Brainstorming dUbPLaTes to concrete mixers - let's hear it

So, here is the thing. Let's create our own dub smashes with whatever we got? Me and my bro are thinking about placing the microphone next to the old concrete mixer. That grumbling humming sound, and hitting it with spoons for beats? What you guys think?

Wicked idea, mate! But remember to process and clean the audio afterwards, all that industrial noise can get messy. Excited to hear what this turns into!

Good on you for challenging the norms! Concrete mixer, eh? Mad respect. However, ensure your recording environment isn't too noisy. You don't want to pick up unwanted ambient sounds. Keep it raw, keep it real! Do share the tracks when you're done!

Intriguing stuff! Reminds me of my early experimental days. Before you start though, figure out the sound profile, you wouldn't want the mixer's noise overpowering everything else. A shotgun mic can help isolate the sound. Let us know how it goes!

lol, next thing you know we'll be micing up the kitchen sink. Why not include your granny's snoring while you're at it?😂

That's thinking outta the box, mate. Never heard of using a concrete mixer before. Could end up with some banging industrial beats. Just make sure you don't damage your mic with all that dust and gravel. Good luck, man!

Sound designer here. Those are some creative ideas mate! A concrete mixer can produce low-frequency rumbling, which is great for adding depth to a track. The clang of spoons can serve as a metallic percussive element. But for this, you might need a good quality mic that can capture the full frequency spectrum. Go for it and share the results!

Hell yeah dude! Love that you're exploring with unusual sound sources. Concrete mixers have such a unique raw and industrial vibe. Maybe try mic'ing it from different angles to catch the echo too. Remember, the rules are there are no rules in sound experimentation!
