I adore this! It brings me back to drawing with Kid Pix when I was younger

Really cool! Allowing a sound to be bound to the undo shortcut would elevate the sense of frustration.

A dream come true. I’ve been hoping for a feature like this for a long time. Coming from a long background in traditional drawing, I missed the sounds produced by various instruments. Maybe it’s just me, but I find these sounds relaxing and helpful for concentration. Thank you so much, davi133.

For me too, a dream came true. Thank you! :tada:

A few feedbacks/requests:

  • Volume excessively low for “pencil” and “paint brush” sounds - almost inaudible. Would be very useful to know how to modify the volume in “.py” source files.

  • I’d like max “Master volume” higher in general.

  • I’d like to be able to edit sounds and assign/make new ones (if you have some instructions/tips).

Thank you very much! :slight_smile:

I used this site Noise Generator - Online White, Pink, Brownian Noise - 29a.ch to create the base noise of pencil, but mostly I used numpy.fft to filter white noise and create what I want

Hey, how about an elevator sound when you change the position of the layers? :joy:

  • Just updated on github, the sound effects volume should be higher now. The paint brush sound shouldn’t be very high anyway unless you are painting fast.
  • About making new sounds: I’d like to make a documentation about it but first I have to refactor some things

Thank you so so much, super kind :sparkling_heart:

Very better IMO

@davi133 , I have to say that the Master volume is still too low, I have to put at very high volume my speakers or headphones to hear something, then the other system sounds are too high…

Updated again (v1.1.2), this time I tested with youtube on max volume. I fear that if I increase more than that it could reduce ‘reactivity’ of the sound effects or give the audio a weird noise on the moments it really should be high

Thank you again, I’ll have to test a bit, but at first impression I love it :sparkling_heart:

(I’m so grateful to you)

About the noise with high volume, I’d have this idea, if you and/or someone else find it useful:

Maybe less dynamic? I mean less difference given by speed.

Since everyone has different preferences, could be made through a slider, or a selection, kind of:

  • 0 - No Dynamic
  • 0.2 - A bit of Dynamic
  • 0.5 - Medium Dynamic
  • 1 - Max Dynamic

This way i.e. the “0 - No Dynamic” would use the max volume from the start on every stroke.

Interesting experience. Unfortunately I have a lag (around 1/4 s). This spoils the experience a bit. Overall, this is a very interesting idea.

Works great, I love this!

I love this so much. Is there anyway to get this running with the flathub version? Or the appimage? I can’t seem to get it work on either.

It cannot run in the flatpak version, flatpak runs apps in a sandbox and this plugins needs portaudio as an external dependencie, but it was supposed to be already working with AppImage.
