Toys Breaking Sample collection now $10

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Attention
My collection of circuit bent toy samples is now $10.

What!? Why???
This is closer to the price it should have been from the start. Since it is a niche product I could have charged way more for it. I feel this is still a very fair price.
This price change does not affect previous purchases.

The details of the sample pack are here: http://www.audiogeekzine.com/toys-breaking-sample-cd/

@thinkgeek how do you guys get away with charging 66% for shipping? That can’t be right.
I’m liking a couple of short delays instead these days. RT @gmgranka: @sonicvalentine No reverb on vocal is a pretty rare suggestion.
@dmlandrum reverb is a ton more constant energy that I’m finding doesn’t help at all for vocals.
Screw public transit, it’s finally cold enough to take my Tauntaun to work.

Free Sound Of The Week 06

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

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.

This time I’m sharing some more samples of one of my circuitbent toys. This is a V-Tech Talking First Words toy, I modified it with a 1/4″ output jack and pitch control. I’ve included the 18 original sounds and 24 of twisting the pitch knob, I’ll post the rest of the set (54 more) another time.

42 Wav files – 16 bit, 48kHz - Download

Free Sound Of The Week 04

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

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.

This time I’m digging into the archives. What I’ve got this week is sounds from my circuit bent Speak & Math, from a few years ago. These are taken straight from my Toys Breaking library, if you like glitchy weird samples check that out.
