Description Kevin Pearsall 2005-05-18 13:25:35 UTC
seems like almost every alarm sound repeats the same sample over and over, but
in almost every one i've checked there's a very brief dropout when the repeat occurs
Comment 1 Kevin Pearsall 2005-05-18 13:33:51 UTC
this can actually also make the sounds sound a little bizarre...  like the Sub
Alert sound in Alarm sound -> Misc, seems like something that should be at a
very regular interval but every 2-3 times it makes noise it skips about 1/4
second and sounds very very weird
Comment 2 Vidur Apparao 2005-05-18 13:35:00 UTC
From what i can tell (looking at a couple), the sounds aren't set up to
perfectly loop. We might have to do some editing to get this right.

Dean is going to look at this. His speculation is that there was padding added
during the MP3 encoding process. My guess is that the original audio will need
editing to be a reasonable looping sound.
Comment 4 Blackketter Dean 2005-06-07 20:49:11 UTC
I reduced the gap considerably, but it's still audible.  Kevin:  do you think we can release like this?
Comment 5 Kevin Pearsall 2005-06-14 10:49:02 UTC
can't get to them to try it now... whenever i go to the sounds i get disconnected.
Comment 6 Vidur Apparao 2005-06-30 13:21:02 UTC
Kevin, can you test? Dean's improvement makes it significantly better.
Comment 7 Kevin Pearsall 2005-07-05 16:18:25 UTC
well, er, the alarm sounds seem to be absent.  and i still am unable to get in
to natural sounds...
