Dark Engine is a free collection of feedback sound effects and distorted drum hits created by Timur Arynov aka MyOSS.
The Library
Audio feedback (also known as acoustic feedback, simply as feedback, or the Larsen effect) is a special kind of positive loop gain which occurs when a sound loop exists between an audio input (for example, a microphone or guitar pickup) and an audio output (for example, a power amplified loudspeaker).In this example, a signal received by the microphone is amplified. Here are the sounds that have been tagged with Mic free from SoundBible.com Please bookmark us Ctrl+D and come back soon for updates! All files are available in both Wav and MP3 formats. Attribution 3.0. Super high pitch dog whistle sound effect for 30 seconds. This file is super high pitch and your dog will hate you if you play this for. This is the 'cliche' sound of someone tapping on a public address microphone before speaking. I used an EV635 microphone hooked up to an amp. The PA speaker is positioned incorrectly behind the microphone, the volume is too loud, the EQ is off and the room is live - so there's a ringing or feedback. If you tap the microphone, the sound of the tap goes through the amplifier, comes out the speaker and re-enters the mic. This feedback loop happens so quickly that it creates its own frequency, and that produces the howling sound — an oscillation triggered by sound entering the microphone.
Dark Engine is the perfect source of distorted drums and feedback sounds. The included drum samples were processed with the Boss OS-2 overdrive pedal, while the feedback sounds were created using the MXR Carbon Copy analog delay pedal.
Here’s how Timur describes the Dark Engine sample collection:
Dark Engine sounds hard, dirty, and distorted. Firstly, I had recorded synthesized and sampled drums through the Boss OS-2 distortion/overdrive pedal. Secondly, I had recorded self-oscillated feedback from the MXR Carbon Copy analog delay pedal through an old guitar processor. It was a lot of fun tweaking knobs on delay pedal and hear that monstrous sound. For the best results, all samples should be used as layers to other drums and sound effects.
It’s amazing how much a talented sound designer can achieve with just a few pieces of gear. The included feedback samples are very cool and they can be used as the sound source for all sorts of sci-fi sound effects. They can also work well for bass or lead sounds if you process them inside a sampler.
The drum samples are also fantastic, especially suitable for use in industrial tracks. They have just the right amount of grit to cut through a bass-heavy mix and I also love the super heavy distortion on some of the included kick and snare samples.
