My grandma recently gifted me a music box that was given to her by her mother, but it unfortunately doesn't work right anymore. It starts and stops unnaturally and can't make a loop, it requires constantly turning the wind-up mechanism to continue playing. This is the 1st of 2 recordings of me trying to get it to play.
I used audacity to record this sound with no editing. I used turtle beaches x12 to record. The sound was from an old antique wind-up toy mechanism (music box) that was made in japan. I covered the metal with my finger to change tone of the song. The song played on the music box was called "close to you". Reminds me the simpsons movie. -check me out on youtube "gamingninjataco": https://www. Youtube. Com/channel/ucgtmxqssht0xzv0riousz_a.
Used dsk music box, processed with some lofi vst fx and reverb. The midi sequence was aided by randomization of notes. #randomization #musicbox #eerie.
One note from an antique wind-up toy. Recorded with a relatively low-quality mic at a close distance; you can hear the machine of the music box churning and some faint ambient humming.

Music box revolved on a 12" x 12" ceramic tile. Edited with audacity. Recorded on shock-mounted zoom h1 mic, record level 62, autogain off, gain low. Record location, inside a car in a single garage (great sound room).
About 15 seconds from a music-box right after winding it up all the way, so the notes are faster and a bit crisper then in my other samples. The melody is somewhat blurred due to the item's age, but it sounds like silent night.
