    I never experienced Windows 95 in its prime. I was born in 2001, and got my hands on a Windows XP laptop somewhere around 2004-2005 when my dad bought one for our family. I must have heard the XP startup sound like thousands of times!
    Yet, this startup jingle here hits like no other. It's almost like being dragged to a new, exciting adventure every time you start up your computer. Really, really beautiful. In fact, I just replaced both my laptop's and desktop's startup sound with this enhanced one just to get that little bit of excitement, haha!

    • @grinjaturtle
      @grinjaturtle  Рік тому +10

      Right? Startup sounds is not like they used to be. I love all the startup sounds actually, but Win2000 is my personal favorite. Ever heard the Win11 startup sound? It's super short and simple but oddly reminicent of the Win95 one.

      Hey, fellow 2001 kid!
      I feel the same way.
      Windows XP is so nostalgic, but in a more dream like way. I was very young, so some of the memories are a bit more foggy.
      After that, windows 7 has a special place in my heart too. Its what I used the most during my teenage years, because my windows xp computers motherboard burnt to a crisp unfortunately and I had to get a new one.
      I also remember windows 98 fondly. I had a friend who kept 98 for a long, long time and I used it whenever I went over to his place. I wonder if that old piece of metal is still alive today haha.
      Despite the end of support for 10 getting nearer, I'm very reluctant to upgrade to 11. I hate the way it looks. This modern Macintosh wannabe look they're going for is ugly as hell to me. And since Microsoft has fallen into the bland, ugly and boring corporation minimalism, refuses to understand the power of nostalgia and keeps windows ui costumization as hostage, there's no way 12 will be any better.

    There is no way you could acheive this with just noise, removal, and compression... Even if you clean it up really well, the original sound file is so compressed that some parts of the sound are too clipped to recover. You must have recreated some instrument patches to match to make up for lost frequencies.

    • @grinjaturtle
      @grinjaturtle  3 роки тому +233

      You're right. There is no way. Others might have said that I only used equalizer, noise removal and compression, but I never said that. And I did recreate some instruments, but only the synth at the end. The other trick, like increasing the frequency range on the vibraphone for instance, is a trick I don't really care to share too much of right now. It's a lot of work, I can tell you that much.
