House air compressor sample

Post by Dan13LP » Thu Dec 22, 2011 12:16 am

Ok, so I've been working on a house track lately, and am looking for a sample for the drop. Specifically the one you hear in house music that sounds like compressor air being let out of a tank. Does anyone have a link, or know where I could download such a sample.

Thanks,
-Dan

Do you just need the air being released of the sound of the compressor working as well?

Just the sound of air being release. Not so much with some compressor type machinery running the thing. Think of a big tank of like CO2/NO2/helium/etc..., the sound of the gas/air releasing from the tank is what I'm going for. You hear it in a lot of house drops.

Check your PMs.

Hopefully that's what you're looking for. I recorded that from a 10' tall compressor from the 1960s. VP88 -> HD-P2 @ 24bit/48kHz.
Just use it in your musical productions, and don't sell it as a sample. :P

p.s. Cut the first 200ms off for more of just the noise.

I would use white noise + sidechain...

basically this, any synth with a noise oscillator plus a filter sweep and you're set, or, if you really want to use samples, download the white noise wav from this site:
http://www.dogstar.dantimax.dk/testwavs/
and then use an auto filter to sweep the frequency, try boosting the resonance a bit while you do so. Just don't try to find a sample of filter swept white noise, that's pure laziness, and an unnecessary surrender of control over the effect.
