Fellow monks, share your favorite memes! (lemmy.world)
 

I've spent the last couple of months working on this Word document for the church, buncha Psalms or something, idk, but the patron is honestly kind of a jerk and I'm bored. Looking for some ideas to spice it up.

Help me acquire discontinued sound effect libraries please in c/mildlyinfuriating
[–] Revered_Beard 8 points 6 months ago

It's imperative I get it in their original unedited sound file form and in MP3 as .wav is too big and .ogg could crash certain programs like Vegas Pro.

I always hate it when somebody asks for help on a site like StackOverflow, and some smartass pipes up with "Why are you even trying that, why don't you try ___ instead?"

I don't want to be that guy. But I am very, very curious about why it is so imperative that you obtain the actual original audio files. Why would similar sounds not suffice?

For context, I am an audio editor / producer / sound designer / Foley artist, and I've run into that same problem, of old sound libraries not existing anymore, and have had to find, or create, my own alternatives. So I do know the struggle, but I don't know your particular situation.

For what it's worth: I counted about 85 or 86 "clicks" in 10 seconds. It's a loud click followed by a quieter click, like as if it's oscillating towards and away from you. The sound of the click itself is loudest at about 2.6 khz - whether that is simply the sound of friction, or some sort of electrical phenomenon, I don't know.

The fuzzy area at the bottom half of the spectrogram is the dull roar of distant wind. The clicks themselves show up as spikes, and the intense colors on the right are from where the voice starts speaking. The dark band above 10K is just the data lost from audio compression.

Around 76 locations were raided in India as part of a crackdown on phony tech support scam calls in c/technology

Law enforcement seized 32 phones, 48 laptops and hard discs, and 33 SIM cards and froze several bank accounts amid the raid of the 76 locations, according to CBI.

So... After raiding 76 locations, they only got 32 phones? Like... they only found one phone in every two places that they raided? And they only got 48 laptops? Those are the kind of numbers that I would expect for one single location.

It kind of sounds like 75 of the locations were tipped off by corrupt local officials in advance.
