---------- By DJ Nick -------------------------
Hi guys
Here comes my 1st booting sound in WAV format... Its standard 16bit STEREO wave file.
https://rapidshare.com/files/1149323039/djnick-AmigaOS-boot1.wav
This is just test phase [done in Renoise very quickly].
Please test it and let me know how it sounds and will all Amigas play it.
On my SAM it appears that it plays on small interruptions [I guess it loads sample and plays it on the same time and CPU is 200%] :)
I plan to create around 10-15 booting sounds in different styles, but I prefer AlienBreed / Aliens style ;)
Let me know what do you think.

Also, I have noted this has appeared on YT out of Amiga music videos :-)

listened to it on my PC. Sounds great.
Will try it on OS4 when I get a system ;)

djnick is the guy with a donated sam for making themes and this stuffs?

But that is off his real job, in free time.

I don't mean to be a Grammer nazi... But the subject needs an apostrophe. The word "Nicks", means to steal... X

I thought it was a cool little sound... until it said "Welcome to Amiga System", then it just became way too cheesy for me to use for real...

I have to say, I agree. The sound is fine, but the speech ruins it. There are reasons why speech isn't generally used in startup sounds. Language issues aside, it just sounds, well, cheesy.

It is fantastic, with this sound the Amiga look to one computer from SCI-FI movie.

Yeah, DJ Nick is trancy spacy guy unlike I and it will be always felt in the art.
Could everyone sample local girls and send him hq mp3 so we can make localized versions?

That is a jargon. Nick`s ... but I believe now only mods can change it.
Any DeeJay that nicks? :-) Amiga sounds? :-)

OMG a legal file on Rapidshare, you are going to ruin their reputation!
-
Enjoyed it, but too long for my boot up sound on my SAM and wasn't fond of the voice.
Was playing for a good while after my system was fully functional and booted up with SSD's.
-
There's a reason there has never been a boot voice in 36 years of computing, it can't be done right, it will annoy you and end up sounding like a '50s sci fi movie.

Hmmm ... HAL Voice for those that dislike happy females?
Localized female voice? Short edit without the voice?
Surely some job for Nick, but if you provide HQ samples
of whatever saying its AOS Booting, it could be edited.
-
Whatever you produce there should be a non-voice version available.

What .wav format is this? Strange that it won't play on windows system...

I hate burst your bubble but knoppix have (or had) a startup sound with voice

Standard 16 bit PCM 2 channel 44khz

RIFF WAV, as a container, is an abortion.

donate a x1000 to this guy, so he make more amiga sounds.

Ha! :laughing:
I think that the X1000 need more coders, more programs, more interest!

Nah he can play with his SAM 460 some more :-)

donated sam for make this stuffs... and this sounds smells to renoise.

Thanx 4 your comments.
Well meet the Amiga voice:
http://www.oddcast.com/home/demos/tts/tts_example.php
I have several good [looking & sounding] girls but they are all on vacation. In the mean time - I used this virtual girl :) he he. Seems like nobody noticed.
Well - I am planing to create ~10 different booting sounds [all played on my favorite Renoise tracker], all with and without speech.
Also if u have cool sounding [Alien-Breed or Aliens-like] female voice ["Attention... T-30 seconds and encounting..."]... then send it to me & I will include it.
My idea is to create [somebody?] a script that will boot each time different sound from set / playlist or samples from directory] so it won`t be boring.
I have to say that I was shocked to hear official Amiga booting sound is MONO!? I spent several hours triplechecking my soundcard, drivers, ahi... and then finally realized that Hyp chose mono sound... Damn.
At least I will create you stereo sounds ;)
Xpect some more soon.
Peace.

RIFF WAV, as a container, is an abortion.
Isn't RIFF WAV just a little endian IFF? Less an abortion and more of a miscarriage? ;)

No, really, it's far worse than that. Trivial examples are just that - an IFF hunk format with little endian data, but it can get a lot worse.
I once saw some example windows source for dealing with RIFF with all the really nasty hunks they'd kludged in for different things over the years and it was amongst the worst spaghetti code I have ever seen. Never in my life have I seen so many goto statements in C code, and I've seen a lot of generated C.
I still have the odd nightmare about it now.
-
Could not play the sound or load into cool edit, even when specifying pcm wav, 16 bit 44k. Strange. I don't like this format.
Someone post it in windows .wav format.
And wait, aos4 can't play stereo sounds?

The default sound.datatype can't or doesn't, it seems. Had this problem on 3.x too, which is why I always replaced it with the one from aminet. It showed you the waveform in multiview too, which was nice.

Hi djnick, can you make a boot sound that is more like the intro in Capital Punishment? I want my Amiga to sound epic when it boots up!

Sure, Cammy. Will do it 4 u :)

Nice idea, (ab)use your past Amigan works themes :-)
Capital boot
Punishment boot
Warped boot ...
