Two muted elevator floor bells and doors slide open. Wide ambiance. The weirdness at the beginning is the natural beginning provided when recording with an ipod. Griffin italk mic.
After spending a weekend putting together a giant wardrobe (from everyones favourite swedish furniture store) for my girlfriend i thought i should reward myself by making some recordings of it. This is a close mic recording of the sliding door, i followed the top of the door (where there was the most interesting sound) the full length of the wardrobe as i opened/closed the door. For this recording i used my sennheiser mkh416 going into a sound devices mp-1 preamp and recorded to a tascam dr-680.
A slide whistle sound, classically used for falling effects in cartoons. Also good for droops and drooping. For the british sound connoisseur, it was used for comedy/innuedo effect in the "carry on" films. Recorded with a zoom h4n and shotgun mic.
Opening and closing a large sliding garage type door at the loading dock to the building my studio is in. Recorded with a shure sm7b by running 100ft of xlr cables down the hall from studio to door.
A person slides around a carpet on their belly, making slithery sliding noises. Recorded with an h1 zoom (originally for the purposes of helping to build up foley of snake slithering).
Sliding, opening, and generally rustling a medium sized cardboard box. Recorded from within. Recorded on a tascam dr-40 for my own use but hopefully someone else finds it useful as well!.
