Hey, it's Andrew Huang  [⭐ Clap ⭐]
I just got back from playlist live
First time there, I had such a great time
Thank you to everyone who came out to the meetup that we had
It was so nice to meet you all and chat with you
I'm excited today because I'm making a video that I've been thinking about for
a couple years...?
At this conventions you get all this swag and
I've been saving some of it
this is an awesome reusable plastic water bottle
that I got a VidCon a couple years ago
I like that it's clear and sturdy,
it has a screw on
Here's a new awesome one that I got at Playlist that's metal, and sleek, and
black and cool-looking
And then there is this one which I don't even know if it's meant to
be reusable, I've actually never drunk
out of it. It's just like this future
plastic bag water container. So why am i
excited? Well these are three items that
share a common theme and purpose but
they're all made of different materials.
I think I can get some great sounds.
And as you're going to hear the amount of
water in them can really affect the kind
of sounds you can get. So I'm going to
set up a little recording station here,
gather a bunch of sounds, make some kind
of track with them and also release them
all as a sample pack for my $5 and up
patrons. I've got a bunch up there
already and there's always more coming,
so check that out. Let's begin.
There's water in it now.
I'm going to switch mics now because of the types of items we're
using. I really want to capture the way
that these bottles resonate, not just the
kind of slapping hitting sounds that I
can get from them, but the tones that
they'll produce as their cavities
resonate and also that will change with
the different amounts of water that
we'll put in them. I'm going to use my
new contact microphone. You might have
seen this if you watched my last video, I
recorded my chair with it
This is an omnia, it was sent to me by
"Heart Sound" and they're sponsoring this
video. I'll put their link in the
description. They were explaining to me
that it's actually an innovation as far
as contact mics go because it's the
first one to use an accelerometer and I
don't understand how that works but if you
have any ideas let me know. It's also
cool because the preamp opens up and you
can see all this cool stuff inside. So
anyway I'm going to stick this on here
and get a hopefully cleaner and more
intimate recording of these bottles
The great thing about making this sound pack
is that I am really hydrated. I've never
said this in a video before but I'm kind
of obsessed with water. The way that
people who love weed are about weed...
I want to be that for water
I want a hat that says water on it with
a picture of a cup. I want to buy all the
different water drinking paraphernalia
Instead of 420 we have 820 because it's
Eight Two O'
H 2 O
you really should be drinking water
more than 2 times a day
Common misconception: the more water you
add to a container, the lower the note
will become. A lot of people think it
goes higher because it seems like there
would be less space for the air to
resonate but I don't actually know how
it works the water does more sound
This bottle is now empty pretty much and it's
going to be the highest it has sounded
I really like the sounds from that bottle
it's like, it reminds me of a kalimba
the thumb pianos
I just remembered there's a
whole 4th water bottle I have to record
An entire one
Ta taraRAAA
[Air from the bottle]
I've had some of these water bottles for
so long. This is like destiny being
fulfilled right now.
Allright well I've been slapping water bottles for about
90 minutes now so I think I'm going to call
it there. Once I sorted through all these
sounds I'm going to make a track with
them and I will share that with you
right now
brah
I am soooo hiiii...
