Music of Sound

> Robert Henke aka Monolake has released some of his MaxforLIVE plugs for free (thanks!) including Circular Doppler: “Two virtual microphones rotate around a single sound source. Doppler delays, distance dependent amplitude modulation and filtering included. Movement of source and microphones synced to song position. This allows 100% reproducible effects.”

> I started a little meme on twitter the other day about #overused_Lib_FX
Heres a copy of the list everyone posted:
- the BBC SFX ‘crying baby’
- Creaking metal door sound
- Feedback anytime someone approaches a microphone
- “Well, basically all of these… http://filmsound.org/cliche/
- Red-tailed hawk
- The opening of a DOOM door
- Crow caws
- Sword being drawn
- The same magpies every time
- The Wilhelm
- Bell trees for any xmas related graphics
- Bullet impact into metal
- Gun chamber cocking
- Whispy wind through wires
- Children playing in the park
- Single spark zapping
- Fireball whoosh
- Hawk screech
- Metal hatch squeak
- Dog next door
- Doppler truck horn

I think half the problem with these #overused_library_FX is people use the exact same version EVERY time… Methink someone should release a library of “Alternates to the most #overused_library_FX” with ten different doppler truck horns & 20 dogs next door etc….
