It's a funny thing with me but I love recording my own sounds. With my trusty Zoom H1 I've captured all kinds of sounds. Just a few days ago, I simulated a car crash. I recorded me cycling down a steep hill and screeching on the brakes, then I also recorded me reversing into our dustbins where we live for a nice metal to metal contact bang. Then I recorded a few passes of me closing the car boot as a car drove by. I need about 3 seconds of a simulated crash and I'm confident I can put that lot together to make one. These sample libraries are great but there's something insanely great about doing it myself. Next on my agenda is a meeowing cat !
