There’s a certain “scolding“ quality in the audio alerts for Spell Catcher X. Maybe it’s just me . . .

I’m guessing that they were recorded as single words or phrases. That leads to a likelihood of awkward emphasis.

You might try record the important words/phrases as parts of ordinary sentences where they are not emphasized -- then cut out for the final version. You may be able to get away from some of the “scolding” flavor.

These sounds were recorded a very long time ago. Feel free to send us some alternatives!

I'm not even sure we can get the same person that recorded the sounds to re-record them. And I wouldn't want to use my voice.

Also note you can choose any sound you'd like, the only requirement is that the file is a .aiff file, and it's placed in either the (root of boot volume) /Library/Sounds folder or (home) ~/Library/Sounds folder.
