I'm sure if any of you have read my
previous articles you've gotten the impression I was quite underwhelmed with the soundtrack in GTA IV. Rather than sit idly by I decided to start my own "radio replacement" project. The stations will include the following:
[b]-80s (Not including anything from Vice City or VCS)
-Alternative Rock (May be merged with ROQ)
-Classic Rock
-Club
-CoverXYZ (Covers of songs)
-Easy Listening
-Jazz
-Rap & Hip-Hop
-ROQ Radio (Another Rock station...think KROQ)[/b]
I've compiled a good list of songs for the radio stations but the rest is where the Dtoid community comes in. Within the community a lot of people have expressed interest in helping out with commercials, DJ spots and even song suggestions. I'd like each station to have it's own DJ and feel just like in all the GTA games. Commercials will be huge and station call-signs as well. Anyone who is really good with audio editing I definitely could use your help in overlaying the voices and clips over the song intros and outros.
So far I've only mapped out what the ROQ station will be. The DJ is going to be a "guido" from Alderney who broadcasts from his mother's basement, which is also where he lives. I'm going to take point on this one but the rest of the stations are up for volunteers. So if you'd like to help out with:
-Sound editiing
-DJ voice acting
-Commercial voice-acting
-Commercial ideas
-Suggestions for songs or any other input
leave a comment with your Gtalk or email and I'll invite you to the Google Group I'm using for this project.
I was actually thinking of putting a station together out of nothing but tettix music. I have all 500+ songs of his so it won't be hard to find a setlist to put together.
It's a great idea as I too was not too impressed with the overall soundtrack
Also, I'd love to voice/write DJ commentary.
