A little word of warning, although you might be very pleased with yourself for adding some background music, your visitors might not be too happy. Background music often irritates the person listening to it and gives your site a tacky feel. If you insist on having background music, give the user the option to turn it off, or even better, the option to turn it on in the first place.

In a script written for audio theater, a slamming door or a ringing phone may sound just right. But because we are recording the complete text of already published books, sound effects are often redundant. For example, if the author has written "Then the phone rang" and right after that we put in the sound of a ringing phone, it's like saying the same thing twice. About the only sound effects we use are on the voices themselves.

Sure, use your current joystick instead of my primary and secondary panels. Either add a DB25 connector to the back panel of your commercial stick for the other panels to plug into (and wire it into your commercial stick's encoder), or remove the encoder from the commercial stick and mount it in a project box and connect the commercial stick using DB25 connectors like in the plans included here.

Each of the three list boxes contain audio loops that continually repeat. The loops are of different lengths so that when combined with other loops, the overall sound will repeat only after a very long time period. The tracks line up differently against each other each time they repeat, so the composite sound is continually changing. The wide-bandwidth water sounds are also very effective at masking the intelligibility of unwanted conversations.
