Posted by Asbjoern Andersen in New sound effects libraries


This week we have dark ambiences from alien worlds, wind turbines that whirl and whine, energy sounds for all your video game needs, Macs that are old enough to rent a car, and creepy old washers that sound like torture devices.
Laundry Mangles
 
  • Industrial Ambiences Laundry Mangles Play Track 200+ sounds included, 110 mins total $29

    Laundry Mangles is a library full of sounds from vintage machines that once where used in many public washhouses. In some locations they are in use even today.

    Basically, the weight of a huge box filled with stones was used to press big pieces of linen, bed sheets or towels wound on rollers below. Early models were operated by hand which was very exhausting and soon the machines were equipped with electric motors and belt drives.

    This library delivers sounds from 5 different models of various ages that are operated with a crank shaft or electrical belt drive. All machines have been extensively recorded so that any imaginable perspective and operational state is covered. This includes full runs with belt drive and crank shaft, protective grating handlings, idling motors and much more.

Detunized has released yet another interesting and unique sound library from a device that you'd have a hard time finding and an even harder time thinking to record in the first place. 'Laundry Mangles' is a collection of sounds from vintage laundry mills that look more like torture devices. These machines creak, pound, whirl, and spin with their wood and metal crank shafts and belt drives as they run through their full cycles, idling and more. This two-hour library even contains the sounds of five different models — who knew five even existed! For the sounds of early human innovation for solely human needs, check out this library.

    The content has been recorded at 192KHz with a Sanken CO100K plus a Sennheiser 8050 for center image and a couple of Sennheiser MKH8040 for stereo image.
    Part of the cheats section of the library features samples recorded at 384KHz. For these sounds an additional microphone was employed, specifically the CMPA by Avisoft-Bioacoustics which records up to 200 KHz. This microphone was used to record most of the library but the 384KHz format was preserved only where energy was found beyond 96KHz not to occupy unnecessary disk space.
    All files are delivered as stereo bounce of these for mics, though in some instances an additional couple of CO100K was added to the sides.
    The resulting ultrasonic spectrum is rich and allows for truly extreme manipulation of the content.

    Bonus: Two extra libraries included for free:
