How to use custom sound effects

One of the few good things one could do in Windows was to assign any sound effect you wanted to use to just about any operating system or other event.  For example, you could have Captain Pecard say "Minimize" whenever you minimized a window.
OS X (10.7 Lion in my case) doesn't make this as easy.  If you want to add your own sound effects to the pre-installed sound effects you get when you open System Preferences → Sound → Sound Effects, you must manually add them to the correct folder after first converting them into .aiff format.
I've done all this successfully, but I don't know the last step, namely, how to assign the new sound to a 'Custom' event.  I see my new sound files in the right place (System Preferences → Sound → Sound Effects), but it just says 'Custom' for the alert sount type.
Help would be appreciated.

So? Just select the name. BTW, all that does is select which one you want to use for ALERTs, nothing else. For anything else, such as those contained in
/System/Library/Components/CoreAudio.component/Contents/Resources/SystemSounds/f inder/ you need to rename the new sound as the original and put them into that same location.

  • How to use X-Fi Effects without selecting SB as the default sound device?

    How to use X-Fi Effects without selecting SB as the default sound device?Hello everyone,
    That's my situation.
    I have Sound Blaster X-Fi Go sound card and I am using SRS HD Audio Lab. SRS HD Audio Lab was selected as the default audio device and X-Fi effects (X-Fi CMSS-3d, Equalizer etc.) was working without any problem in Windows Xp. I have Windows 7 now and when i select SRS HD Audio Lab as the default device, Creative effects are not working, i must select "SB X-Fi Go!" to get them working but i can't use SRS HD Audio Lab in that case. SRS is also using SB X-Fi Go sound card as the output and volume adjustment on console launcher is working but something is disabling the effects. Any solutions to enable effects ?
    Thanks.

    If the kernel modules for your sound card and webcam both support the index parameter (use modinfo to find out) then adding
    options <name_of_preferred_card's_kernel_module> index=0
    options <name_of_second_card's_kernel_module> index=1
    to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (or another modprobe conf file of your choice) should solve the problem.

    Hello Aidan,
    Here is the statement from the Terms and Conditions of the iTunes Store:

  • Photo Booth - Custom Sound Effect?

    Is there any way I can set Photo Booth to play a custom sound effect each time a photo is taken rather than the default shutter sound?
    Thanks!

    Work with a COPY of Photo Booth.app so that you can revert to the original behavior if you don't like the results.
    Under Leopard, it's a simple matter of digging into Photo Booth.app and replacing the shutter sound-- /Applications/Photo Booth.app/Contents/Resources/photo_shutter.aiff -- with another short AIFF of the same name and in the same format (8 bit, mono, 8 KHz).
    Replace photo_shutter.aiff with any sound you choose. You do have to give it the same name so that the program can find it.
    Snow Leopard has tightened up code-signing. The above modification will probably break the app under SL, though it does work under Leopard.

    Thanks

    You mean "leave part in color and make the rest black and white"?
    Just select or mask the part that should be B&W and desaturate, or use the B&W adjustment.
    Or you can add a B&W adjustment layer and mask out the parts that should stay in color.

  • HOW TO: using custom fonts in native storyboard views from an ANE on iOS

    Hey,
      In our apps, we have embedded storyboards into an ANE, and successfully used those screens in an AIR app, and figured out how to use custom fonts in those views.
      I wrote a quick blog post about it and just thought I'd share it real quick in case it helps someone.

    Hi WayHsieh,
    >>can I just "install" fonts through Word App? Does Word Apps have enough privilege to install fonts on Windows? Can I just click a button in Word App, and then it will install fonts automatically?<<
    Based on my understanding, it is hard to achieve the goal. Because the app webpage is hosted inside an Internet Explorer control which, in turn, is hosted inside an app runtime process that provides security and performance isolation and it is under
    low-Integrity level.
    Here is the figure for apps for Office runtime environment in Windows-based desktop and tablet clients:

  • Question about How to Use Custom CellEditors

    Hi:
    I have been trying to implement something like this: I have a JPanel, and when you double-click a particular spot on it, I want a textbox to appear. Currently, I am implementing it by using an undecorated JDialog that contains a JTextField in it (such that the text field occupies all the space in the dialog, i.e. you can't even tell that there is a dialog). This seems like a hack to me.
    Another alternative that I have been thinking about is using layered panes, and hiding the textfield below the jpanel, and only bringing it to the front when the user double-clicks.
    Then, I stumbled onto custom celleditors. Now, it seems that everyone is using them in JTables, JLists, JComboBoxes, etc. and I was wondering if it is something that I can use with a JPanel.
    Can anyone comment on the implementations I am considering, as well as using custom celleditors with a JPanel?
    Thanks in advance,
    LordKelvan

    Still don't understand your requirement. Does the text field stay there or disappear after the data is entered? If it disappears, then how do you change the value, do you have to click on the exact same pixel again?
    Maybe you could use a MouseListener and then display a JOptionPane or JDialog to prompt for the information. Or if you want to display a JTextField then add a JTextField to the panel and then when the user enters the data by using the enter key or by clicking elsewhere on the GUI you remove the text field from the panel.

  • How to use custom API's

    Hi All,
    In OIM how can i use my own/Custom API"S. Wher do i need to place the Jar/Class files. Like in other Identity Management tools (I only have the experience of SUN) you can place the files under WEB-INF/lib or WEB-INF/classes and then can easily use them, does OIM provides this/similar kind of functionality and how we can use that.

    Hi,
    If you want to use custom API to create adapter then put the jar file in <OIM_Install>/xellerate/Java Task/
    folder and if you want to use them to create task Schedular then put it in <OIM_Install>/xellerate/Schedular/

  • How to use Custom Search in Dynamic Page or HTML Portlet ?

    Gurus,
    1. I have a tab called My Space in the portal web site, where user gets a personalized view of the content.
    2. I am using custom attributes and custom item types. I have a custom attribute called 'Location', which is a attribute of custom item types.
    3. I have 2 pages - News and Events.
    4. All the content in News and Events page is tagged by the attribute 'Location'.
    5. The requirement is to let the user search the News and Events by Location.
    6. To achieve this I used the Custom Search portlet and the user can select the attribute Location and see the resultant News and Event items by location in the Search portlet.
    7. The requirement is to present the News items and Event items in separate regions on the page and show only the first 5 News and Event items in the result and show a More link which would guide the user to rest of the News and Event items.
    8. Eventually there may be more content other than News and Events tagged by location. If so, the requirement is to create a new region and display the new content.
    9. How would I do this using custom search ? I was thinking if there is anyway I could use the custom search api (where can i find it ?) in the HTML portlet or Dynamic page and submit the result to IFRAMES in each region and show the output ?
    Pls advise.
    Thanx a bunch.

    I would suggest that you use two custom search portlets; one for the news items and one for the events items. Switch the custom search portlets to "AutoQuery" mode and add the relevant criteria. On the results display tab of the the "edit defaults" screen, choose to show just 5 items.
    To add a link to show the user mode results, I'd create two new pages that have just a single custom search portlet on it that is customised to show more of the results and maybe has the pagination links enabled.
    Then I'd add two "Page Link" items underneath the two news and events portlets on the first page in an item region.
    I'm sure there are other ways of doing this as well. Hope that helps to get you started.
