    Several locations were recorded, amongst it a a food manufacturer, a vinyl pressing plant, a cogeneration unit, a water pumpstation, a water treatment plant, steelworks and a machinery builder. Aditional sounds have been recorded around other industrial sites.

    For most machines, I used a multi-mic setup with a stereo (ab or ortf) unit, and several spot mics (incl. contact mics), which you can use as a construction library to mix to your own taste. For some machines, premixed files are included in a addition to the single layers.

    From the rattle of an assembly lines, to whistle of all kind of engines , deafening scream of giant units, distant chatter and walla of workers, hydraulic and pneumatic hisses and movements, stamping of metal parts as well as welding, brushing, giant metal saws, polishing, wet round grinding, milling, pounding compressors, noisy heating units, bubbling testing stations and many more machinery sounds all in big reverberant spaces as well as from dry close up (as far as inside) carefully chosen spots of machineries singled out, this library offers a broad range of sounds.

    The machines have been recorded in long continous ambiences as well as starting and stopping sounds, where possible.
