Copyrighting a noise  You must be a rap producer

I have been using a 5.1 setup for years. I prefer headphones which work perfectly with the way AH does 3D sounds. I experimented with sounds and I tried producing stereo and 5.1 surround sounds but mono was the only type that worked with 3D positioning of vehicles while stereo in some instances created performance issues. Checking into the way DirectSound works I discovered that (as of 2002 at least) the expected game input was 22kHz and 8 or 16 bit (never could nail down if the bit-depth was important).

And here are a few recordings I made in testing this (with my own custom copyrighted B-17 sound):

Well thank you I am using your sound now.

No you are not. You are using a recording of a test sound.

I can see Ranger respects copyrights about as much as anyone else around here.
