A large scoop pounding away at a concrete bridge to demolish it. Sounds of metal and concrete banging repetitively. Background is an idling utility service truck.
A metal axe striking a piece of brick, sending shards of debris across the dirt. High pitched 'tink" sound. Recorded with a rode videomic pro into a zoom h5 recorder.
This is two slabs of concrete , one on top of the other, and scraped together. In this sample i have changed the rate to give it a 'bigger slab' effect. You can also add reverb and play with the rate yourself for more dramatic effect.
Me walking as intensively as i can on the concrete floor of my garage in big boots. Intermittent sounds of cars and me struggling to breathe do leak through slightly but the sound is pretty clean overall if you're looking for a pronounced, stompy sound.
Slow walk with leather shoes on concreet floor in an reverrberated accoustic. A few steps, stand by, u-turn, few steps. Close up. France, 2018recorded with schoeps cmc6 mk41recorded on nagra ares bbwave mono, 48khz, 24bits.
So there's a slightly back story here. So i was visiting a blank lot super frustrated and i picked up a brick from a reserved pile and smashed it onto the ground. Hopefully nobody even noticed.
Pull up a chair and have a seat! a wooden dining room chair was used to lift, scoot, and place on a hard, concrete floor. Gear: zoom h6, ssh-6 shotgun capsule, windscreen. Please feel free to leave feedback and ratings. I would love to hear how you put the sound to work.
A pneumatic air tool (jackhammer) was used to lower some concrete blocks on the exterior of our garage. I was inside the house recording it with a zoom h2 recorder. So this was recorded through an insulated wall. This is the longer recording.
A short walk cycle on a concrete sidewalk with some ambient wind in the background - i really need a windshield. Loops seamlessly. Recorded with a roland edirol r-09hr and edited in audacity. If you use this sample, please tell me what you did with it below! links are nice too.
This is a case front-loader/backhoe loading up concrete that was just broken up and loading it to a nearby dump truck. There are a couple workers using shovels and speaking a little bit of spanish i think. Unedited. No effects. Equipment: rode nt3 to sound devices 702.
Field recording in the french pyrenees. A large flock of sheep run down the mountainside. Shepherd calling and the odd dog bark or bleet but it's more or less a steady flow of bells. 48k/16 bitrecorded with a schoeps cmc6 ortf array into a wendtx2/fostex fr2recorded in 2009.
From under a concrete bridge, the sound of cars driving at a fairly high speed over the decking. Unlike some similar bridges, this one does not produce any loose metal clanking at the joints and there is very little flange to the sound as the cars pass.
Below a bridge/overpass. Cars pass overhead, causing sharp thumping sounds across the stereo field that reverberate through the large concrete space below.
Walking on the concrete area of a nature trail on a late summer evening. Heavy footsteps with hard impact on concrete. The sound of crunched acorns and sticks can occasionally be heard and a pine cone being kicked. Crickets chirp continuously in the background. Recorded in southeast usa with a sony ic recorder.
