Foley For You

Recording the RC car.

So today I bought an radio controlled car. And not for the 9-year-old-boy reason you think I did. No. 

We've needed something to make robot sounds for quite some time now. And the dude at Pilotage Hobby came up with with this RC car as a relatively inexpensive way to get servo sounds. 

The picture above shows the car on its back, on top of a music stand, being recorded by a Rode NT1. 

The servos seem to change in quality over time. We'll see how it all works out. 

Tomorrow will be robot Foley day in the Pandora Machine, that's for sure.
