Does anyone have samples about metal hammer impact sounds?
I need hammer quality samples, with a strong, dry impact, a metal hammer against another metal. Anyone have any flac you can share?
On the other hand, does anyone know of any VSTi that contains hammer impacts?
I would use it along with symphonic orchestra and synthesizers.
I have searched in many parts and unfortunately I can not find samples of quality and the VSTi libraries that I have nor does this kind of sound appear.
Fieldrecorder are dirt cheap, why not look for a secondhand zoom H2 or something? You can record your own original sounds quickly @ high sample/bit rates if necessary.
Thank you very much! For the moment, I found this loop with 5 impacts. The third impact is close to what I’m looking for. With a little equalization or pitch variation I think it might work.
Interestingly, this sample is recorded with a Zoom H5 (they look very nice these microphones).Although I had a good heavy hammer and a good piece of metal to beat, I know that it is very difficult to get the desired sound, since it depends on the material. These kinds of sounds are hard to come by.I have a wired microphone that captures quite well. But ugh, it is very difficult to record certain sounds.Above, the hammer impact leaves a wake of reverberation that also depends on the room, which complicates it even more.
There probably is some library for Kontakt with percussions of this type.
You could try using a cheap piezo contact mic on the metal piece, this way you get the clang in full glory but mostly without any mic/room effects at all, like anechoic quality to put room on yourself. I recommend bribing local scrapyards owner, he might even borrow you some more advanced and fierce hammers for your repository of…er, musical instruments?
I really am not aware of how much art is concentrated here when it comes to capturing sounds, a “hidden” craft practice that could give many hours of fun to those who carry it out.
I am also looking for a very peculiar sound of percussion, which has been used to imitate the footsteps of a horse with the impact of a coconut split in half?I do not know how to explain it. Let’s see if I find any video and I share it.

I wish I had a good microphone and a good sound card , because I´m actually a bladesmith and i do hammer metals every day, I also make music in renoise as a hobby… here a video (with hammer sounds)of myself hammering the tang of knife with a track I´ve made in Renoise 3,1 in the background…
