Okay, so I wanted to get that cool lute sound from Baldur’s Gate 3 into my own music. I’m not a programmer or anything, just a guy who likes to mess around with sounds. I heard about this “Art Cullagh BG3 Lute” thing and figured I’d give it a shot.
First, I had to find it. That was a bit of a pain, lots of forum threads and stuff. Eventually, I tracked down what I needed. No links, sorry, rules are rules, plus my memory isn’t too great.
The Hunt Begins
It’s all a bit of a blur,to be honest. I remember spending a good chunk of an afternoon just Googling different stuff, trying to figure out what the heck I was even looking for. I’m pretty sure I stumbled onto some Reddit threads, and maybe a forum or two dedicated to game modding. Let me tell you, that world is… intense. People are serious about their game sounds.
Fumbling in the Dark
Once I, finally, got my digital hands on the files, the real fun began. And by “fun,” I mean “headache-inducing confusion.” I’m not gonna lie, I had no idea what I was doing. I opened up a bunch of files, and it was all just…gibberish. I’m used to working with, like, simple audio files, you know? This was a whole different level.
I spent more hours trying a lot of things,I really wanted to make it sound like in the game.I don’t want to bore anyone with my failure stories,so I won’t.
Persistence is Key (I Guess)
But I didn’t give up! I spent a good couple of evenings just experimenting. I tried every way. I made a lot of other sounds during the time,It took my time,my energy,my everything!
Finally made it!
After all the tries,I made the sounds of Art Cullagh BG3 Lute!And I put them into my music,It’s not perfect,But I think It sounds good!
