Author Topic: THX Logo Sound Don Sneed Master Film Handler Posts: 451 From: Texas City, TX, USA Registered: Aug 2001 posted 10-21-2001 09:30 AM                        I have a question, do anyone know how to get the THX Logo sound on the laptop, when I first got mine a few years ago a tech installed the Logo sound wave on start up of the laptop, we had since replace my laptop 3-times, I now have a Panasonic toughbook (maybe this one will last awhile), but it is cool to have the THX logo & sound appear at startup instead of the the windows startup wave....Do anyone know how I can get this sound on my laptop, & where do I find the sound wave, I already have the THX logo as wallpaper, be nice to had the sound to go with it...thanks  |  IP: Logged William T.

Yourself, Leroy, My Self and My Brother did an install job down in Rockport, Tx 4 years or so ago. To install the sound logo you will need to download the wav file. Then go into the sounds properties menu in the control panel, find the start up sound file and replace it with the THX wav file. Lovely Picture of me Brad. Guess I should have included my own picture when I sent you the photo's of the UA cine 6 Friday eh?  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

While it doesn't sound too good in an Imax theater, it should do okay through a PC's speakers. I usually use MusicMatch to quickly decode MP3s.  |  IP: Logged Don Sneed Master Film Handler Posts: 451 From: Texas City, TX, USA Registered: Aug 2001 posted 10-21-2001 05:05 PM                        Hey, William, wow it's been awhile, Rockport job was a bad time in my life, wish I could go back & redo, I have to e-mail you to see what you been up to....by the way, I see in your picture you are shooting the Rod....shame on you !!!  |  IP: Logged Joe Beres Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 606 From: Minneapolis, MN, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 10-21-2001 06:02 PM                     Thanks for the mp3 file adam!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-21-2001 06:34 PM                     Here's a shot I took directly off of a 35mm "THX Broadway" print with my digital camera, resized for an 800 x 600 desktop.

That image can use some cleaning up... the black isn't black everywhere it is supposed to be. And no I am not offering to fix it... I must be begged, ordered, bribed, etc.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-21-2001 09:20 PM                     Most laptops can not go any higher than that...at least laptops as of a couple of years ago seemed to be that way. Things have probably changed. If there is actually anyone who wants a version for a higher rez desktop, I'll shoot it and command Joe to touch it up.  |  IP: Logged
