How to start ... a long time dream project of mine is a spaceship battle simulator. One on one, two ships ... may the better built one win!
But the reason why I post this is ... I want, need to learn how to make spaceship sounds. The sounds of power supplies, converter banks, power guides, shields. Sounding nicely powerful in normal conditions, getting louder, more frantic in battle and a screaming crescendo if the ship is pushed to its limits.
But how to start? How to do that? Rhythm, frequencies, sounds? Any sound experts here to share their ideas?
