#TYPEWRITER SOUND ON LAPTOP GENERATOR#

If I had used the actual key sounds of her typewriter (which would have been cool) the sounds would have been too long and would have overlapped each other when writing fast. NOTE THAT the key press sounds I recorded aren't the keys themselves, but the sound made by the typing bars of Violet's typewriter when they hit the paper. So it was that using the typewriter effects we can hear in the Violet Evergarden OST and some other typewriter sounds extracted from the anime, I recorded a small set of sound effects that ended up fitting well with what I wanted, and I've been using them for my writings since I finished the anime. When writing fast, for example, the key press sounds overlapped and glitched.įortunately, the program allows to load custom sounds. It did its job very well at first, but the default typewriter sounds of the program didn't feel authentic enough for me and some sounds were even out of place or didn't make sense for the keys I was pressing.

So it was that I found a software that turned every single key and mouse button press into a sound, called Key Sound Generator ( you can download it here for free). lifeless, it lacked what a writer -even a rookie one- would want to feel while dumping their ideas on a blank page. But something always felt off with my keyboard, it was too. In real life I'm a hobbyist writer who spends 60%+ of his time sitting in front of a screen making drafts for small writing projects, and I've been doing this for several years now. While watching Violet Evergarden back in 2018 I couldn't help falling in love with old typewriters again.
