Free Sound Of The Week 03
Free Sound Of The Week is a new weekly series here on AGZ, once a week I’m going to share a couple sound samples I’ve recorded or created and manipulated.
These samples are short hits on a disposable aluminum tray. Doesn’t seem too useful at first, but try dropping them into a step sequencer and making random patterns. Distort them, add FX, go nuts!
Some example loops (what I came up with in 2 minutes) MP3s are below. Download all 12 16bit, 44.1kHz Wav files here: Free Sound 03 RAR
Example loop 1

Example loop 2

Example loop 3

I hope you like these and find them useful. If you do find them useful let me know.
More samples next week!

Jon, these are awesome! Did you just record these around the house and then process them? These loops would have fit really well in the game “inFamous” that was scored by Amon Tobin, among others. Looking forward to your next free sound post.

These are definitely cool.

no processing was done on the samples, just in my examples.

Nice stuff. What do you use to put together the loops? That’s probably what keeps me from experimenting weird songs more – no quick way to assimilate them into a rhythmic pattern.

With Pro Tools the quickest way would be using Transfuser. PT lacks some creative tools like a step sequencer unfortunately.
Could also use Battery, drop them all into different cells, then just make random shapes in the MIDI editor.
I used FL Studio for the examples.
I bet Nick has a quick way in Ableton.
