Happy to announce that we've added the children's classic song "Old MacDonald Had A Farm" to our music library on AudioJungle. We have been very pleased with the popularity of our children's songs and it's great to have added another one to our library. My daughter, Emily Gootee is the vocalist on this song and also several of our children's tracks. She has a lovely voice and it fits perfectly for children's music. Be on the lookout for more children's songs in the near future. Take a listen to this one below! Kids Diana Show is one of the top children's Youtube channel. In fact it is the 5th most viewed and 5th most subscribed channels on Youtube with over 120 million subscribers. Apple Hill Studios sounds and music are used in most of the videos they have uploaded from the last couple of years. In the most current episode it features a ton of voices, sounds and musical accents that we have produced including the voice of the big balloon character. Take a listen and look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plDsOkcl-WU I have been adding various miscellaneous sounds to my library this past week including a bunch of different playing cards and poker chip sounds. I found the poker chips in an antique store on our recent trip to Lake Murray. My daughter Emily does a great job shuffling cards so she helped me with the card sounds. Thanks Emily! Several of these sounds are already available on AudioJungle and will soon be on Motion Array as well. Take a listen below to some of the card shuffling sound effects. I had a very enjoyable getaway trip this past week to Dreher Island State Park outside of Columbia, SC off Lake Murray. My wife and I met some friends there Sunday afternoon and we enjoyed a few days of relaxing, catching up and hitting several antique stores in the area. We enjoyed the villa we stayed in (Villa #4) and saw lots of wildlife in the area including many deer. I also managed to get several new sounds including the lake water lapping on the shore in the back of our villa. These sounds will be available on Motion Array & AudioJungle within the next several days. Take a listen to one of the sounds I recorded below: So the radio in this picture is a very dear part of my teenage, growing up years in the big town of Wallace, NC. When I was around 12 or 13, I had a dream of becoming a radio disc jockey or a "DJ" as most would call it. I use to record myself using my portable cassette tape recorder and pretend to be a DJ and announce various hit songs from the early 70s. When I turned 15 years old I actually got my dream job working at WLSE in Wallace. They trained me and my friend Bryon Lindner to work the 7-10:30 pm shift during the week and then work a good bit on the weekends. I was in heaven! I loved it. Sure beat the heck out of working in a Tobacco field! The radio pictured was my parent's radio that sat in the kitchen and they would listen to me when I was on air. And when I was off air I would tune in to listen to the latest greatest hits of the 70's. Amazing memories! I produced an Old Radio effect this afternoon using my beloved radio. There's lots of static when you turn it on and off but it still works great! These sounds will be available on Motion Array within the next week or two. Take a listen below. I spent a bit of the afternoon producing several new cartoon comical crash effects. These are always fun to make. My wife is use to seeing me gather up kitchen utensils, pots and pans and giant spoons for occasions such as these! And then add in some cymbal crashes and bass drum kicks, maybe a slide whistle and whamo! A new fun sound is born. These sounds will be available on AudioJungle and Motion Array within the next several days. Take a listen below to a sample. The photo to the left is of my Neumann U47Fet microphone that I use for all my voice overs. I'm a HUGE fan of Neumann microphones which are some of the finest mics in the world. I own several and they are my go to microphones. In addition to recording a host of different sounds I love to do cartoon voice overs with different voices. I get a real kick out of hearing these voices in several of the top children's videos on Youtube including "Like Nastya", "Diane & Roma" and "Vlad & Nicki" just to name a few. These channels have had literally billons of views. I hear my work in just about every episode from the last couple of years on each of these channels. They use a lot of my musical interludes and accents as well. Take a listen below to a short sample of couple of my voices that were recently added to my library on AudioJungle. I just returned from a four day three night trip to Washington DC. My wife and I took the train up on Sunday and enjoyed seeing several must see sites of our nation's capital. We particularly enjoyed the Modern Museum Of Art. Though it was a little on the cool side, it was nice to see the city without tons of people that you get during the Spring & Summer. We enjoyed some great food at Old Ebbitt's Grill and L'adente. I especially enjoy Italian food so L'adenta was a real treat. If you ever go check out their 40 layer Lasagna. It's amazing!! Of course I took along my trusty recording devices and captured several sounds including some museum room ambience. I also captured several urban street traffic scenes and some great train sounds. These sounds will be available on AudioJungle & Motion Array. Take a listen below to some of the museum room ambience. One of my most favorite movie soundtrack songs is the theme from the movie The Deer Hunter "Cavatina". It was written and performed by John Williams. Every time I hear it I am moved and it invokes deep feelings. I wrote and recorded "Love Again" a few years ago in an attempt to invoke similar feelings. It was recorded with a Yari Alvarez Classical Guitar using Neumann Km84 vintage microphones. It is now available as a download on Motion Array. Take a listen below and dream about the one you love!
