Comment 18 for bug 539169

Having listened to all of the sound theme submissions (and submitted one myself), I'm not sure that any one submission is a perfect sound set. I think OisinLunny's startup sounds are absolutely wonderful, and really carry the affect of "light". I decided to try combining some of the best sounds from different sets into a new sound set, and here is the result:

Being based on multiple submissions, this sound theme is truly a community effort, which is why I gave it the name "CommUnity". Of course, the capitalized "Unity" references the Ubuntu desktop interface by the same name :)

To create this theme, I mixed the following sounds:

  . Login screen: <email address hidden>/UbuntuDesktopLoginOisinLunny.wav
  . User logs in: <email address hidden>/UbuntuDesktopReadyShortOisinLunny.wav
  . User logs out: <email address hidden>/UbuntuEmailOisinLunny.wav
  . Start new IM (receive): S. Christian Collins/Ubuntu Light IM New Conversation 1.wav
  . Start new IM (send): S. Christian Collins/Ubuntu Light IM New Conversation 2.wav
  . Continue IM (receive): S. Christian Collins/Ubuntu Light IM Continued Conversation 3.wav
  . Continue IM (send): S. Christian Collins/Ubuntu Light IM Continued Conversation 4.wav
  . Incoming E-mail: S. Christian Collins/Ubuntu Light Desktop Ready 1.wav
  . Error: S. Christian Collins/Ubuntu Light Error 1.wav
  . Notification: BioBiro/3 New Email.wav
  . Device connected: S. Christian Collins/notification-1.wav
  . Device disconnected: S. Christian Collins/notification-2.wav

I also made the following modifications:

  . Trimmed the leading and trailing silence from some of the sounds.
  . Transposed the sounds from the S. Christian Collins set into a different key and change to a brighter EQ to better blend with OisinLunny and BioBiro sounds.
  . Made sure the volume is balanced between sounds.

What do you guys think? Is this not better than the current Ubuntu soundset?
