I am psyched to have recreated the #dalek control room heartbeat sound, made in 1963 by Brian Hodgeson of the #BBC Radiophonic Workshop, this is an iconic sound, still used today, that I could not think how to recreate...until today.

@xogium Thank you. I've refined it.
@JustinMac84 OMG! Even better. Personally, I don't see an actual difference now.

@xogium The first version, I simply ear-balled, listening to the sound, picking out prominent harmonics and creating them with sine waves. I missed quite a few though. I combed through the original sound with a very narrow band pass filter to pick out what I missed and add it in.

@JustinMac84 Talk about dedicated work. I’m impressed. I'd be hard pressed to do the same.

@xogium I'm a bit of a Doctor Who fanatic so the investment was worth it. Also it was good skill-hoaning.

@JustinMac84 Hahaha! So am I. I absolutely like the sounds the tardis make, all of them. I wonder how they were made.
And then that episode in the rebooted tv show of 2005 where you actually get the feeling of « oh, shit" because you've just heard a weeping angel blowing out the candle Rory is holding… It might not be sound design but it sure showed an attention to details.

#IMadeAThing! I've refined my #Dalek control room heartbeat sound effect, adding more harmonics, tweaking the reverb and speeding it up a bit. I'm really psyched to have been able to get as close as I have to such an iconic sound effect. Here's the original for reference. Let me know what you think.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su45cczykO8&list=RDsu45cczykO8&start_radio=1 #DoctorWho #SoundDesign #SoundEffects #SFX #SoundFX
@JustinMac84 @xogium OMG I'm not the only one that felt like that sounded like a heartbeat?

@xogium I'm not a fan of the new series. I'm classic all the way myself, but I'm glad that the show is endearing itself to a new generation. The TARDIS sound was made, primarily, by someone scraping a door key along piano strings.

@JustinMac84 @xogium Yeah, first time I heard it was on Big Finish.

@JustinMac84 Hmmm. Now that you mention it, it does make sense. There's a little something left over from the original sound in there.
And yeah I hear you about the reboot vs classic. I just hava a huge problem with classic, the sound quality puts me off every single time.

@JustinMac84 @xogium My first exposure was, I think, The Impossible Plannet. Then I got all into the Cybermen. So, Cybermen 1 and 2 from Big Finish. Now I'm going back through the Classic and Revival series, and I've spent money mon Big finish. I respect that they don't DRM their MP3's.

@JustinMac84 @pixelate @xogium My first was the sirons of time. Ah, such a classic.

@pixelate @xogium Big Finish do a lot of good titles. Quite a bit of crap as well, but that's to be expected. Dalek Empire is my favourite of dalek stuff that they do. Cybermen are great. It's weird, if you look at cybermen objectively, I thinkk they're cooler and more sinister than daleks, but there's just something about daleks, something about their presentation that makes them awesome.

@JustinMac84 @pixelate More cool indeed. They make a ton of noise when walking, but at least you can hear them coming. Daleks are furtive type. And they can't even go up a flight of stairs because they use wheels ha ha ha.

@JustinMac84 @pixelate Hah that is fair!
Speaking of new cybermen vs daleks... I absolutely like this scene from the new show. It's ridiculous in a good way because it's literally two different systems trying to agree on a protocol and just failing.- YouTube

@JustinMac84 @xogium @pixelate I don't know if I'm alone in this but the "Tenth Planet" Cybermen are my favorites. Their voices had that combination of somewhat human-sounding with that odd, old time computer voice inflection that, to me, made them sound so frightening. The 1980s Cybermen did not sound emotionless to me. They sounded either angry, disgusted or like they were enjoying themselves. The new Cybermen sound like they're talking through a roll of toilet paper. The Nicholas Briggs Dalek voices, to me, are the best. They are menacing and absolutely frightening. Briggs has Dalek psychology down to a science.
