I am looking for two specific things to have a little fun with.

1st-a free vst arpeggiator. Just looking to have a bit of this flair in a few projects I'm working on.

2nd-A source for those late 80's early 90's percussion sounds that were called "air wrench" or "air hits" at one point. I'm sure they were called other things as well.

Examples are in this song (and MANY others)

Air Wrench

Any help greatly appreciated! smile

Carron, google/bing free vst arpeggiator and you will find a lot of them. I have no practical experience with any of them but you should find one that will enhance your workflow.

I can't really help with the "air hits" but it may be tuned claves with some sort of reverb on them.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Google search for the wave file...special effects air wrench free file.....

Trust me, someone somewhere has recorded one and has it posted.

When I did my tune with the reved up engine in it, I searched "free reved car"

Hey Mario, thanks for the reply. I did that initially, BUT always prefer to ask here first to avoid d/ling something harmful.

I'm getting close to remembering what drum machine had them, but don't off hand. I may have to do as you suggested and "build" it.

Thanks Mario!

I started there, and found many of them. But they aren't the electric drum kind from that era. They are literal air wrenches, which I may have to mold into what I need.

I wish they wouldn't have named the electronic effect the same as an actual tool!

It's pretty amazing what's out there. I actually had a client that wanted some "sensual moans" and I found them. I had to make sure my kids were nowhere in earshot as some of them were WAY over the top! eek Not the ones I used, but some of the samples as I was searching.

Thanks Herb!

Well I played around a little bit and figure out how to pretty much make the air wrench sound I was looking for.

My Attempt at Air Wrench Sound

Now onto Van Halen...lol. Nice!

Working on the arpeggiator next.

HTL,

I have to admit, my first thought was to suggest you visit an automotive tire changing shop with a digital recorder in hand.

What kind of an answer do you expect when you ask a good ol' southern boy raised in the middle of NASCAR land a question like that? grin

I would expect none other!

It always bothered me "back in the day" that they termed it that on the modules. It was NOT by any means the first thing I thought of when I heard it.

After a bit of listening to the sound, I was a bit more like "Um...ok, I sort of see it" never thinking years (decades) I may need to find the sound...and use the term!

Thanks for the reply! I got a good smile out of it!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
