Angry Crowd

I recorded this sound using a Neumann U87 microphone through an Avalon M5 preamp to my Mac.  Believe it or not, it's actually just my voice - recorded many times.  I did my best to change the pitch and sound of each voice.  I think I did over 50 tracks to make the sound.  After I recorded several tracks  of voice, I would pan each track to a different spot in the stereo spectrum, then mix down to a single stereo track.  Then I imported the track in and started all over again until I had the right amount of layering.  The trick was to yell words that were unintelligible.  If you heard a single track of this you would probably laugh!  Lots of mumbo jumbo! Perfect for an angry crowd background ambience!
