Amber Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I need to find some decent samples of a gear shifting sound on a bicycle to use as a percussion instrument. Think atonement with the typewriter. Are there any plugins etc with this sort of thing? Or sample sets that include sounds like this? I don't have a bike or have any friends with bikes locally to record it. Also, I'm going to have to load these sample into something and play them on my keyboard somehow. What's the best way? Load it into Logic's sampler or maybe something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjamus Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hi Amber. If you have a Bicykleshop nearby where you live I'd try to ask if it was possible to do som recordings in there using a portable recorder (MD, Zoom H4, Microtrack etc...). Otherwise there is the sounddesign route using Logics vast arsenal of synths. Give it a go and let us know how you did. Best, Sjamus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwackman Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 If you google "Sound effects library" or "Sound FX library" you should find some sites with a huge selection of FX. Some free, some not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben parsons Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 i sampled one of my bikes a while back. it's not shifting, but it's pedaling and you can hear the freewheel click as it coasts. if you're interested i can send them to you. PM me if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
