A large handful of spuds being poured onto a table; a tumbling sound for when you need a series of soft thuds without high transients. Or for when you specifically need potatoes dropping onto a table like i did.
Plastic dice (1) rolling on a piece of paper on a wooden table (to simulate a carton board). Recorded with a se electronics se1 cardioid mic into motu 828mk2 interface, 48khz, pointing at the source, around 30cm away. Small, slightly treated room with reflective walls.
Decided to smash some older, almost broken already furniture we had lying around our shop for a production that we were doing. The table was weak, didn't give much in the way of sound, but here it is.
A normal sized table-tennis ball was dropped from a moderate height and then recorded with a zoom h6 recorder, using the xy capsule, till it no longer bounced.
Scratching various surfaces with fingers, recorded with a roland r-26. Let me know if you need 4 channels (from directional and omnidirectional mics), this is a stereo mix of both.
The sound of a playstation 2 system starting up and idling , hardware only. Recorded with a marantz pmd661 and exported as a. Wav through adobe audition after normalization.
This is the sound of the broken fan at the bathroom in my friends house. It sounds a lot like a cricket, but i can assure you it’s a machine- once again this was straight off my phone so sorry if the quality is pretty bad. I hope this can still be of use to you. You don’t need permission but i would like to know if anyone does use it, just for the sake of curiousity :).
A recording of a super fast hand dryer at a service station in the uk. Adjusted to reduce over loud volume and converted from wma to wav in adobe soundbooth.
This is a simulated aircraft flyover made from a tablefan and some processing. This is my first sound effect. It is normalized and should be mixed quite low for a believable effect.
Recording near a computer fan and hard drive. Not great quality recording. I had placed the mic right where all the air was blowing. Sounds best on lower volumes.
Interiour fan on defrost, 2003 hyundai elantra. 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).
My window air-conditioner on the fan setting. Fan turns on for a few secs and shuts off. Recorded on yeti usb microphone on the stereo setting. Microphone was placed about 6 inches from the unit, right below the top vents where the air comes out. Some very low frequency rumble was attenuated slightly.
Mac ibook g3's cdrom working and producing various sound including some air noise from the spinning cd. Recorded very close to the cdrom with rode nt1000 condensor microphone through tlaudio fat2 tube preamp through rme hammerfall dsp audio interface.
