System 7 Sounds
In the Sounds folder at the main level of the Music Madness II CD-ROM you will find a 22K and 11K folde in stereo format and a 11k mono folder intended for use when you need smaller files. These folders contain 158 System 7 files in each format. Sounds in this format may be used for startup sounds or other functions with programs like Sound Master. These sounds may be double clicked under System 7 to play. Selecting a group of these files with the ΓÇ£command AΓÇ¥ keystroke or using the shift key will play them in order once they are double clicked under System 7.0 or higher.
Besides using System 7 to play these sounds you can use Sound Edit Pro to manipulate them along with other programs including Audioshop. You can also import this format into Adobe PreimerΓäó for use in your QuickTimeΓäó movies. System 7 format is currently the most adaptable format for sound.
AIFF Sounds
For those of you that want high quality sound, we have provided the AIFF format files at the Audio CD quality of 44K. If you have a nubus sound card such as AudioMediaΓäó or software based translation such as AudioShop you can hear the high quality of CD Audio in your projects. The reason we went with this format instead of just recording the tracks in audio format is that you will already have loopable sound segments at the highest quality (44K). Other projects require you to record their music and tackle the almost impossible task of creating loopable sound files without the original MIDI files and equipment.
Sound FactoryΓäó
Not only have we provided over 158 great music and sound tracks but Sound FactoryΓäó is a great audition and creation tool in its own right. And its included FREE with the Music Madness II CD-ROM series.
