Product Description
Metal Springs is 444 MB of metal spring sound effects. 662 individual sounds in 78 separate files – recorded in 24bit/96kHz. All sounds are UCS-compatible.
Metal Springs is a collection of spring sounds that don’t just go twang, but explores many other sounds that can be coaxed from these flexible steel wonders.
I recorded a selection of small steel springs pulled from various mechanical and electronic devices, ending up with many sounds that could be used in a variety of sound designs. Whether you want to add some extra authenticity to button presses, operating small office machines, or add a little comedy to any kind of malfunctioning technology, you will find something useful here.
Any time I use a machine or some piece of equipment, and hear a spring-like sound, I feel like I have gained a little more knowledge about the internal workings of that machine or equipment. Spring sounds, or their absence, can also be indicate quality and age of an object. You wouldn’t expect to hear them from a very high-tech console in a super-villains lair, but it wouldn’t be out of place in the movements of a worn down droid.
With 662 sounds in 78 files, most sounds come in multiple variations or takes, adding some life and realism in those situations when you need to play a sound repeatedly.
