For any of you HAWX players, you all probably know what I'm talking about. The minute the game starts up, the purple Ubisoft logo animation comes up and plays that interesting sound clip before going to the Tom Clancy logo, the game sponsors, etc.

I think that the sound played during the Ubisoft logo animation would be GREAT for a computer's boot sound, but I'm not sure how I could obtain that sound (other than a crappy mic recording). Can anyone manage to get that sound with the highest quality possible?

If it helps, this youtube video has the segment I'm talking about:

Load up a copy of Fraps, record, seperate vid and sound in VirtualDUB, and then trim it to what ya want, then use it as a startup. :)

I don't have a copy of any Ubisoft games on hand do to this for you with, sorry.. Buit Fraps has a freeware version for 30 days, and VirtualDUB is free with a simple google search. :p

I remember in versions of Windows prior to XP, you could manually change the bootup sound by replacing the Startup.wav file, or whatever it was called, with one of your own, of course you had to rename it so Windows thought it was the default one.

Hows that even relevant? He wanted someone to rip or record the ubisoft sound on the startup of the game HAWX..

Besides XP and further on let you customise your sound scheme in a non hacky manner.

    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug

      Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update

      Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
