Hiss and a Roar SD022 Mechanism WAV | 13.1 Gb

This library is a celebration of machine sounds: from a pneumatic blast furnace to a century old guillotine, workshop power tools, antique clockwork Meccano engines and a Mamod model steam engine, domestic hand tools, sewing machines, a tortured battery drill as well as more contemporary tools such as a CNC Router and a 3D printer.

Along with the unique rhythms of each machine, a range of performances have also been coerced from each – captured using extended range Sennheiser MKH80X0 mics as well as contact mics, and delivered as multitrack 24bit 96kHz .WAV files

Over three months research & recording has resulted in a huge 20.4GB library with over six hours of unique source material, delivered as 533 metadata enriched .WAV files. This library is a vast resource – please see the cue list below for props and microphone use per prop and also check out the making of video and preview excerpts to get an indication of the vast range & scope of material.
