Computer Noises

Hard disks, Floppy drives, CPU fans and more

Computer Noises is based on a wide palette of noises that computers emit when booting, reading from their CD-ROM drives or accessing a hard disk.





The library features several complete boot sequences of 10 different laptop and desktop computers ranging from an old ATARI PC-2, going over to Pentium I and III, Celerons and CoreDuo machines.
Each booting sequence was recorded from different positions within the computer casings.
So each computer features its own hard disks, power- and CPU fans plus all those other strange noises that occured.

The stems come as stereo files but due to the fact that a computer doesn´t show up as an ideal "A-B" , "X-Y" , "ORTF" or whatever stereo compatible sound source some of the stems should be seen as dual-mono files.
This doubles the amount of editing and processing possibilities.

As bonus 25 extra sounds from external hard disks and blowers of all kind are included in this library.
