This library provides vintage radio sound effects, including long AM/FM browsing takes with equalizer adjustments and detailed foley of the receiver’s buttons, switches, and faders.
Vintage Radio includes long takes of AM and FM frequency browsing, along foley content
featuring all the buttons and switches present on this old-school stereo receiver.
The AM static and noise recordings have a warmth rarely found on modern radios, perfect for use in military settings or obscure transmissions in spy flicks. The FM browsing sounds
feature traditional rapid radio station switching with garbled voices, brief musical stings, and a mix of cleaner, harsher static and noise suitable for more modern contexts.
Both the AM and FM browsing takes also include extended segments where I experiment
with this stereo receiver’s equalizer. These takes possess a certain musicality, as the frequency boosts and reductions introduce additional variation to the aforementioned neutral
recordings.
To complement this library, there are foley recordings of all the buttons, faders and switches
on this stereo receiver’s front panel.
