Audio diary 06: Recording a colourful audio test equipment library

I'm in the process of experimenting with and recording a sound library consisting of raw audio test oscillator tones, drones and noises and then impart a handful of colour with magnetic tape machines, of which I have a fair few at my disposal.

All with their own individual character, wonkiness and colour.

I've been meaning to try and record something like this for ages, having worked with the test equipment for quite a while and I often find myself, when doing sound design of a particular style, searching for and hunting the personal archives for fitting source of this flavour, so it makes the most sense to try and record, edit down and release a library consisting of these tones.

It'll be out eventually - once I've tamed the machines and whittled down the raw recordings into something more managable.
