Making good computer sounds is an art. These must be very identifiable and unique, but also not intrusive and have to endure endless listenings. Yours have these qualities. Congratulations on your good work and thanks for sharing it. |

I read your overview before hearing the sounds, and by that I could only expect them to be good, not by taste, but from efficiency side. I had never thought of what could make a sound theme to be good (not on taste's side) and reading your overview I have to say that I completely agree with you. When you think of other OS's sounds, I do not think of something I like, but something that works well mostly because it doesn't even bother me. You've chosen the right direction, I must say. So I downloaded and heared them. Hummmmm. In the beggining I was not overwhelmed, mostly because I just judging them by taste only. And so I did my part of your test. I just let the sounds roll on with my girlfriend present (she's a musician), as she's the most non-geek you can imagine. After a bit I start to hear comments from her part. "What is that you're hearing?" "Oh, that sounds nice" etc. I explain what it is and she asks me to put this theme in her box. So I did. Everytime her computer does something, as it always did, and it makes a sound, I hear her saying "this sound is very nice". It never happened before. And if it wasn't for her comments, I would not think about the sounds at all. Simply brilliant. Thanks! |
