I've only had one take of breaking glass mirror shot for feature film - so i used 3 different microphones at different input levels & position to avoid clipping. This one is from oktava mk-012 short condenser microphone with omni capsule to sound devices 788t. .
A funky breakbeat created with reason 4. 0 and reason drumkits 2. 0 inspired by old-school breaks like the amen. This is the version of the break with hihats.
Standard halogen (not the new energy efficiency) bulb being thrown in a plastic trash can in an 8' x 6' room for the reverberation effect. Recorded with a tascam dr-07 mkii handheld device at 16-bit 44. 1 khz.
A beat i programmed in caustic 2. 1 for my track caustic antics. This is a clean render. See break delay for this beat with a slight ping pong delay. Very little eq/processing so process away. Caustic 2. 1, the best music creation app for android.
The fully processed beat i used for my caustic 2. 1 track caustic antics. Very liitle eq but slight ping pong delay that fitted the track great. 124 bpm.
Another recording of slightly faster/more frequent waves lapping and crashing against a break water/wall with some quite a lot of spraying sound. Again, there is this stereo effect of the waves hitting from left to right. This would be a really good sound for any on boat/stormy sea needs.
This is a boomy break beat i made at 102bpm. It utilises a variety of individual free percussive hits, sequenced in free tracker program, jeskola buzz.
