Crashing waves and wind recorded from a 40 foot clifftop using a tascam dr-05. I had a wind muffler over the mikes and the recording is left open without fade for your own editing. Enjoy.
Ice cubes being poured from a stainless steel cocktail mixer into a tumbler style glass recorded with a sterling audio st51 condenser microphone a few feet away.
Skates on ice: here is a very specific sound effect. The metallic slash through ice when it is being skated on. There are multiple variations of this in this track due to the amount of contact the blade of the skate has to the ice and also the force being put into the movement. It is a sharp and cold sound. Recorded with the zoom h6, rode ntg.
Wrinkled a plastic bag (home to rubber bands, who played no part in this recording) on my desk to try to make an ice freezing sound. Instead it sounds like stepping on cracking ice.
Just some random skate sounds made with different parts of the blade. Some deep edges, scrapes, scratches, skids, toe picks, stamps etc. . . Solo skating in an empty rink.
Ice rink skating in februari 2012 on a sunny day. Multiple recordings of skaters passing by. Unexperienced children as well as semi-pros can be heard passing by from right to left. Recorded in annen, the netherlands with a zoom h2 recorder.
Little spot of ice on a street, in a village in italysimply walking on it to record the sound of ice-crackingfeel free to use this sound if you like itbyef.
The sea was fairly choppy/rough and this is a recording of the waves crashing against a break water/wall with some occasional spraying sounds. Theres a great stereo effect of the waves hitting from left to right. Could be a good sound for any on boat/stormy sea needs.
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.
Ice carving, recorded at the icehotel in jukkasjärvi, sweden (http://icehotel. Com/) with tascam dat recorder and rode nt4 microphone. 44,1k/16b, 25sec.
Sound i made with knives. Used abletons simpler to load in a few knife scrapes then hit the reverse button them and played a note. Mic used - akg c1000.
Simulation of a heavy object being dragged or pushed across the ice. Effect was created by dragging a small block of wood across a tolex covered surface, overlaid with sound of fingernail dragging across the bottom of an empty, but icy ice cube tray. Recorded with an sm57 dynamic mic.
Recording of a self-serve soda fountain. Begins with ice falling into a cup followed by the drink filling up from a carbonated nozzle. Recorded in the east village commons dining hall at the university of georgia using a roland r-09.
Ice skating ambience: here you can hear the echo-induced atmosphere created by cold ice. The laughter and chatter of people reflect against the walls of this big hall. You can hear the slashing of ice and the swoosh of people racing against each other. An upbeat music can be heard further enforcing joy. Recorded with the zoom h6, rode ntg. This is a great sound to create a joyful atmosphere.
This is exactly what you think. An ice cream truck sat idle a few doors down from me and i got two runs of the song it plays before people came out or a car went by. The song is pretty clean.
A delicate tinkling of ice recorded on a behringer ultravoice mic from tilting a plastic container of frozen turkey broth i took out of the freezer. Apparently a small number of free floating ice crystals were hitting a layer of frozen crystals on the lid, resulting in this remarkably musical sound. Please feel free to use as you like!.
