Ok, so not exactly.
I recorded the sound of the gates to the yard where the studio is. The chain around the gates makes a terrible noise when unwrapping it. It must be hell for the neighbours. It's not my responsibility but I'm going to try to put pipe insulations around and tape up some of the gate poles and the chain so that they don't clang. Because they really clang.
Anyway I recorded them. And cleaned up the recording today. Lots of the sound of wind too. Anyway I ended up ripping out some of the deep bass with Soundtrack Pro, which worked a treat. But the recording itself didn't really capture the massive ring of the gates. I was a bit disappointed - the mics on the hand-held recorder just didn't capture the sound that well. Or I will have to try again!. But I got some ringing sounds that I will include in All Beat Up 2
The track All Beat Up 2 I am working on has some dark industrial elements to it. I have been thinking about enhancing those, and not let too much traditional sounds in.
The idea is that instead of steady chords I put bits of chords from different sounds in - like I did with I am losing you so the sound hints at the chord sequence from various directions.
At the moment I have some organ sounds in there that don't seem right. I'm going to replace this with something more industrial.
I'm also going to see what I can do with the cleaned up clangs from the gates and also the rhythmic wind I managed to create....
