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).
