The window in my studio has an exceptionally long tail of the spring vibrating. I could see this with some effect thrown on being very useful in music or fx situations. Recorded with a zoom h6, stereo xy attachment with internal compression.
I thought i would see how many sounds i could get out of my sound buzz. Wav, so i took that click at the end, added reverb and slowed it down about -81 percent. Made with audacity.
It's a recording of sounds of an old store refridgerator. The recorder (zoom h2) was put into the fridge and door closed. You can here the varying tempo of the compressor working, it's a characteristic cound that leaves a mark in your mind (especially if you listen to it for a long time). Recorded with zoomh2 rear mics from inside of the fridge. Converted to flac using audacity.
Kitchen drawers: various sounds of opening and closing different kitchen drawers some with cutlery inside. Recorder: zoom h4n with the internal mic on 48khz with 24bit.
