Hello all. I had a thought (a rare and dangerous occurrence): It would be cool to have the opening guitar flourish at the beginning of the "Ballad of Serenity" as a windoze startup sound, and the fiddle coda at the end for a shut-down sound.

Lacking the technology and expertise to accomplish this on my own, let me propose a way to do this for anyone not so limited: The problem is with the decay of the last guitar note before Sonny starts a-singin'; it would chop off rather jarringly unless somehow stretched and faded. Does anyone know how this might be done? If so, is anone set up to post the sound somewhere for general Browncoat consumption (having nothing whatsoever to do with tuberculosis ["TB or not TB, that is the congestion" --Woody Allen])?

The closing coda would not be as much of a problem to edit, as the attack of the fiddle note is pretty uncluttered, and could probably be excised without undue fuss.

Yadda-yadda... Any takers?

Keep flyin'!

And a last hopeful bump. Seemed like a good idea...

dood...this would be cool but I have no clue how to do anything like that. I do have those desktop themes though with the whole theme as a shutdown and Mal's intro on startup. shhhh...dont tell anyone i made themes! (hehe right! pass it on!)

let me know if you're interested in those.

Hey dood;

I thought about using the whole theme, but, considering how often I have to re-boot this ant-hill called windoze, I would run a serious risk of becoming sick of that wonderful piece of music, which would be wholly unacceptable. Not to mention the time involved with hearing the whole theme (nearly a minute) would slow down even further the already-interminable boot sequence.

So, the search continues.

Actually, I do have some VERY audio-savvy friends who might be able to accomplish this (got links to the WAVs of the beginning and end themes?). If they can do this, I will be sure to post them...that is, unless some industrious Browncoats beat me to it

Keep flyin'!

I made a couple for my own personal use (from the .mp3s of the Opening Title and End Titles). Might not be exactly what you wanted, but thought I'd share anyway.

...still a little whimsical in the brain pan...

With credit given to that guy up there (pointing up)I just cut up and mixed up a few short sound wavs for e-mail & commands using sound recorder, but I'm not sure how to post them up here. Not to mention I'm on a company server. But it was really fairly easy. Shiny

If you'd like to email them to sakrysta@yahoo.com , I'll upload them to my webspace and post them here. :)
