I needed the sound of pouring / falling sand so i heavily edited this recording of gravel http://freesound. Org/people/lolamadeus/sounds/179341/ to make it sound a bit more like sand. Edited with audacity.
The sound of a sword being withdrawn (with some difficulty) from a sheath, and then accidentally being dropped and hitting the ground. Also sounds like metal scraping metal. Created by rubbing a scissors against a cheese knife. Recorded on an iphone for an adr/foley project (project on this clip: http://www. Youtube. Com/watch?v=7at4fugxtmg#t=8 ).
After hours of searching for the sound of a guitar hitting the ground, i resolved to just recording a quick piece. This is a small sized guitar hitting the ground a couple times on a carpeted floor (recorded in logic pro).
I needed a sound effect of a body being thrown into a river for a play. This is a recording of me falling backwards into a pool. Splash_1 is a little louder, and there is some clipping. Splash_2 is a bit longer. Recorded using internal mics of a zoom h2n.
The sound of water free falling off the edge of a flat roof. I opened the apartment balcony door and started recording. The fourth floor apartment is on the corner. The water was draining off the flat roof over the edge and falling directly from the roof to the ground. The recording equipment is a studio quality apex 460 multi pattern tube condensor microphone. It was located to avoid getting wet (!) and was about 90 degrees and six feet away from the sound source, just set in a few feet from the open balcony door.
