We just got a new toy! The Sanken CO-100K. It's a small diaphragm condensor microphone that records up to 100KHz! 🤯 To put that into perspective, most microphones taper off very quickly after 20KHz (which is the upper limit of human hearing).
So why record such high frequencies you ask? Well, sometimes we pitch things down! This video is a comparison from two of our microphones. I (Russell) recorded myself making a monster noise and then slowed it down 200%. Guess which one is the CO-100K! Note: it's pretty easy to tell 😊
Sons of Ra Sizzle
Sons of Ra, a competitive tower defense game set in the world of Egyptian Gods is out RIGHT NOW!
We created and implemented the sound design and our good griends Box Monkey Studios composed the music. It's currently 10% off for launch, check it out!
Fun Fact! - Have you ever noticed that it's much quieter outside after a good snow? This is due to the acoustic absorptive qualities of snow.
Much like the fibers in fancy baffles and acoustic wall treatment, snowflakes have lots of air pockets that trap and reduce sound waves. The acoustic energy gets converted into heat!
Maybe blasting some sweet tunes in your car will help the snow melt faster! Possibly yelling at the snow when your car gets stuck will clear road, we all know that angry sounds create more heat, right??
