The idea for this library came from the Black Sheeps film. A scruffy bunch of protestors turn up & one of them has a loud hailer. Of course dialogue isn’t my department but I needed button clicks & feedback, so I bought a big old megaphone that looked like its been to plenty of protests! One aspect that especially appealed is that this model had a detachable microphone, connected via a coiled cable, which meant feedback could be performed.<\/p>\n

While visiting a friend Phil Burton, who also did temp mix for us, and mentioning my megaphone, he kindly grabbed his from his foley room & loaned it to me. Its a bit smaller, more modern and had an alarm setting.<\/p>\n

So this library contains likely far more megaphone than you will ever need, but as\u00a0per\u00a0the making of vid these loud hailers are capable of so many interesting sounds – I almost started playing tunes with the feedback!<\/p>\n

Buttons, noise bursts, sustained noise and lots of feedback – short bursts, squeals, sustained, moving, muffled etc<\/p>\n

The older megaphone also glitched at times, I think due to battery starvation. The connection the batteries press against was a bit corroded and did not initially work. But before I resolved that it made for some intermittent sounds and glitchy oscillations.<\/p>\n

This is one of the loudest libraries I have recorded, requiring ear plugs to perform loud characterful feedback…<\/p>\n
