Draggletail 12-06-2007, 16:14 That's great, so eerie - sounds like something off an early Floyd album :D
Have you tried capturing it with 'audacity?'

This (http://www.spacesounds.com/home/index.html) site has a few more, I personally think the rings of Saturn sound fantastic.
This (http://www.spacesounds.com/navigator/index.html) link sends you to a better navigator.

:confused: The option I get on right clicking is 'save target as' and that doesn't save the actual sound file :confused:
What's wget?

commuter 13-06-2007, 12:32 i've got it as a file. it was saved to temp internet files when I played it.
metalman 13-06-2007, 13:53 Cosmic. I've got loads of albums like that! :hihi:

Basically it's a multi-protocol file grabber traditionally installed on *nix systems.
Ports now available for Windoze.

Got it!
Handy tip, that! Now all I need to do is loop it in audacity and I have continuous ambient Saturn sounds :D

Worth knowing about - thanks, sccsux :)
Draggletail 13-06-2007, 15:04 Do you know where the 'Loop' option is in Audacity, sccsux? (or anyone)
I'm sure there is one but I can't find it.
It's probably under my nose :blush: :roll:

Hold down shift and the play key turns into a loop key. You can't save the file with the loop as this would produce an infinitely long file, I suppose the best thing would be a bit of cutting and pasting so the sound file lasts for much longer.

Thanks Mod_Man, appreciated :)
Draggletail 13-06-2007, 18:58 OK, if anyone likes it that much, I've edited it into a 29 minute seamless mp3 :D
You can download it here:
http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~draggle/saturn/PIA07966%5b1%5d.zip
It's a large ish file (27 MB) and will take maybe 2 mins to download on broadband.
EDIT: If anyone wants it as a wav file, pm me an email address and I'll send a zipped copy.
hehe, thanks Draggle - 2 minutes you say? took me < 30 seconds ;) hehe..

Humph :(
:hihi:
Does it play OK Ghozer? I downloaded it on one machine (win 2000) and it wouldn't play.
Downloaded fine and played fine on the other machine (XP)
I have it as a wav file too if anyone wants that I'll send it zipped.
yeha, played ok on xp pro, vista and OSX -- though i can spot the seams ;) hehe

*groans* don't say that ..... I'm daft enough to go do it all again :suspect: :D

hehe, go for it, Did you copy/paste in a direct cut, or did you actually over-lap and evenly fade?? I think a 4 second overlap from the end <> start and a Frequency merge with a fade out/in at the same pace will give a better result.

Mmmm, don't know about all that, my first attempt.
Just did a copy and paste in a direct cut.
Might have a faff about further.
To my ears, the join just sounds like part of the Saturn sound :D
Don't mind if you want to have a go - I promise not sulk :D
