I set a hammer down on a variety of wooden surfaces, so that it could masquerade as someone setting down a big old fire axe in an audiodrama. (it does work to lower the pitch if you're looking for a bigger sound. ) mono recording, zoom h4 internal mic.
Studio recording of a 10'' inflatable stand-up surf board being deflated. I included a roughly designed version first, and the raw mono take. Format:wav 44khz 16bit mono. Gear:neumann tlm-102audiofuse interface.
A broken space heater that clicks. Recorded with a zoom h5 using the onboard xyh-5 capsule to capture a stereo signal and a sennheiser k6/me66 for a mono track. Very minor post processing to balance the stereo/mono and pull the subs out of the side channels.
--- warning: loud and disruptive! ---. A dirty squelchy modular sequence / loop at 100bpm, with abruptly changing pitches and parameters. Recorded in mono. Some crazy heavy bass, along with general destruction.
