Ever since recording some sounds a few years ago, I’ve been meaning to take the trusty Zoom H2 for another round. I finally took the time to capture another batch of ordinary, and perhaps some less ordinary sounds.
sound recordings vol 2 was recorded with the Zoom H2, a budget priced pocket recorderFor Rekkerd Sound Recordings Vol. 2 I found a number of interesting objects to hit, drop, slide, slam, press, etc. After a good amount of editing the pack ended up containing 90 samples. Various noises produced by light switches, fans, drawers, and lots more included.
The samples are in 24-bit/44kHz WAV format. Plenty of background noise is included, and those with a good ear might spot one of my kids in some of the recordings. 100% high quality lo-fi!
So why did I record these sounds? Well, I personally love to create rhythms/percussions with unusual sounds so I figure I’m not the only one.
Also included in the pack is a number of such loops that I did exclusively using the recorded sounds and a bunch of processing. You can listen to those loops below.

These sounds are great – very inspiring, thanks! I finally got round to uploading a track I did with percussion just from this sample pack (made into a Battery kit). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KhYP485FKo

thanks man. i used to record with minidisc, and pick up all kinds of mechanical chatter. i love my H2, very low noise, good value. captures detailed ambiance like an audio microscope. plus it looks like a startrek gadget. now whats the next generation?… H2n even awesomer!
Thank you :D These will be put to great use now in my tracks :) always looking for new interesting quirky sounds to use
