Here's a pretty lengthy recording of the bus i (currently) take home from school each day. (i'll hopefully be driving there as soon as i get my license. ) listen closely for ambient creaking, kids chit-chatting, and mild footsteps as the bus makes two stops (on this recording) on certain stops. Use this for your next short movie or any other project you're currently working on. Recorded via a zoom h4n.
Ambient sound of a garbage truck picking up bins, emptying them into the back of the truck, replacing the bins and moving on from house to house. Truck approaching from the left and leaving via the right.
Semi drives by on the highway. I tried to edit out some of the background noise, but you still hear a flag snapping in the wind a bit. However, if you layer this on top of some ambient highway noise, it shouldn't be noiticeable.
Record of the machine destroying rocks to do gravel and sand. It' s interesting to listen to the 5 other members of the pack. They're all confined in the same geottaged area, the quarry on river sabac near belgrade serbia. Recorded with schoeps m/s mikes during the shooting of nicolas wagnières's movie "tranzit". Converted to l/r.
A mediocre recording of the nyc subway, with the robot announcer saying "stand clear of the closing doors". I am releasing this sample into public domain, ignore the cc license.
I took my snare drum into the wonderfully echoey parking garage of my building to record the reverb. Included are samples recorded from varying distances and positions. Also included are dry versions, recorded in a living room and a super-dry elevator. When used in a production, try mixing in the heavily reverbed snares against the dry ones to fit your taste. Also the reverb snares work well mixed under even unrelated percussions to add a neat ambiance. The same goes for my "stairwell foot stomps" sample set. Recorded 24-bit stereo with a sony pcm-d50. Assisted by matt mcgowin.
Sound of a roll-up garage door opening. The garage is a standard glass roll-up door. Recorded with a tascam dr-1 with a wind filter. No post-production work was done to the file.
These field-recordings were captured for a radioplay. You can hear various moves (where possible described in german in the filename). The files are recorded in m/s-stereophony, so you have the m-signal on the left channel, the side-information on the right.
This is a short loop i made with a cassette tape head as a pickup on a single guitar string across a plank of wood and played with a plastic fishing discorger like a hammered dulcimer. Fed through my nux mfx-10 effects pedal into a boss loopstation and then recorded into reaper.
