions on how to change the sound of CloD engines easily in whatever new sound users like, including chirping birds, so if a user finds something they like, it can be easily changed and TF has no responsibility on the provenance of the sound files. Assuming no gross infringement of obviously copyrighted material is done by the users, then, for fair personal use, copyright infringement would be extremely unlikely to ever be an issue.

    Re: Tiger 33 to the rescue .. this is what CoD should sound like

    There is a good chance here I am offering for TFS to legally create the sounds Tiger33 did, so could someone from TFS answer the questions I put, as depending on the answers I can then supply sound files that would be ok to use !

    I might have to speak nicely to a couple of contacts

    Did the sounds I supplied get binned ? TheVino33 ?

    There is a chance I am offering to get sounds like those videos., need the questions answering please !

    Also Q10. would love to know answer...

    Nothing to stop a CoD user switching out the default files for the sounds they have,FOR THEIR OWN USE, even if they are chirping birds, might we know how its done, how Tiger33 did it, or is that knowledge Verboten ?

    If someone can PM me that method, that should avoid it falling into the hands of those who might distribute it.

    Thanks

    True I might be a rogue and go and distribute the results, however I am 100% trustworthy, but I would be willing to sign a form or whatever is put to me if need be !

    I understand all the legal ramifications, but I still find it pretty sad that 1946 has this and yet CloD and even BOX still have same old lame stock sounds. Even many of the fan made promotional videos for CloD use non-stock sounds! I personally find it hard to believe that widely known and widely recorded sounds from a long discontinued engine would be still licensed, while hundreds of YouTubers are completely ripping off licences and re-uploading movie clips and music they don't have to rights to with what hardly seems like a word from You Tube. And I guarantee you that popular movies and music have far more money and license value involved than aircraft sounds. Modding out the problems is honestly the only reason many of us still use old sims like 1946 and CloD at all. Sorry to say this but simply put, if TF won't or can't fix the sounds, someone else will might eventually make a mod; same as everyone mods right around Team Daedalus in 1946.

    If someone is offering access to better sounds, I don't see why someone can't at least look into the ramifications for including them in a future patch.

    Re: Tiger 33 to the rescue .. this is what CoD should sound like

    From what I understand..no one is stopping you from creating your own personal sound bank. You can use all day everyday in SP. ( Just don't try and use them in MP..they won't work.)For TFS to create a sound bank and distribute it in a paid for ,( 5.0)download, then the problems could start to arise. I am totally ignorant in this area.. because I have no idea how they could even tell and prove that TFS used a certain sound file..but evedently they can trace it back and prove it somehow. That's good enough for me. I love Tiger33 sounds as well..but it's just not worth the risk. I feel Slipstream has come up with some great sounds as well. So I'm happy. S Slip for all your hard work Brotha!. The flak still scares me ..Yikes!

    As far as Team Dialados... I don't think there is anything wrong with them using the sounds they do as long as they have permission from the author..and also the fact that they don't charge for any of their content??.. That's the biggest difference. Once money and companies are involved, then things have a tendency to get leagally messy in a hurry. Nobody wants/ needs that.

    Re: Tiger 33 to the rescue .. this is what CoD should sound like

    Ok, simply put (again).
    For example, Kestrel.
    A flight enthusiast records a piece of audio from a Spitfire.
    They upload it to a stock library and charge people £5 to download and listen to it for personal use only.
    You hear it, buy it and share it with TFS.
    TFS don't know it wasn't yours, thank you for letting them use it and put it into v5.0 paid for add-on.
    TFS are now selling someone else's copyright material. They are making money from material they have no rights to sell, it is someone else's copyright.
    The person who originally created it loves flight Sims, plays CloD and realises it is their audio.
    Let's say for example v5.0 sells 20,000 copies.
    The copyright holder then decides they have lost out on 20,000 sales as everyone who purchased v5.0 now has their audio for free, yet they have only made £5.00 from your original purchase.
    Who do you think they would sue? Most likely TFS and TFS most likely would lose £100,000.
    But you claimed the file was yours to share. Who do you think TFS will she to recoup that money? Yes, you.
    However they then need to take into consideration every country has their own rules on copyright, who can be sued, etc, etc.

    So now consider that was just one single aircraft. Imagine if you had supplied an audio library of 20 aircraft, each at £5.00 per download..... that's £2,000,000 they could be sued for!

    Think about it. There is no way any audio file without proven copyright belonging to the 'giver' of the file is ever going to make it into a paid for add-on. Before, Stephen they were unofficial they worked in the same realms as SAS, HSFX and others. Now they are official, legal guidelines must be followed as simply put, C or Unisoft are not going to foot the legal bill for the stupidity of including someone else's copyright material without written and signed permission......and finding that for all the modded soundfies that can be offered from the internet is not worth 1% of the risk.

    - TFS has a legal contract with 1C... which requires we have ownership of all data and files we supply to them for publication. If we provide anything for which we do not have ownership, TFS's entire licencing agreement is subject to immediate cancellation by 1C. This is entirely understandable... 1C does not want to be sued by some third party who claims ownership after a TFS product has been released by 1C... and be forced to pay out revenue share and damages.

    - TFS is not prepared to accept hazy guarantees by unknown parties on the web, we require all those contributors supplying data or files to sign a contract acknowledging their ownership and legal title of all files/data they supply and which are incorporated in TFS releases. Those contributors must sign the contract in the presence of a Notary who guarantees the contributors identity.

    I have stickied this thread because it answers definitively the ongoing issue of sounds in Cliffs of Dover. I’m admittedly a big fan of Slipstream’s continuing work on the aircraft sounds, especially in view of the constraints that have been ably described above. And I’m sure Slippy ain’t done yet!

    Thanks to BOBC for initiating this thread and everyone’s contributions thus far.
