Apparently I have a bunch of scala tuning files from 1996

Did you take a liberal definition of "downloads directory" like the other guy?

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nope, are you weirdly angry for no reason?

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No. That's just a long time ago.

I can't imagine you're on the same machine, so I guess you must have rolled over your files in such a way that the download directory was still preserved?

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Fair enough - didn't mean to sound confrontational.

I definitely didn't download the files that long ago, that's just when they were created. I probably downloaded them in 2020 or 2021.

The real mystery of my download folder is only a few weeks old, and was caused by a year long obsession I've developed - it's called "what is this.mp3"

If anyone knows what this sample is called, please let me know! It's the new craze I guess

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 month ago

It sounds kind of like the Morse code for "8".

That’s the “wheel up signal” from the blu mar ten junglejungle sample pack. Classic sound in jungle and uk garage music.

https://blumarten.bandcamp.com/album/blu-mar-ten-jungle-jungle-1989-to-1999-samplepack

The sample is taken from this song

https://youtu.be/cpFlb7QaQZc

It was originally recorded from a saxon soundsystem clash in 1993

At 1h3m36s

Also known as a “dub siren”

Thank you! Was driving me mad

Live dnb mixes generally, or occasionally in bass heavy tracks (something abrasive like G Jones)

[–] dizzy@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fair enough, yeah it’s generally a nod to the jamaican influence in UK soundsystem and rave culture

Another one you’ll hear a lot is the weird horn sample from the intro of ray keith’s terrorist (the fat clean reese bass just before the drums come in is sampled all over the place too)

I was playing call of duty last night (I know) and I realized that there is a ~500ms sample of the wheel up signal that plays every time someone gets a killstreak. I feel like I'm descending into madness now - Pandora's box has been opened. Where else will this sample show up - is no audio safe?

[–] dizzy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mate I’m Crim in MP… nothing to be ashamed of haha! No fucking way!? In MWIII?

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yup, MWIII! Maybe I'm losing it, but I swear they used a single cycle of it quietly to notify an event (i'm not 100% sure what the trigger is, i thought kill streaks but it might actually be related to dying)

[–] dizzy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Haha I’ll have to listen out for it!

I’ve been hooked on this tune for a couple of weeks and it’s got both the wheel up signal and the ray keith squeak lol
