Szymon did a preliminary crash sound, which I thought I’d try to beef up. I wanted to add a skidding sound before the impact. Szymon’s impact sound is really good and I didn’t want to take away from that. I have a mental cabinet that creates quite a bassy slam which I thought could make quite a good trailing off sound after the impact. I recorded the cabinet, along with my blinds and my double bass to try and get some material worth playing around with.
I recorded some squeeks to pitch up on my Double Bass also,
I wasn’t entirely happy with the sound of the screeching on the double bass. I layered a few on top of each other. The blinds usually have more of a tone to them than they did when I tried recording. They weren’t as screechy as I had hoped. I was hoping the blend of something screechy with the double bass’ tonality would work. I tried wet rubber on certain woods in my house but they were all laminate. I experimented with windows which was not course enough of a sound.
The trail off metal door worked quite nicely but felt it needed padding out with glass sounds. I didn’t feel comfortable smashing glass so decided to bulk it out with a royalty free glass smash.
I am going to speak with the others and see if they are happy with using it as we had intended to not use samples.
