Crafting Steampunk Roomtones

This sound library represents a personal homage to Manchester. This city mirrors the Industrial Revolution and as a Sci-Fi reader it inspires a sight of Steampunk genre when walking through the small towns that encompass Great Manchester. As part of its industrial history, Robinson Brewery has prevalence along with the city. A booked visit to Robinson Brewery on the 11th of January made possible to tour the Brewery and record the machinery.The equipment used was the H5 portable recorder and the Rode NTG2. The use of the three microphones at the same time was a very useful consideration regarding backup, as some of the recordings were not suitable for use due to the ambient conditions of the place. The tour was fully complete, recording every room where the brew is craft, repose and ready to be delivered. Each sound of the library is one different warehouse of the Brewery. After two hours of exploration the next stop was the Unicorn Bottling, where the bottling and packaging is manufactured. This place is a very loud factory, the SPL surpasses the range of human hearing. It is not plausible to speak or have the ears uncovered as they are exposed to sore and damage. Yet the outcome yielded into unconventional and interesting roomtones.
