<p>Mine is not one i use very often, I've used it (not always the same take) around 5 or 6 times, but i like knowing its around. And come to think of it, i've recorded in my first ever field recording session!</p> <p>It was at a friends jewelry workshop, the sound of melting silver being cooled in warm sulfuric acid. It sounds pretty much like a volcanic spaceshuttle toilet flush. </p>

<p>For that kind of stuff, i usually just cut the file in half and put the second part on(in?) a adjacent track , cut them both to be the same length and drag them to a stereo track. You have to be careful when the material has rhythmic patterns to it, other than that, its fast and it works.</p>

<p>IS that to record ambiences or spot effects? If its for ambiences i'd put them back to back (180º) like 3" appart I've tried it after Charles Maynes suggested it in a forum thread and liked it to.</p> <p>I like your idea though, should try it soon.</p>

<p>Sennheiser MKH50 i'd say, from the looks of the suspension and size, the mic body also seems to widen close to the capsule.</p> <p>Because they sound great in interiors and at that distance</p>

<p>So "cute sounds are hard to make" others usually say, and i'm now finding that out first hand.</p> <p>How do you guys go about this? I'm working on a small video game, with fluffy psycho bunnies, and i'm having a hard time making things like electricity bolts and fireballs sound cute, can you guys think of examples for inspiration? I was only able to think of Zelda, wind waker, but even there, they're a bit to realistic.</p> <p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Hi folks</p> <p>These last few days i've been editing sounds i've recorded during sailing trips. I've sailed all of my life (including my life as a fetus haha) and not once i got sea sick, but when i got to a file recorded during a particularly turbulent day, a stereo recording of an interior perspective from the cabin, i got REALLY sea sick! as in my stomach wanting to get out....</p> <p>Do you have similar experiences, of something that doesn't affect you at all while they're happening, but affect you deeply, when you're exposed to sounds or images?</p>

<p>I never did anything like that, but at <a href="http://www.harvestworks.org/" rel="nofollow">the place i worked at for a while in new york</a>, Adam Rokhsar did a lot of cool stuff like that. My favorite was when he played a picture as audio and captured that from the other side of the room and translated the result back to picture. Really cool and unpredictable results. That was done with Max/MSP You can check some of his stuff at: <a href="http://makeyourselftransparent.tumblr.com/" rel="nofollow">http://makeyourselftransparent.tumblr.com/</a> </p> <p>I can put you in touch with him if you want.</p>

<p>I can think of the opening scene from Gaspar Noe's "Irreversible"... I'm sooo never watching that movie again! (not that i didn't like it, just way to much) And Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's "Amores Perros" gets really intense/uncomfortable sound wise to on the dog fight scenes</p>

<p>The easiest way for me is to make a selection on the region i want to eq, then use Preview mode, do the eq i want and capture, then write to all</p> <p>Alternatively, to make a selection on the region i want to eq and loop play it with the automation in write mode and tweak until it sounds like i want it to. just dont forget to put the track back to read mode if you don't have the switch to latch after automation pass activated on the preferences.</p>
