This sample pack contains over five hundred individual tool sounds. There are plasma cutters, chainsaws, lawnmowers, hand tools and many, many others. These sounds were recorded in machine shops, garages, sculpture studios and outdoors. The recordings will fit seamlessly into sound design sessions for visual media. Many of the sounds also contain a multitude of potential for rhythmic and tonal applications. The warbling vibrato of a japanese handsaw or the echoing boom of hitting rebar on a large metallic sculpture, for example, are ripe for processing and music making. All sounds were recorded with a stereo pair of Neuman KM184s into a Sound Devices recorder.
