Lamps, Pots, Vases (Free Samples)

[Mihai Sorohan]

Ever thought about how many sounds you have in your environment ? how many of daily usage objects can sound amazingly nice in a mix if you just take the chance to record/ sample and use ?
Just listen to this track:

The story get like this:
One day I was listening to Tonehammer's Propanium - a very nice sample bank for NI Kontakt of a metal based, tongue drum. (59$)
I loved it from the first note, but as I am short on money these days...
The solution come when my wife's desk lamp felt down... what a sound... mmm... why not sample it and make my own "lamp based instrument" ?

I see that pop stopper looks like it might be some of your wives hose or legging as well lol

Thats awesome man. We are working on getting our new house, and its going to have a great big studio in it for me to record some cool stuff like that. Right now i just have a makeshift on in a home office

[Mihai Sorohan]

Good luck with that new house, hope that studio will be awesome and we'll hear some good recordings out of that
