I think something that might improve the sound is something as simple as a lid to the 'dustbin' to reduce the acoustic loss. In a sense, by reducing the size of the hole, it would compress the sound waves/particles and would greatly improve the harmonics. Disclaimer: In my own opinion.
yea, I've seen professional horn players use a tube(size varying on the octave of the instrument, longer for lower), a funnel(larger for lower), and a mouthpiece of teh instrument being imitated and it sounded amazing...of course they were all University professors lol
coming from a brass player, get a larger mouthpiece, like one for a trombone. the size of the amplifier doesnt match well with the size of the moutpiece, which happens to be the most important part of the because it is where the sound begins.
Good effort! To me, it sounds like a trumpet without the mouthpiece. Try widening the opening of the mouthpiece so you can buzz your lips more effectively- that may make it sound better.
There's something you should bear in mind that I didn't know during my education. I don't know if things are the same in the States but Sound Engineers don't get paid a great deal over here. However, Acoustic Engineers are paid in buckets of cash. I had to employ one to gain Planning Permission for a house I was altering a few years ago...
Haha. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Um, yeah, believe it or not I got one of, if not the best mark in the class!? I think the tutors sympathised that I didn't know what it would sound like when I was building it, they also appreciated me trying to come up with a new instrument - which sounds easy until you try it. Also, the competition was crap - some bloke put an elastic band over a f*cking shoe box!
well they have a couple different degrees in the AA&A dept. i think ill stick with recording since thats my strong point or sound reinforcement sounds good too
Yeah, they had one at a TV studio that I used to work at. It was used for voice over's and continuity stuff. I know what you mean; it certainly is bizarre in there.
The general consensus was that the volume of air in the resinator (dustbin) was too big for an individual to shift efficiently with lungs alone. I said I'd connect it to a compressor and a reed to make a pretty huge fog horn but never got round to it.
Yes, perfect. I suppose you don't want the Voice Over guy to sound like he's in a bathroom or something. Come to think of it I have ready access to a Live Voice Over suite in the TV station I work at at the moment. There are no acoustic tiles but I think it's acoustically sealed (probably to keep sound out rather than in (there's a whole lot of high tempered and high volume swearing that goes on during live programming that is obviously not wanted on air!)).
I can't believe I said malarkey... Don't think I've said it in my life before or since - at least I hope I haven't! Sorry to disagree with you but the saying that egg crates are an audio engineers wives tale is an, err, old wives tale Egg crates reflect sound waves at an angle and so help to disperse any standing waves that the room is prone to. They also absorb sound waves and increase the surface area of a wall. Have a look at acoustic tiles, they look like foam egg boxes for a reason
Yeah, I play keyboards, guitar and sing a bit, but actually I see myself as a programmer/writer more than anything. I've been meaning to upload more videos (a couple containing stuff I've written) but I've got no time at the moment :(
Yeah, you're right. Problem is that I didn't know that when I was building it. I had to "demonstrate" this in front of a class of music students. Must admit I felt a bit of a 'narna. There again other students had put a f***ing elastic band over a shoe box!
omg... Skare just got OWNED lol yeah go team... just thought id tell u way to tell them off and also u can play WAYYYYYY better then the trumpets in my band clas
haha, malarky. well your right, its better than having flat surfaces. and those standing waves will bring havoc upon your low end. i guess i wouldn't call it a permanent solution. Ever been in an anachoic chamber? man its crazy, it made me sick to my stomach not having any reference reflections.
Whilst I admit it sounded like I released a little tommy squeaker I can in fact assure you that my bum cheeks remained tightly clenched throughout the entire exercise. No, honest!
...(when you structurally alter a house in England you have to get consent from the local Council and they generally make you jump through a load of pointless hoops). Anyway, the cheapest I could find was £850 for a half day (and for that he did essentially f*ck all). ...Thats $3400 a day!? If I'd known that years ago it may have changed my career!
did you say malarky? that is some secret ass shit i havnt heard in a long time. if you studied acoustics what are you doing with those egg crates? thats an old audio engineer wives tale.
What the hell where u smoking when studying??? u do know a simple piece of pipe (or gardenhose) gives the same sound don't you? It's like builind a ten foot constructionthat makes two spoons clap together!

I heard one of these in the middle of the night.

I was expecting more, it looked impressive lol. You coulda done that with anything!

this is music quality for a king!=)
Buaahaahaa, sounds like a sick moose. Great! :)
@lochead1 You win at the 'Being British' game.
Finally someone with a decent accent in TH-cam!
But, sorry mate, didn't it seemed quite unpractical for you?
Regards.

I'm sure you Farted towards the end of that clip!!!LMAO!!!!!! best tune ever!!! Go i bet you're laughing your arse off too!!!!!!
Lol! so hilarious! You should come here in Canada and use it in the woods, I bet you can call a moose, this sounds like a male desperate for mating!
well they have a couple different degrees in the AA&A dept. i think ill stick with recording since thats my strong point or sound reinforcement sounds good too
this looks like a ghost catcher that the ghostbusters would use
Can you play something with all those machines in that room?
Yeah, they had one at a TV studio that I used to work at. It was used for voice over's and continuity stuff.

haha, im applying to columbia college of chicago this week, they have a great audio and acoustics program

ROFL this Is Great ! ROck On !
vow realy melodic instrument
Bloody hell! What kind of toilets do you have in Holland!?
haha, malarky. well your right, its better than having flat surfaces. and those standing waves will bring havoc upon your low end. i guess i wouldn't call it a permanent solution. Ever been in an anachoic chamber? man its crazy, it made me sick to my stomach not having any reference reflections.
voiceovers? thats crazy, did it sound natural?
can it produce more then one tone ?
A reed mouthpiece like a basson mouthpeice might work better.
Is that the course you're applying for?
Whilst I admit it sounded like I released a little tommy squeaker I can in fact assure you that my bum cheeks remained tightly clenched throughout the entire exercise. No, honest!
it sounds like a constipated rooster lmao
No. Deadly serious. :-I

sound like killing someone! funny!!
oh, well. At least it looks cool. probably would sound better with a professional trumpetier. Kinda cool, 4*.

FART FART FART LOL
sounds like a dieing farting ox or boar thing
LOL!
Oh dear...
sounds more like a fart out of a tin :D
its for sucking not blowing wahaha
then just add some water
lmfao
looks like a toilet to me
What the hell where u smoking when studying???
u do know a simple piece of pipe (or gardenhose) gives the same sound don't you?
It's like builind a ten foot constructionthat makes two spoons clap together!
VUVUZELA LOL
Nice but all these "home made insturments" videos has too much talk.. Don't talk, show you're instrument :P
lolooollool gj
lollollollol
too mucho blablabla
hmmm... I went to your site - not very interesting. Try this one GoFuckYourselfYouNobGobblingLumpOfShit.com_
ROFL!! THAT SOUNDS TERRIBLE!XD
vow realy melodic instrument
