New sound pack in works - ideas welcomed

Hey all.

I am playing around with the sound files from many of the great ones available - incognito, SailorSteve, and the DB mod for SH2 as well as stock SH2 ones. FYI I am only working in German.

I like the Das Boot sound packs, but I hate the files that have music in the background, or the fact that some speeds are spoken and others are whispered. I am trying to make "reactive sounds" so that the DB crew reacts to your orders rather than redoing the given orders. So here is what I have so far:

I have added a bunch of Das Boot sounds to the stock files. What this means is that, for example, when you order Auftauchen, you will hear this:

"Jawohl Herr Kaleun.....Auftauchen"....and then the sequence from Das Boot beggining with the repetition of the order. The transition is really smooth IMO. This gives a really cool surface sequence. I also mixed in the Incognito file so you hear the valves turning and the water being pushed out by air. I did a diving sequence as well in the same manner. You also hear the LI in the background adjusting the attitiude of the boat and trimming it.

Redid the ambient loop from the SH2 DB pack. Added a couple of doors closing, whispered German, and the LI adjusting boats attitiude.

Working on a good ship sinking sound mixed from different ones as well. Also trying to clean up sound files from the movie to add more reactions to more orders. I have a pretty cool sound editing program so I will see what I can come up with.

Sorry it is so long. If anyone wants to hear some examples I can provide vie email, and any and all ideas welcomes. I know sound is a sticky issue, especially the goofy ship speeds.
