Industrial samples

I'd like to find some heavy industrial samples. Metal clanging, pipes, s**t like that. There are NONE on my Industrial sample CDs. You'd think they could be found all day long. But h**l if i can find any. I have some passable sounds on my K4 and XD-5. But i'd like samples of the real deal.

You need to find some sample CDs from the 90's. There used to be loads of Industrial sample disks floating around back then. I guess it's just not in vogue in the 00's. Shame really. Try grabbing some snippets off of any Front 242 album, NIN's Pretty Hate Machine or maybe some Test Department? 8)

Try these...

M-Audio Pro Sessions Vol. 11: Mechanically Separated
Sony ACID Joe Vitale: Junkyard Rhythms

Computer Music magazine had a DVD with 3 gigs of Industrial hits/loops a few months back. Maybe you can find a back issue.

I keep looking for Mechanically Separated, but just can't find it. I have Junkyard Rhythms, and find the percussion rather weak. But then again, i haven't listened to it in a few years... maybe i'll have to dig it out and have another go.

I've not heard any of those sounds on any of the 242 records i have. Can't stand NIN, and can never find any TD =o] Einsturzende Neubauten is a good candidate though.

What about sampling sound effects from movies...or doing some of your own field recordings?

Weak percussion can be improved immensely with the judicious use of dynamics, EQ, and just a smattering of other FX...

I spent a couple of hours at the local iron + metal scrapyard with a merely-decent microphone and a minidisc recorder. I just picked up whatever I could lift and threw it at whatever I couldn't and recorded everything. I've edited it down into multiple full kits and half an album's worth of percussion tracks.

It's really not hard, you just have to get out there and do it...

when i used to play in industrial bands we would sometimes set aside days sometimes weeks to come up with new sounds.
sometimes it would be taking a bunch of sample cds and playing them through stomp boxes and then triming them up and reediting them in the computer.
other times it would be taking a bunch of the crappiest keyboards and recording loops from them or individual sounds and resampling them.
making some of the most killer synth bass sounds from rubber bands was a lot of fun too.i can remember how much fun it was telling people who asked what bass synth was used and being able to tell them it was a no5 a number five rubber band.
you can do all kinds of things realy.
collecting various metalic objects to turn into drum kits.
the best samples are the ones you make yourself.
taking some dj records and processing the samples before they even hit the board with stomp boxes is fun too.
alot of people say you will have line noise from this and you will but you can denoise it afterwards eq it and further process it.
noise is a good thing sometimes too.
line noise from distortion pedals can be trimmed down into samples wich can be resequenced to produce some cool rythmic samples.
anything your imagination can come up with can be usable if you want to.
some of the coolest drum sounds i have ever heard have been made with things found in the garbage.
even a piece of paper being ripped can be made into a cool percussive sound.

I'd like to do field recordings for sure, but i don't have anything to record with sadly. Perhaps i will have to seek someone out who has a portable recorder and head down to the local scrap iron yard for a few hours.
