Walking around a small wood-floored room with heavy boots. Recorded with a akg c414 b-uls for the oxford theatre guild's production of a government inspector, 2012.
In this field-recording you hear someone (well, me) walking through snow. You hear the typical crunchy sound of snow and the leather boots squeak too. Since i have little knowledge about improving field-recordings i uploaded the files as they were, only cut off the switching on and off of the recorder (zoom h2n).
Walking on snow, boots, at around -12 degrees celsius. At first on hard snow on the road, then turning onto soft snow, then back onto the hard one again.
A recording of the audible beep the modem makes on a pc when booting. I literally had to hold a microphone up to the motherboard's modem so it's not a very good quality recording.
This is a recording of me walking through a flooded farmer's field in summer, with heavy rain boots. You can hear my boots slapping against the water, and some brushing sounds of my clothing against the tall grass.
Recorded and processed at 24bit 48khz using the tascam dr-40 linear pcm recorder. Processing: gain-staging and soft high and low frequency filtering. No eq boost or cuts anywhere else. Also de-noised.
Snowy path with crunchy crust, you approach the hen house. They approach you eagerly, anticipating some sort of edible gift. There is no gift. The hens slowly realize the reality of their situation and return to their scavenging. You produce a deep clucking bellow -- one last attempt to reach them. But it's too late, the hens pay you no mind. It is time to go.
This is a brief recording of hiking boots on small to medium loose rocks on a mountain fire road. May be good for a podcast as a background sound effect.
Old compaq presario computer from 2003 booting up, then searching the hard drive. Recorded from the inside of the computer case behind the hard drives. With motorola xt1095.
More walking on metal stairs in a reverberant concrete stairwell. Slower than the first one, with more variety of movement. Recorded with: sanken cs-1e, fostex fr2le.
This is a sequence i created for my podcast. It is a male running through a crazy maze. Sounds used are breathing, running, chains, whistle, explosion, fall and a spat. I have a version with train noise in the background.
