A classic movie punch sound recreated by hitting a leather car seat with a cricket bat. Recorded using a rode k2 tube mic and a schoeps cmc6, driving the preamps hard and compressing the input, then heavily compressing a number of takes using analog-emulation plugins (including a fairchild 660) and running the mix through waves maxxbass. Then limiting some more and finally adding the swoosh of a riding crop and a non-linear reverb noise tail.
Did this punching a shirt 4 times, and then rubbing the shirt with another 4 times. I found it great for torso and leg hits(first 4), and great for de-grappling moves and push aways(last 4).
Sound i created for a film i did the effects for though i'd share it with you guys. Its a sound designed for someone to get hit with a melee weapon. Created using punch sounds i've made with also a body fall. Hope you like.
A sound of me punching my table, mixed with the sound of one of the objects that happened to fall off during recording, makes a pretty impactful sound.
