STATUS UPDATE: I spent an evening cataloging and organizing several hundred TOS sound effects into the project. Wee!
Bill Walker can attest as to how much "fun" he had recreating, re-recording ambient bridge sounds and chatter for our productions.
Actually, it was kinda fun. You don't realize how many variations there are in bridge ambience mixes until you listen to a whole bunch of them.
Well I have tons of existing TOS tracks, far beyond those on the Star Trek Sound effects CD, so there are numerous "canned" bridge ambiences, like some from The Cage/Where No Man to a general 3rd Season bridge ambience. There's also quite a number of separated elements, so I could do some custom ambience if need be. One thing I discovered upon listening to the audio for "Beauregard" from the Man Trap...if you slow it way down it appears it's just the sound of a seal or a sea lion that's been sped way up and played backwards and forwards.
Cool, I had no idea about Beauregard. I remember seeing a similar visual effect in Wolf 351 on The Outer Limits. Back to the ambient bridge noises and chatter, I think folks will be very pleasantly surprised with our approach to it.
Dennis, i remembered your mention of this and decided to try this place. They didn't have one here in Dec. I just noticed one that opened here about a month ago near the Wal Mart where we live. About the same price, cooked on large flat hot surface and not char grilled over an open flame. Makes for a juicier burger. Liked the Cajun fries. Nice simple decor. Clean but crowded which makes me wonder if this is what you were alluding to? The music was a tad loud. I don't remember the last time I saw so many people working an assembly line behind a hamburger prep area. Overall a okay place. Everything looked fresh as you would hope for. I liked the sacks of potatos stored right out in the dining area as part of the signiature diining atmosphere. Interesting touch. . . .
What did you expect from someone who resides in the D.C. area? As a certain Vulcan scientist would say, "Constant exposures to political shortsightedness and other unethical acts on the part of bureaucrats often result in a certain level of contamination."
