The range of sounds captured by the Contact microphone S Library is nothing short of fascinating. From the gentle tapping of a wooden stick on an old glass vase to the powerful thud of hitting a metal door, each sound is recorded with exquisite detail. The use of a contact microphone allows for the capture of structure borne sound, providing a unique perspective on the vibrations and resonances present in each sound. Whether it's the airy hum of an air conditioner or the rattling decay of a metal oil tank being struck, these recordings offer a diverse array of textures and timbres for sound designers and enthusiasts to explore. To experience these sounds for yourself, you can play and download them from the Contact microphone S Library.
One particularly intriguing sound is the hissy suction alternative produced by dentistry contact mics. This unusual sound, with its distinct startup and wind-down, offers a glimpse into the world of dentistry procedures and equipment. The scraping sound of a metal plate against a wooden board, captured by a contact microphone, provides a sharp contrast to the smooth hiss of the dentistry contact mics. These disparate sounds, when placed side by side, create a dynamic audio landscape that draws the listener in and invites them to explore the textures and nuances of each recording.
The vibrating clothesline bars during an earthquake offer a visceral reminder of the power of nature and the fragility of man-made structures. The moving and vibrating contact microphone captures the chaotic energy of the earthquake, translating it into a haunting and evocative sound. Similarly, the pressure cooker with food boiling vibrations and turbulence conveys a sense of urgency and activity, as if the listener is right there in the kitchen, experiencing the cooking process firsthand. These sounds transport the listener to different spaces and times, allowing for a rich and immersive auditory experience.
The metallic friction and ratcheting vibrations of a metal cage being stroked with a steel rod creates a mesmerizing sound that is both eerie and enchanting. The strong resonating decay of the metal, captured by the contact microphone, adds depth and complexity to the recording, drawing the listener in and holding their attention. Similarly, the slow bowing of a metal ruler produces a metallic friction that is both captivating and soothing, providing a moment of respite amidst the chaos of the other sounds in the library. These recordings showcase the versatility of the contact microphone in capturing a wide range of sounds, from the mundane to the ethereal.
The dentist's drill, recorded from the perspective of the patient's tooth, offers a unique and intimate look at a common dental procedure. The scraping sound of the drill against the tooth, captured by the dentistry contact mics, creates a sense of tension and unease, highlighting the discomfort and anxiety often associated with dental visits. In contrast, the traditional standalone surdo drum offers a deep, resonant sound that is both powerful and invigorating. The impact of the drumstick against the drumhead, recorded by the contact microphone, reverberates with energy and vitality, showcasing the dynamic range of sounds captured in the library.
The MSI laptop with internal noise and humming looping creates a modern and futuristic sound that is both familiar and otherworldly.
