Hitting radiator with fingers and scrapping over with a metallic object (car-key). Additionally amplified, notch-filter and accented subs. Results in a interesting sound scape. I've started to save my files in pcm format (instead of acm) because there was additionally quality loss. Recorded with a ultra cheap microphone unit of my mp3 player. Reduced noise.
Multiple takes of dropping a metal lid from a container onto a wood floor. Some takes have a nice rattle as the lid vibrates after impact. Recorded using an akg c414 b-uls microphone into a john hardy m-1 preamp into pro tools.
Just one of a bunch of shoe hits on a metal trash can. I used a home-built contact mic made from a cheapo piezo. This was fed into an h4n and edited in pro tools.
Create from aholicsound's sound 'spring-door-banging-bathroom-stall-slamming', cut section 22. 282 to 24. 510s, clean up before and after, and fade out end use audacity.
Simple synth snare + 3 higher speeds. ⸻ "how do you make a classic synth snare, do you just take white noise and go like. . . " *goes like* ". . . Huh" yep you just go like. (going like consists of setting an oscillator to sine with just a release tail and noise + a lowpass snapping up and trailing off gently + compression/distortion of some sort + high frequency shelf snapping down from high gain and then back up).
Crash sample one-shot. These crashes were all made with virtual drum synths and processed through some analogue console emulation and added saturation. They were then trimmed to get rid of any dead space before or after the sample and finally normalized to 0db. This file is part of my anu crashes pack.
