Short: Sound of pool-balls. Top quality. Uploader: jawil aid no (Jan Roger Wilkens) Type: mus/smpl ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sound details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This sound was captured at a pool-saloon in Oslo. The sound of the pool-balls is very distinct, but when they roll - they're rather quiet! This short sequence suffers from a bit of noise. This noise was not present in the original 16 bit recording, it appeared after converting the samlple to 8 bit and is typically due to this low resolution. Architecture: generic ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Recording and processing details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This sound was captured with a Sony ECM-979 MS stereo condenser microphone and recorded directly onto a Sony TCD-D3 portable DAT recorder. It was later transferred digitally to an Akai S-1100 equipped with a digital I/O board, and finally to the Amiga via MIDI sample dump in Samplitude Professional. Since the recording was done on a DAT, the sampling rate was quiet high; 48kHz. I decided to lower this rate to half the speed before I converted the sound to 8bits. Now the sound has a frequency of 24.131 Hz. This was done in order to save space but still keep up with the high sound quality from the original 16 bit file. This also ensures that the soundfile is compatible with Amiga 8bit sound software. (Many 8bit programs have problems with *VERY* high playback rates.) Please beware that Samplitude Professional exports IFF sound with a default volume setting of 0 (zero). I haven't changed this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Credit details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Pool.svx 300340 Sample recorded May 8. 1993 by Espen Beranek Holm Copyright © 1993 Animal Voice Production A/S All rights reserved.
