it's a sound i got stuck in my head..

i think it's from the header of some movie.. like before the movie starts, the movie studio has its logo shown.. and that's a sound from that thingie! i'm pretty sure of that

so, i made a sample that's.. as near as how i remember that.

note the synth sound might not be the right one... a general string sound.

it's a C major 9 going to a C major 9. 5 instruments, and the notes are gliding... C3->D4, D4->C3, E3->B3, B3->E3 and G3 is in the middle untouched (it glides to itself :D)

the person to find that sound for me gets a beer!

though it might take a bit before i can get you a non-virtual one :P

virtual instruments, virtual effects... virtual beer... ;)

best regards

help me get away from insanity

this sound is driving me nutz

I'll take that beer, please. :)

If it's the right sound (the original is a little different) is Dolby Labs' Dolby THX sound. It plays at the start of THX audio-encoded movies. Lucasfilm is pretty strict about it being online, but at the moment you can find it here: http://www.synthmania.com/Audio%20Files/Famous%20Sounds/Dolby%20THX.mp3. It was created with a Synclavier 2 at Skywalker Studio in California.

The THX "The Audience is Listening" / Deep Note.  Several versions can be found at

Try the one called Broadway from 1983.  These are really impressive in a DTS theater or even from a 5.1 channel home surround receiver, though the Windows Media Player versions at the above page don't sound all that great on my iBook's undersizde, built-in stereo speakers.

Virtual beers are fine.

In the late Paul Beaver's & Bernie Krause's album entitled "In A Wild Sanctuary", there is a cut ("Spaced") that start off with a much more dramatic version.

This version may even preceed Dolby Lab's.

The Los Angeles Griffith Observatory Planetarium used the cut in their "Mission To Mars" program many years ago.
