Short: Sound of pool-balls. Top quality.
Uploader: jawil@aid.no (Jan Roger Wilkens)
Type: mus/smpl

Sound details.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This sound was captured at a pool-saloon in Oslo. The sound of the
pool-balls is very distinct, but when they roll - they're rather quiet!
This short sequence suffers from a bit of noise. This noise was not
present in the original 16 bit recording, it appeared after converting
the samlple to 8 bit and is typically due to this low resolution.

Recording and processing details.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This sound was captured with a Sony ECM-979 MS stereo condenser
microphone and recorded directly onto a Sony TCD-D3 portable DAT
recorder. It was later transferred digitally to an Akai S-1100
equipped with a digital I/O board, and finally to the Amiga via MIDI
sample dump in Samplitude Professional. Since the recording was done
on a DAT, the sampling rate was quiet high; 48kHz. I decided to lower
this rate to half the speed before I converted the sound to 8bits. Now
the sound has a frequency of 24.131 Hz. This was done in order to save
space but still keep up with the high sound quality from the original
16 bit file. This also ensures that the soundfile is compatible with
Amiga 8bit sound software. (Many 8bit programs have problems with
*VERY* high playback rates.) Please beware that Samplitude Professional
exports IFF sound with a default volume setting of 0 (zero). I haven't
changed this.
