Detritus 24

> 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… https://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….
