Small, six note marimba, recorded wide stereo with a sony pcm-d50. The notes are, from low to high, f, g, a, c#, d#, and f. Two samples were taken per note.
My sax player friend played a few things for me and so i sampled parts of them (fairly long parts) to share. Used a sm57 about 3 inches away from the barrel.
Kelon xylophone recorded with single neumann u-87. Very bright with sharp attack (as kelon tends to be). Cuts through a track like a hot knife through chocolate.
This is the sound of an lrad (long range acoustic device). I managed to create this sound with a basic sample from nch tone generator and a few days of processing in goldwave.
An imitation of hurricane force winds i made using my compressed air can and a high end sony portable recorder. Blowing the air across the mic face sideways. Raw and unprocessed. 44. 1/24bit.
Chromatic notes starting at c0. Really sweet double delayed saw waves with lots of harmonics. Drop this into your sampler and hit it with a low pass filter and get a good groove going. Enjoy!.
Forest drum sound similar to the old donkey kong style sounds with some atmospheric sound that carries on after using a cement mixer and some rain. If some aspects of this sound are not to your liking there's a couple variations on my page.
