Specifically recorded with processing in mind, this free pack represents some examples of how contact mics can be used to create a variety of sound design elements - from stingers to impacts, drones, and more. Design your own sounds from the raw recordings included, or use the pre-built elements created with Reaktor and an array of professional sound design plugins.
Contact microphones yield some of the most unique recordings of any type of mic. The Lom Geofon is no exception, made in limited batches and is one of the best contact mics for the price.
These recordings were made using heavy springs on a Pilates reformer, with the mic magnetically attached to the metal tension rod under the carriage. They resemble the sonic character of the classic "slinky" recordings that were popularized as lasers in various science fiction films.
