Noise Box Prototype

[@Big5Audio]

The bowing of the mug tower was a thing of beauty, awesome prototype!

[@AturaxAudio]

Thank you mate! That one is particularly special. I think I shall have to multi-sample it and load it across a piano roll. It could make one hell of an instrument all by itself.

@@AturaxAudio ooooooo good shout!!

Excelente! your excellency. I like how you put the pickups on the out side. Brilliant.

[@j.wilcox3547]

Love the materials, sounds great, too.

[@elnickro]

Wow, this is such a brilliant idea! I've been amazed at how creative and unique each person's noise boxes are, this video has given me such inspiration!

[@AturaxAudio]

Cheers mate, in my experience - the key to success is all in the quality of the contact mic. From there you can just build something utterly ridiculous and the fun is in the experimentation.

[@Awyang]

This is some interesting stuff right here

[@AturaxAudio]

Thanks, it's a hell of a lot of fun

the bowing of this stuff is so good! this is great. I love this

[@AturaxAudio]

Me too mate! I'm excited to add more stuff! Got some awesome ideas in the bank, just in the process of figuring out implementation. Glad you're loving it too! Cheers!

Pretty dope dude. I just finished rewatching Hannibal on netflix and I think that bad boy can handle a large part of that score work. Very nice. 👍👌🤟

[@AturaxAudio]

Haha I'm not sure it could do an entire Netflix feature, but I can imagine that these sorts of recordings went a long way towards the sound for that show! Thanks for stopping by mate, much appreciated & flattered!

[@7812187]

This is fantastic. I'd be interested to know how you connected everything int your computer and PA system. Thank you

[@AturaxAudio]

Thank you kindly. I'm using two contact microphones, one on each metal tray, going into my audio interface. All that happens after that is some reverb being applied via Logic. The plan is to go more in-depth with effects and other sound design techniques, but for now it's just a bunch of kitchen stuff bolted together 😂

[@7812187]

@@AturaxAudio thank you....sounds great. I am looking to get contact microphones too any suggestion where I can get good quality ones. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

[@RetrovexOfficial]

awesome creative work! reminds me a bit of cymbology bowed :D

[@AturaxAudio]

I've never had the pleasure of using that. Do you have it? I've always thought about getting it.

[@RetrovexOfficial]

@@AturaxAudio I do, I've been using it in my dubstep, orchestra and many other projects! really handy and fun vst library for kontakt :)

[@jamesmeustache7740]

really awesome ! This made me get a bow (really cheap) but I can't get it to ring like this on metal stuff....does the quality of the bow matters or does it has to do maybe with the metal stuff mostly ? cheers!!

[@AturaxAudio]

Haha that's awesome to hear. So in my experience the bow doesn't matter so much, but don't forget to wax it before use for best results. With regards to the metals you have, I find that too thick means no resonance. You want something that will continue to vibrate after you've hit it (e.g. like a tuning fork will ring out after being tapped). So go round and hit stuff before you commit to using it 👍

[@jamesmeustache7740]

@@AturaxAudio I see! Thanks for answering!! I'll give all that a try ! You can imagine my disappointed when all i heard was some scrubbing :D

[@AturaxAudio]

@@jamesmeustache7740 oh yes, and I feel your pain. Sooo many times I've applied contact microphones to things that look like they are going to sound amazing... only to find they don't. Keep searching and you will get great results. I personally find charity shops to be a good place to pick up cheap metal objects (like plate or mug holders made from wire frame). Good luck dude!!!

[@nathantron]

Rubber duck.

[@loris9920]

What's that long metal thing called? And how did you attach that to the metal plate hahaha so cool!

[@AturaxAudio]

I believe that is called a 'mug tree'? And everything was put together using nuts, bolts and metal washers. Essentially it is all just screwed down as tightly as I could get it. Thanks!!

[@AwarSurrect]

Found this video, checked your channel and oh well im glad i found what i found. So much quality. Also can i ask if these samples were released somewhere? Would love to do some experiments with them :b

[@AturaxAudio]

Thanks, and thanks for the comment. These sounds were not released but I'd be happy to dig them out for you. Email me - [e-mail]

[@martytables]

Awesome video! how much time did it take you to make the noisebox?

[@AturaxAudio]

Far too long! Been really busy lately, so this project has been long forgotten about until I just yesterday decided to pick it up again. Thanks man!

[@martytables]

@@AturaxAudio maybe you could use a short steel pipe on it?

[@AturaxAudio]

@@martytables I have a plan to do something similar!

[@Nicosta]

This is so cool! What contact microphones did you recorded it with?

[@AturaxAudio]

Cheers! I'm using a pair of JRF Pro Series-C contact microphones.

[@brunotortorello8530]

so this is going straight into raum or is there anything else?

[@AturaxAudio]

That's it mate. Nothing else at the moment, but as I start to record samples from it I will probably look to employing other effects in post.

[@quentinlagarrigue8099]

Hi. Can you tell me which kind of amplifier or pré amp you using for the signal of your contact mic ?

[@AturaxAudio]

I'm using a Scarlett 18i8 2nd Gen. The mics are JRF C-Series Pros.

[@quentinlagarrigue8099]

@@AturaxAudio thanks. the one i've found on internet is pretty expensive (40£) but it seems to worth the price.
