Ok I'll make the start here....
Apart from music which I find to my beloved RR I like to add to sessions all kinds of sounds to create atmosphere. That's a project that Lord Elrond has sujested I think and it might be a feature on our site in the future, until then....
I have found Softrope a very easy soundscape mixer. This software and a big compilation of sound effects are great. I once used it to add rain, wolves, even cemetery bells.....ohhooohh spooky.

Do you use a sound mixer? Which one?

Ohh, that looks as a great app!
Too bad it's for Windows so I cannot check it out.

That sounds like a really nice app indeed!

It's very easy to use.
The only drawback I can think of is that you actually have to find your own sound compilations to download....
Apart from that I think it's great. I once spend a hole night playing with it. You get to name every theme and put little pictures to the buttons, adjust volumes etc...

I' ve heard there is an app for Skype (like an add-on) that is a dice roller for everyone in the call to see.
Does anyone know anything abou it?
I don't have the strength today to search on my own...

That's odd.... You just press "New scene", a new button appears you double click it and that's basically how you start.
Maybe you thought that there will be already a few sounds? You need to have your own sounds to mix.

I've started working on a very simple version of the Rivendell soundboard. Or whatever do you call these things? Sound mixer?
Ioanna, what do you like about Softrope? What would you like to have changed? Rivendell's "thingy" will be packed with great fantasy sounds. It will be an page here on the site, similar to our radio player.

Oh goodie!!! I can't wait!
Well let's see... First I will tell you what I don't like...
I had to find my own sounds to mix, this was tricky... Apart from that it took me a lot of time to actually create a theme(search the mp3 file "not this rain the other rain with thunders!"
. But once it was finished you simply had to press a button.
I liked all simple stuff all sound mixers have, like the option to make a sound loop or to adjust every sounds volume( e.g. so that you could hear the creepy church bell ringing in the background).
Can't wait to see the first version, oh and please make sure it will play on Firefox!!! Ok?

It will play everywhere! Now I've just tested Chrome and Firefox, but works like a charm in both. It should work in all browsers and devices.
How much control do you need for all sounds? Is it enough with three volumes of each sound? And all environmental sounds (wind, forest, ocean etc.) are always looped.
It will also be packed with all sounds from the beginning, no more searching

Though this requires royalty free samples though...

This could be very tricky... Let's see what we can find on this matter...

I do my development using sounds from games, but they will definitely not be royalty free. There are sounds on http://www.freesound.org/, though they are not that perfect as the game sounds already are
