Whats wrong with the new voices?

They all seem to have reverb artifacts, and are jarringly differently recorded to all the old voices in the game. Who ever was the recording artist, you screwed up pretty bad, buddy. Someone needs to go through the voice files and try minimize all the tails.

    Fixing this is going to be tough/impossible because a) it's hard to replicate the exact same recording technique, and b) the old voices are compressed down to a very low bitrate and sound very different as a result.

    Are you sure the reverb isn't a result of environmental audio effects being applied? If they are "baked in" to the voice samples then that is pretty silly.

    I agree, it's a rather jarring difference. I like the voice acting, but that echo/reverb is very amateur. And it's NOT the environmental effects, it's there all the time (just demo the new PC voices)

    The problem is also in volume, the new voice work is much louder than the old one.
