Old Sovereign link

I came across this old Sovereign sounds link looking for the old Sovereign mods website.

That's pretty cool. I think you have to click twice on some of the icons and right on the word to have them play, or at least it seemed like I had to to get them to go. The sounds are pretty "tinny" sounding though compared to what I hear. Mine are smoother, more like rich and buttery. The ones on that page seem like they are more being played with a bit too much trebble and a bit "anemic" sounding.

I may try to sample a bunch of stuff myself and stick up some sounds so potential Sovereign buyers could see how rich and detailed the audio is. All the Sovereign videos out there (including mine) are using the external speaker on the Sovereign for filming and that speaker doesn't do the smooth and detailed long audio of the Sovereign justic. I bet it's turned a lot of people off to buying one.

Sounds good to me i use HD audio those older model sovereigns used cheap low tech speakers naturally would sound tinny . Jim

I think that's a good idea. I'd download them on my phone.

I liked the iron sound.

That would really be great, to be able to hear the sounds.

You know, one idea I've been kicking around for over a year would be to sample about 150 random gold rings I have access to, then to sample a large random pull of round and square tabs, along with blobs of foil and other suck junk. Then burn all those sounds onto a CD, and then you could hit random shuffle while driving and play a game with yourself and try to guess what the target is going to be. 3 sounds of it first, then a slight pause, and then the voice on the CD would tell you what VDI it read and what the target was. Throw in a sheet with pics of all the ring targets so you could look and see how that ring you just heard looks, what K value, etc. I think that might be a good way to train your ear for at least what many rings *should* sound like, versus what a lot of trash *doesn't* sound like. Of course the two overlap a lot but there are general rules to rings sounding warm, smooth, soft, robust, round, and of "quality", while a lot of trash sounds harsh, bangy, sick, scratchy, tinny, hollow, and so on.
