That's very generous of you. Thank you. Now if my crappy-ass hotmail account can handle it, I may take you up on that offer. Oh, the Firefly noises my computer could make!

Viva Firefly!

a bit off topic, but does anybody have the ability to pull wavs from video. Would love some shiny wavs from ,war stories, trash, & objects in space? or Serenity 1&2 for that matter

Any brave takers?

Does anyone want entire audio files? I made wav's of the entire eps. About 40-50 MB each. I gave them to Maniac so he could listen as he types all night at work. Email info@strangefinger.com or maniac@magicbishop.com and one of us can help you. If you have Windows Messenger, it would help if you included your username in the email. Have a nice day.

Okay, boredom, stubbornness, insomnia, and Beamish Stout have combined to prompt me to download the trial version of a program called "Ace of WAV" which will enable me to edit WAV sounds, once I figure out how to use its more advanced features. I have already used it to edit out all but the last fiddle riff from the end credits (pretty kool; it gives you a graph of the wave form for the sound, you click to set a beginning and end point, and clip the file where you wish), and set it as my shutdown sound.

The next project will be to isolate the guitar riff from the very start of the end credits for my startup sound. This one will be a bit more difficult, as I have to stretch the last guitar note, then fade that stretch, so it doesn't just clip out abruptly and sound schlocky. Once I get these down, I will be happy to email them to anyone who is set up to post them for general consumption (there's that word again!).

More generally, this program should enable me to isolate itty-bitty bits of sound and create a whole Firefly theme for Windows (e.g., "Da-wubba-who?" for the "question" sound, assorted Mandarin blue streaks for "critical stop" and other nastiness, etc.). I'll keep y'all posted on these projects. Any sources of random FF sounds (aside from WAVsite.com, which I know about) would be welcome.

Slightly off-topic, but incidentally, I think the animation of firefly with the burning/flaring outline at the end of the shows makes a great wallpaper and/or screensaver.

Actually, unless you could get it to move around the screen, it would make an atrocious screen saver, as it would burn itself into the screen in fairly short order. Same would go for it as a wallpaper. Cool as it would be to look at, it would take a toll on your monitor(as I learned when I used SETI at home's screen "saver." I still see ghosts of the fool thing on my screen, even though I discontinued it well over a year ago!).

Just a word to the wise from the unwise.

Say 'Tash, do you have WAVs of the opening and ending themes? I was able to find the end theme, but only in MP3, which I can't edit with the program I have (and I lack the initiative to find, download, and learn another...there's only so far the Beamish Stout will get me!).

I managed to do a passable job editing the fiddle coda from the snippet of the end theme which was posted above, smoothing the attack with a quick fade, so that it doesn't just leap out of nowhere in a jarring fashion. Will be happy to send along to anyone who's interested.

If you've got it, you can find my e-mail addy in my profile.

Thanks and keep flyin'!

I've been feeling majorly full of Firefly love and bitterness, plus I'm a media geek, so I've been making sound clips. You can find them in the media section of my site ( http://dearone.net). Right now I've got the theme in mp3 format, plus random sounds from Our Mrs. Reynolds, Safe and Ariel. Just kind of working my way through as the mood strikes, and yep, I'll take requests -- email me or drop a comment via the site (only ep I don't have on SVCD is The Train Job, so can't clip from that one right now). If you haven't gotten the startup/shutdown sounds you wanted yet, feel free to contact me. I can use SoundForge to pull small sequences, extend notes, etc.

You are a shiny one. I'm wanting wavs for war stories, trash, & serenity 1&2, and objects. The whole, "My sister's a ship" thing.

I'm wanting to make a CD of music inspired by Firefly with sound clip intro's. Once I get it done I'll post the song list with appropriate wav text
