Haven’t checked in here for years. Hope the old-timers are well.
I’m trying to create a sample of a crowd clapping a particular rhythm–as at sporting events.
I was wondering if anyone here would be willing to record themselves clapping this rhythm and upload it so I can incorporate your version into the final mass effect.
The interesting thing is that I’ve tried recording just me and a few other people twenty times and it just doesn’t sound realistic. Perhaps there is simply no substitute for a BUNCH of real people all clapping.
So if you’d be willing please, wouldn’t mind… here is the source rhythm.
I dunno how to get the thing -to- me. Perhaps you could attach your results to a PM?
The stamping effects were created by the band overdubbing the sounds of themselves stomping and clapping many times and adding delay effects to create a sound like many people were participating. The durations of the delays were in the ratios of prime numbers, a technique now known as non-harmonic reverberation.
The usual rate of just one of my claps is in the 6 figure area… I might give you some though… U know… Since it stays in the cubase family and what not…
Speaking of old timers… This seemed like yesterday:
I can clap any of the claps you hear in the video…
Which one do you prefer?
If you use Reaktor, there is a pretty flexible ensemble for claps and a separate one for snaps. It has number of claps from 1 to large groups, control of clap sync…how tight or loose, tone, etc triggered by midi.
If you don’t use Reaktor, I have seen freeware VST’s out there haven’t I?
you could use vst connect and online users for capturing the claps.
another idea is going to a concert and wait untill it finishes and hope the croud will give you a big “we want more” for recording.
