[ubuntu-art] [REQUEST] Sound designers?
Dear Sir/Madam, I am Prince Mathews a Sound Engineer from New Delhi, India with more than 7 years of experience in Sound Engineering and Music Composing. I did my Diploma in Audio Engineering from the School of Audio Engineering (SAE), the world's first Audio Engineering Technology College, Australia with an average of 81% in the final exams securing 91% in the final theory exam to placemyself in the 3rd position internationally. I started my professional career with CNBC INDIA Television when they recruited me directly from the campus. I worked there for almost 2 years and left the position of Chief Sound Engineer and joined Octavian International India Gaming Divisionwhere I work at present as the Head Sound Designer exploring my capabilities as a Sound Engineer and Music Composer.

Re: [ubuntu-art] [REQUEST] Sound designers?
I like to tip. =)Well, since I'm not around my studio at the moment I don't have any hands-down examples. But I was thinking about a sort of soft choir with some rhythmic percussion pad. That would give it an organic sound, while a good use of the stereofield and clever reverbing could make it quite vivid. But I think it would be quite nice to get away from the sampled synthesizer sound that every OS has had since the days when the dinosaurs walked the earth. :) /weidel2006/8/1, Peter Savage [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On 01/08/06, Niklas Weidel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Somehow I get a sort of dated feeling from most of those.

My 5 cents. 5 cents I normally only accept 2 :p I'm all up for vivid and organic, give me some examples of what you mean and I'll try for it. Vivid and organic can mean totally different things to different people. Dictionary definitions do not apply in peoples perceptions. If you can find some examples, that'd be great!

Pretty charming, actually. :) What equipment are you using? It still sounds a bit synthetic. :)2006/8/2, Peter Savage [EMAIL PROTECTED] :Updated theme http://progbox.co.uk/ubuntu7-1.mp3rhythmic and vocal :p-- Pete Savage - cbx33::silentk wiki.ubuntu.com/PeteSavage --ubuntu-art mailing listubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Listen to it before continuing to read else it'll spoil it :p http://progbox.co.uk/ubuntu7-X-fade.mp3 I've cross faded a Lo-Fi version into a Hi-Fi version. It's just a test but it works really well in my mind, and my thinking behind it would be that as users are loading ubuntu, they are moving into an environment that heightens their senses :p Transitioning into a better environment. Opening their eyes :p It kind of works, but wouldn't it be easier to use a bandpass filter instead of cross-fading different resolutions? This technique kind of reminds me of a lot of techno / trance tracks - they're all the same :-) - where a bandpass / highpass filter is used on the percussion to achieve a gradually intensifying sound. Could you try using a band- or highpass filter? I'd also suggest maybe adding a bit of reverb or delay to the breathy choir to make the transitions between intervals a bit less noticeable, another way to solve it might be to have the notes overlap. Thanks for taking the time to create sounds for Ubuntu, it's great to have you onboard.

If so, I need to start finalising the login sound so I can started creating logout, and all the other little soundsGot mail etc, of course that all hinges on if you guys think the sounds are good enough to be used in ubuntu ! While the creative development cycle is well suited for sound design, it assumes that the Ponder has been completed. Ponder is a very important step to develop design direction. While it would be nice to get a fresh logon and logout in for Edgy, it would seem more productive to establish a sound design guideline before proceeding well into any form of production. The scheduling breakdown on the wiki assumed development from the start of edgy. It would need to be adjusted accordingly, considering the immaturity of the sound design. Let's get a good selection of colours on the palette before we start painting. Try to focus on different textures and feels before worrying about any sort of refinement. Perhaps even offer samplings of existing media to build upon. It is _far_ too early to be worrying about subtle changes and effects. Get several different sets of broad strokes down, and we can adjust from there. In short -- keep it very loose and quick to get as much variety on the table.

Okay, my only tools may be my Psycle Modular Music Creation Studio (it's cool, it uses a Tracker interface, and it's open source!) and Audacity, but I'm going to try and make some system sounds too!

Re: [ubuntu-art] [REQUEST] Sound designers?
I would like to echo that sentiment. My favorite part of the Dapper sounds are the low base notes. So keep up the great work Pete, you have something interesting happening.

Are there any sound designers out there? I would suspect the number is critically low at the moment. That said, I believe that the opening sounds and such are very critical to Ubuntu's development.
