| + | surprise nostalgia years later when I hear an HEV suit charging, the chunk | ||

| + | |||
| + | Of course the classic Quake sound effects from McGee/Romero/Reznor are high | ||
| + | on that list. So for a while now I'd thought it would be nerdycool to set a | ||

| + | candidates and then extract, rename, noise-reduce, format-convert, and | ||
| + | gain-normalize them. | ||
