I appreciate your feedback. Your comment brings up an issue that I often contemplate. When is it valid to use factory presets and samples? I tend not to use them most of the time avoiding the "sound of the month" stigma. I do make exceptions for classic keyboard sounds like pianos and organs, or individual drum samples when programming beats. Perhaps I'll write an entry about this at some point. Thanks, Simon.

Simon hi John

Certainly meant no disrespect. I think you are doing a brilliant thing here sharing your techniques with the world.

I will check out the other sounds you mention and I’m also going to take a listen to your ‘dry’ drill sounds.

However, there are some clever ways that you can coax it into doing something more interesting. One technique I use (for any processing with randomness) is hybridization of the randomized results. Check out the posts <a href="http://audiocookbook.org/processing/hybridized-beat-repeat/" rel="nofollow">Hybridized Beat Repeat</a> and <a href="http://audiocookbook.org/sound_design/herding-random-behaviours/" rel="nofollow">Herding Random Behaviors</a> for an explanation, or look at the <a href="http://audiocookbook.org/tag/random-processing/" rel="nofollow">Random Processing</a> tag for more examples. Admittedly I did not spend all that much time on this sound, not bothering to follow my own advice. I guess that they can't all be gems when I'm creating a sound every day. Hey Simon,

Would have liked to have heard your sounds sans Beat Repeat. I just can’t get into Beat Repeat because whatever you put through it it always sounds unmistakeably like Beat Repeat.
