10 bucks for a small one at the store, 40 for the ECHOMASTER 3000 that has a horn longer than my cock (like 10 inches)

for our hiphopbeats we record sund ourselves all the time

ur last beat had pieces of melody of disney's 'pluto de olympische atleet' lol Big Grin

We just put ur mic to the television played the movie and recorded the melody Big Grin

chopped it up and made a beat from it. Being busy with music that way gives me a lot of satisfaction Smile

Also noises of wooden balks falling on top of eachother, the overdriven sound f a dor being clsed. glass breaking, a spine cracking by recording the sound of a chipspack being crumpled up. Big Grin

I find real-recorded noises make tracks have a natiral sense and better flow.

You must certainly do so, and also the cymbals. A good snare sounds so much better when you hear it from the real thing than a sample does. Also, when you are recording, hit the drums in several ways and record all of them: hard kick, medium kick, soft kick, etc. And offcourse... Post the samplepack here afterwards!

Its such a laugh sampling stuff. I did one tune with a sample of me sharpening a carving knife, and also stabbing a joint of beef with it. Was a dark sorta tune so.....

Another one thats quite nice is dropping coins into a bowl of lots of coins.

I also did a tune once made entirely from samples of farts, quite childish I know but it sounded so cool, a fart through a granulizer sounds so brutal!

Damn Lions, Give em a slap.

I just got myself a really nice digital dictophone. Records really good quality, been going round recording samples of loads of things. I'd recomend it to anyone.

I took some samples of train lines for tune Im working on ATM, sounds cool.

For the best results, make friends with a drummer! *lol* Part of my standard contract for my recording studio includes a clause that allows me to sample anything I record/produce/mix, but I only use it for drums. Recording a band's warm-ups can be a gold mine.

Though, when I was in an industrial band, we used to go to junk yards and bang on shit with other shit... one of our most "popular" songs was based on us banging on a burnt-out VW bug with metal bars. And trash cans are great too, though I've never tried hitting a plastic one. Roll Eyes

I've also snuck tape recorders into a hippie drum circle that meets at a local coffee shop, that yielded a whole library's worth of tribal sounds.

Nothing's more l33t than guerilla sampling. Cool

...

WHY DID MY COMPUTER HAVE TO DIE?! IT WAS ALL ON MY HARD DRIVE! *cries*

I have made decent snare sounds in REason using the white noice option on the Subtractor. You could even use a sample of white noise and cut the Release on the ADSR

I once recorded a clap of thunder with a minidisc player using the headphones as a mic. I made a whole kit out of that.

I also recorded the fireworks on millenium night. I took the bang from exactly midnight and made a kit from that too.
