I am cuting up parts of music to make sound effects. I am pretty sure this is driving my roommate crazy. I offered to use headphones... she said that it didn't matter, that she was way beyond the point of minding... I am not sure what that means so... here I go playing the same five seconds again....
Do you have adobe audition or a similar program? If you set up a computer to have that you can record right onto the computer... well you'd have to have a microphoe so I supose a recorder would be cheaper.
I wanted to get a surface mic and put it on the far end of a piece of metal while I cut it with a torch.
Grinders, sanders, drills, hot metal being cooled in water, grease gun....There is a lot I could do. Then I’d put them on my site for music people to download.
