The apple plaintalk microphone jack used on some older macintosh systems is designed to accept an extended 3. 5 mm three-conductor phone connector; in this case, the tip carries power for a preamplifier inside the microphone. The sound a rather fast repeating beat i made using an apple plaintalk microphone in a rather modern windows laptop using audacity. I messed around with the jack, and took out all the silent parts.
Sample created during my work with a submission to one sample dare challenge #54 (www. Ambientonline. Org). The resulting submission become rather minimal in the end… #fail?.
Church bells recordet in liguria (italy) on a tape recorder in the early 1980th, pitched down and processed in order to achieve a rather dark, spooky sound.
An mp3 rather discreet recording of a person lifting dumbbells in a work-out, grunting with effort, weights clinking together. Recorded with a black sony digital ic voice recorder.
A single cricket lived in one of my air conditioning vents. It seemed a rather sad thing. Apologies for the noise floor! recorded with a tascam dr-40x.
A retro-arcade style spaceship blaster sound effect (works best on emulating 16-bit arcade games rather than 8-bit because of the higher sound quality).
Just after 9 pm (ht), a large flock of quacking ducks passes by my bathroom window in the rather dry riverbed. I recorded them with my lenovo laptop's built-in microphone.
Bird song recorded in my back yard. Mostly a texture of birds chattering rather than any single distinct bird. Includes moderate background noise from distant traffic.
A recording that sounds like two people laughing with a rather creepy vibe. They have a slight pitch difference. It's actually a recording of me laughing, doubled and changed pitch.
A great sound that i produced in audacity using the wah wah effect after using white noise. It sounds rather like a windy and stormy wind approaching!.
Rather cluttered sound of a kitchen door being closed. Probably a bag full of recyclable aluminum and steel cans hanging on the doorknob when the door was shut.
I made this to create sounds of bats (with lots of editing), but it rather sounds like hitting a pig (the first part). I'm curious what you will manage to use it for :).
Field recording in stereo of raindrops falling a rather fast pace into a tin can, as i hold the can closer to the source, the drops are pitching higher and higher.
Driving in a 2005 toyota prius with a thumping noise audible at some times. The thumping noise does not come from the road, but rather from the car itself.
My, rather extreme, attempt at creating a super-square sound on the d50. Only single notes played and, as always, no external effects and direct recording without overdubs (stereo 16 bit, 44. 1 khz).
Field recording of rain with thunder now and then. Birds chirp away in the background. It's a rather long recording, so there may be some unwanted sounds here and there.
I have some rather unfortunate news for you: i cannot remember how i made this or what i made it from. I hop it doesn't matter to you too much. Made with audacity.
A rather simple sound i created for a game. It indicates to the player when they hover over a button or part of the interface. I believe this sound would fit in any kind of game.
A rather bass-heavy 18 second 160 bpm looping sample, with the usual pile of synth garbage on top. Created in fl studio, making use of the toxic biohazard plugin.
The rather elusive razor waveform, as it is commonly called due to its peculiar shape, from the commodore 64's sid chip, acheivable only by activating the outputs of any two waveforms on the oscillator section.
Recorded during the tail end of a rather large rainstorm. The birds go nuts whenever it rains, so they were out in full force! recorded with a tascam dr-07 mk. Ii microphone.
Old mechanical door bell, not in best condition. Rattles while the switch is closed (whether it's designed to do that i don't know) and clicks rather loudly on the low bell. Not much decay.
I found a lonesome party popper in my garage - recorded it wrongly sorry! should have shot it away from the mic rather than at it - get a big rush of air!. Sony minidisc.
The rather loud trill of cicadas, their song rising and falling. Recorded with no human noise pollution on a swamp road, midmorning in the middle of summer in the american south.
Rather ambient bang into a can which sounds like a thick seed husk shot into a spittoon but is more likely a n aluminum knife or something striking a typical one pound bean can.
A passanger train crossing road near jerusalem , israel. The train is only 3 cars long , so the passing itself is rather short. Recorded with at822 mic , fr2le recorder , and edited with protools le.
A record of me chuckling or giggling. It's rather calm, maybe kind of creepy and could be used for conversation, fake giggling or creepy little horror movie voices in the dark if modified. Feel free to use it! *chuckles*.
A cup of water being gargled, slurped, gulped (while the microphone was placed on my neck), and swallowed. Some rather unpleasant gagging and heavy breathing noises are also present on the recording due to my accidentally breathing some water while recording!.
I was walking through a local church venue during a large refurbishment project and realised the noise my footsteps were making was rather neat. Recorded on an iphone. . . It's all i had at the time!.
The road noise from a fiat ducato campervan on state highway 94 near mount hamilton. New zealands roads are rather gnarly with the gravel protruding from the tar. Hence the high noise.
Recording foley is great. I'm still rather new to it but i really like doing it. Here's a holster foley i recorded with h4n pro in my room with a cowboy holster and a 357. Hope you enjoy.
A recording that sounds like two people laughing with a rather creepy vibe. One of the voices is high-pitched (like that of a child), the other middle-pitched. It's actually a recording of me laughing, doubled, changed pitch and alternated start.
I'm surprised i never uploaded this, i recorded it like a year ago. Anyway, this is from a rather old, second hand music box that is missing the ballerina. I'm not sure what tune it is, so if anyone knows, tell me.
Strange radio interference picked up between radio channels at 3am one morning. (i'm reasonably sure this some sort of strange em phenomenon rather than someone else's composition being broadcast; if i am wrong, i will be happy to take it down. ).
A strange lighter that looks like a zippo, but uses gas and is activated by a button, rather than using lighter fluid. Inherited from my father. *no credit is needed, but would love it if you shared your creation, should you use this sound!.
This ambience sounds uncanny and rather other-worldly, like it was recorded in some unknown alien planet. Perfect for setting up creepy and intense moments in any of your horror media.
A raw audio mp3 recording of two actual swords crashing together; the sound is almost like a bell. The only background sound is a rather noisy clock, which can be taken out. Recorded with a black sony ic digital voice recorder.
