Rain Outside House

This is a test recording made with my Tascam FR-AV2 with a Rode NT4 Stereo Mic. There is minor traffic noise and rain on metal. It is not exactly clean; if you listen very closely, you can faintly make out some people talking, although you cannot really understand what they are saying. No need to credit me, but feel free to leave a comment on how you used the audio.

Metal Head

All the music on these tracks was written by me. All instruments were played by me as well. All you have to to is loop them and you'll have a great base rhythm for your projects or to just jam with. That's why I create these types of loops; they help me create full finished compositions. If you would like to check out my original music it is available here: The-Road-to-Oblivion-2

Ruiz_Ylona_2019_2020_handspinner_painting_metalpliers_version2

for this sound, I wanted to create a loop from a wave of the 'clap' of the spray paint. I played on the bass and then I duplicated the wave. Over the loop I added raw noise from my recordings. those of the handspinner, the spray paint and the metal clamp. I also added the modified sounds of my previous version. The ones where I played in particular on the distortion, the echo and the reverb
