Such soothing sounds favorably allocate my office, creating a unique atmosphere of harmony and unity with nature. For the program, there are a set of sound effects that you can control yourself.
As there is an alarm clock, configurable time shifts day and night mode, startup and shutdown time, the different volume controls, auto-detection of sound cards. Aura works great with the stick in Windows XP and Vista. I advise everyone to use if you do not, then at least try
