I Made An EDM Banger Out Of A Failing Hard Drive

[@EliminateHQ]

i accidentally left the tiktok of the cat on screen from 2:19-2:37, i almost went back to delete and reupload the video but i think its better i just let it be

As someone that has spent the last 20 years of my life working in IT, the sounds that HDD made...hurt. Godspeed little WD Blue, Godspeed. o7

[@DigitalJedi]

Was gonna say. I felt that one deep in my soul.

[@novaflame4812]

not an IT worker, but rather someone who has a WD blue, I can sorta feel that pain, but ngl, that little drive made the sickest house beats here.

[@blueburger4]

Was about to comment this. I've been in IT for about 10 years now and I've NEVER heard one that sounds THIS bad.😂 the platters gotta look like a well used ps2 game by now

[@novaflame4812]

@@blueburger4 no doubt there xD, or worse, an Xbox 360 disk after the laser melted it, I legit had a 360 do that to my copy of blue dragon, I was NOT happy, but yeesh, that poor hard drive's seen better days.

As someone who has worked in IT and computing nearly my entire life, I've NEVER heard a hard drive make this sound. BUT I sure as shit do not doubt that this is within their vocal... range? Considering it's a 160GB HDD my guess is it's old as fuck and like died a long time ago.

[@somnium291]

common computer L

[@sihamhamda47]

Most likely because of actuator head crashing to the spinning plate inside the hard drive. It could be caused by external impacts such as falling or exposed to strong vibration for too long

[@jonnybrown1717]

“It’s actually really hard to tune a broken hard drive” 😂😂😂

[@DJCosmicLatte]

Actually it does make a difference converting low quality samples to WAV -- quicker processing because it doesn't have to be deconpressed in realtime. Probably not a significant difference to non-potato users but my laptop gets constipated easily.

[@somnium291]

[@asynchronousongs]

Real-time? Why would the sample get decompressed multiple times? It's a file format not a data type. I'm pretty sure (most) DAWs would simply keep the files loaded in memory for as long as the project is open right? Otherwise how would playback from HDD not cause excessive delay/lag?

@@Zeta368peep That HDD is probably the worst I've heard in 20 years. Legit physical reaction to hearing that. lol

The part where he played the HDD sample directly over the drop beat was literally just a Space Laces drop and you can't tell me I'm wrong

[@Gnurklesquimp2]

Here's a tip for professional sound design: You know those attics that open up out of the ceiling? With the hatch? Open and close as many of them as you can, at different speeds, constant or changing speeds, maybe bang on it, but don't get carried away with that. Some of them have some craaazy springs, and if they're old, they can sound really gnarly. Usually a bunch of houses in the same street have them, it's hard to stay undetected doing this stuff so try it when they're at work.

[@YOEL_44]

When I saw the name of the video, I was expecting a Western Digital. Not dissapointed at all, yep, that's what they do.
