Really cool project. Thanks for doing this. One thing that's instantly noticable though is how loud Sasha's theme is compared to some of the others.
DS COs seem to have louder music in general.

Edit: The cheering crowd on capture of a property is also super loud.

Thanks for the feedback here! I agree, the general balancing of the themes is way off; however, I'm currently working with some people in the community to have all the audio balanced :)

Nice. Thanks again for your hard work. It'll be amazing when it's finished.

Take care.

Hey there, I tried out this plugin during my stream today and I really enjoyed it, you can check out the stream here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-yL_VOAt_4. I absolutely adore the plugin, but I have a few suggestions that would greatly improve it.

1: Movement animation sounds are VERY low compared to the rest, and can barely be heard unless you wish to have your ears blasted every time you capture a city or destroy a unit. It would be very nice if movement sounds could be adjusted up by maybe 50%, and capture city/destroy units could be tuned down by 50%.

2: The music doesn't really loop, which is a shame. Some CO themes end and then re-start again, which disrupts the flow. If you search on YouTube, there are plenty of AW tracks that have extended renditions uploaded like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8vcSnRenX8, you could probably just upload a longer track to give the impression that it loops.

3: When Black HOle CO's pop their powers, the Black Hole power themes do not play. Would be really cool if you added this.

4: It would be amazing if you tried to replace as many of the tracks you use with their Aw2 versions, rather than their DS versions, as the DS versions just sound plain worse. To give you an example, here is Olaf's DS theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st4z_4xXLHs and here is Olaf's Aw2 theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d0QlzUd4xM, they are WORLDS apart in quality!

5: Sturm's theme is also MUCH lower than the others, probably because you used his Aw2 theme (since he doesn't have one in DS). It should be boosted by maybe 30% or 40%.

I'm hosting a tournament on the 8th of April, it would be amazing if you could fix some of these issues before then, I'll gladly shout out your plugin to my audience when the time comes.

Thanks again for making it!
