    @pixelate @xogium Oh wow. That was your first exposure to Doctor Who was it? Did you go back and do any classic stuff?

      @xogium I'm not a fan of the new series. I'm classic all the way myself, but I'm glad that the show is endearing itself to a new generation. The TARDIS sound was made, primarily, by someone scraping a door key along piano strings.

      @JustinMac84 Hmmm. Now that you mention it, it does make sense. There's a little something left over from the original sound in there.

      And yeah I hear you about the reboot vs classic. I just hava a huge problem with classic, the sound quality puts me off every single time.

        @JustinMac84 @xogium My first exposure was, I think, The Impossible Plannet. Then I got all into the Cybermen. So, Cybermen 1 and 2 from Big Finish. Now I'm going back through the Classic and Revival series, and I've spent money mon Big finish. I respect that they don't DRM their MP3's.

            @pixelate @xogium Big Finish do a lot of good titles. Quite a bit of crap as well, but that's to be expected. Dalek Empire is my favourite of dalek stuff that they do. Cybermen are great. It's weird, if you look at cybermen objectively, I thinkk they're cooler and more sinister than daleks, but there's just something about daleks, something about their presentation that makes them awesome.

              @pixelate @xogium The sound design for the 60s cyber voices is the best robot vocal design I've ever heard.

                @JustinMac84 @pixelate More cool indeed. They make a ton of noise when walking, but at least you can hear them coming. Daleks are furtive type. And they can't even go up a flight of stairs because they use wheels ha ha ha.

                  @xogium @pixelate That's just the new cybermen that make noise. I prefer the ones that don't. Yeah how the daleks got away without even being able to go upstairs for so long is a testament to their overwhelming cool, but also kind of ridiculous. Was fixed in 1988 though.

                    @JustinMac84 @pixelate Hah that is fair!
                    Speaking of new cybermen vs daleks... I absolutely like this scene from the new show. It's ridiculous in a good way because it's literally two different systems trying to agree on a protocol and just failing.

                      @xogium @pixelate In universe, daleks are way better than cybermen. Their technology and means of reproduction are far more advanced.

                        @JustinMac84 @xogium @pixelate I don't know if I'm alone in this but the "Tenth Planet" Cybermen are my favorites. Their voices had that combination of somewhat human-sounding with that odd, old time computer voice inflection that, to me, made them sound so frightening. The 1980s Cybermen did not sound emotionless to me. They sounded either angry, disgusted or like they were enjoying themselves. The new Cybermen sound like they're talking through a roll of toilet paper. The Nicholas Briggs Dalek voices, to me, are the best. They are menacing and absolutely frightening. Briggs has Dalek psychology down to a science.

                          @Black_Flag I think one of the reasons I'm a sound designer is because I like Doctor Who. The classic era sound effects were brilliant! When you consider the humble origins of that sound and the tardis sound, you can't deny the genious behind them! 🤩

                                        @pixelate Right now, I'm replaying the 8th Doctor Time War series. I want to get the newer ones but before I do I want to replay what's happened. I forgot how good they were.
