[PROJECT HAS ENDED] The "Gears" Library

Kevin Sugimura

Hey Mike! Are we allowed to submit as a group (much like a company would). We're not a defined LLC, but we always function as a team.

All the files should be dry? Or can I upload processed files?

I'm not too sure as it doesn't specify in the brief. Maybe you could include both? A dry version and a processed

I would recommend submitting both. But if the process is intended to make it sound more like a gear, it's probably OK. I wouldn't bake in reverbs or anything though.

It would probably be more fair if individuals contributed. For example, if there are three of you, if you could provide three different recordings that would be great.

Mike, I uploaded my files, and within the folder I shared with you is a doc with contact info. Thanks!

Got it. Thanks!

I recorded my "gears" at 24bit / 192kHz -- is it OK to submit it at that sample rate, or should I bring it down to 96kHz?

I saw in the upload instructions to do everything at 24 / 96 so I just wanted to check. I recorded at 192 to allow better pitch shifting and (I'd think) better noise reduction, but I'll be glad to export everything at 96kHz before uploading.

Let me know.

Your head is in the right spot but can you please make them 24/96 for download size and consistency? Thanks!

Honestly, I overlooked the sample rate and this library would have been great for that, but next time!

Hey Mike,

sorry, I got the dates wrong and have just submitted - should be getting a google drive invitation, hope it reaches you (Andrew Mottl)

Thanks for yet another great project!

No problem Mike -- I just converted everything down to 24bit / 96kHz. I already sent you an invite last night to the shared Google Drive folder (from mooneyeric [at] yahoo [dot] com) that had 24 / 192 files in it. I just updated that folder with the new 24 / 96 files and then re-synced it, so all should be good now

Thanks for hosting this project! Looking forward to hearing what everyone else came up with!

Best,

Eric

Looks like I'm a late uploader. Recovering after losing 3 drives due to a power outage My recording is shared with you and is currently syncing.

Mike

You guys are all good!

georgevlad

Another late uploader here. I have about 30GB worth of stuff I recorded during my vacation but can't find the time to look into. Looking forward to hearing all the gear madness.

Mike

Well...I'll say this. You guys sure like your bicycle recordings.

Mike

Thanks to everyone that contributed! You should be receiving an email soon with access to the library. We ended up gathering more than 200 files, totaling a little more than 1.5GB! There's some good stuff in there. Kick ass job, everyone!

Duck

Thanks for organising Mike! And all the other contributors.

Got it, downloaded it, and have already used it in a project! Good stuff, everyone!
