Go for it. I can recreate it at a different size or whatever, otherwise I'll just move the image file into your subdomain somewhere.

Done :-D Thanks mate :-)


Edit...BTW, did you get my email???

[Karlos]

I can try and tidy it up a bit if you like - the spectrogram layer was quite noisy making the blue colour look flecked with jpeg artifacts by the time it was all put together. A quick guassian blur of that region of the layer would fix that...

@Karlos

Looks fine to me dude.

@Adz

As the original version was a preview and a bit brutally compressed as jpeg, here's a slightly tweaked version. It's a 24-bit png so you can resize or whatever before converting to jpeg for use, unless you don't mind 140KB banners ;-)
Clicky

-edit-

It's also a bit less tall so it doesn't use as much real estate when the page starts to fill with more content.

Which it will, right everybody?

Saved the png as a JPG, ended up being 5K bigger than the old version, but the artifacts you were referring to seem to have disapeared.

I can't pick up your accent on that sample, maybe a longer one would show it. When you said Brooklyn I was expecting Judge Judy  :-P

well, there ARE certain words which would give it away - none of which were included in my sound clip.

I may make and send a new one just to show you.  :-D

@ Cece

Just say the following sentence, and I'll know:

"I'm going to get a coffee from Starbucks"

 :-P

more about brooklyn accents

[cecilia]

Actually, I was planning on saying,

"In Brooklyn we open Windows, drink Coffee, eat chocolate and keep our Underwear out of sight."

Trust me, THAT should completely showcase the accent!

[X-ray]

I dig that accent.

[Speelgoedmannetje]

Poor Cecilia.


;-)

[cecilia]

adz, I just sent you a new sound file - mp3. And as I used a PDA phone (windows OS) it was naturally a complicated affair.  :roll:

this phone (cingular 8525) has some really nice features but sending an email is strangly confusing.

it could be me.  :lotsacoffee:

anyway, let me know if it actually arrived or was lost in the ether......

[X-ray]

I found a nice site with some examples of accents. It has the New York Brooklyn accent and also a South African dude explaining how to hunt a crocodile  :-)

Edit: one of those English accents is definitely Karlos, explaining his trainspotting hobby  :-P

@cecilia

I got the file and it works fine.
