An amusing hour or so on Youtube yesterday, and a bit of time transferring the results to a CD, and I now have a musical disc to accompany SYW battles. There're a lot of French marches (Charpentier and Lully in particular), the Hohenfriedberger march, the British Grenadiers, and of course The Bear went over the Mountain, which was still a smash hit at the time.
I wonder if I can get a sound effects boffin to superimpose some thundering hooves, crackling muskets, and ground-shaking artillery?
Grab a (free) DJ program (something like VirtualDJ), FK: you can then drop in both your music track & another track containing all your sound effects: then you can mix them as you go (or create a mix)...
Simples :)
There's a Kickstarter for some RPG sound effects tracks - they've done them on a modular basis (for Pathfinder IIRC)
You're a useful man to know. Thanks.

You're most welcome.
And thank you for the addition to the epitaph picklist ;)
Ummm...what?

My epitaph is currently being constructed from a variety of comments, mostly from here... ;)

Grazie beaucoup!
Get hold of the Waterloo/Quatre bras computer game the sound effects were useable for others things. Lots of cannons, muskets cavalry the works ;)
The game was the one where the units were depicted en masse by little figures. B*ggered if I can remember who it was by, but you did get little animations of reenactors firing etc
Here's the one I was thinking of - more RPG stylee...but very atmospheric :)

This search will help too...so if you download one of these (youtube downloader), convert it to MP3, bang it into Virtual DJ alongside your music tracks, you're laughing 8)

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, of course, but anyone playing repeated sound effects within the hearing of other wargamers risks being cornered by a wild-eyed maniac gripping him by the throat and yelling "SHADDUP, SHADDUP, SHADDUP, SHADDUP, for f**k sake!". I've seen it done....
I have had a similar experience - mind you, it was bagpipe music in a Scottish game.

just stick me with cavalry in an ACW game and then you will get annoying..... :d :d :d I especially like John Wayne in the Horse soldiers :)
No - best is a modern game with lots of helis - Ride of the Vlakires obviously. The 90 min tape we played at the Triples lasted 5mins.
IanS :D
I wonder what Vlakires are.
Vlak the Impala's friends ?
Cheers - Phil

Now, that's what I call a compressed tape...
