              @DavidGoldfield Need to fill in a few harmonics I've discovered, but that shouldn't be too difficult.

                @upmultimedia Thank you! πŸ™‚ I need to fill in a few harmonics, but it's well on the way. Also the rhythm is slightly off. But it sure is fun zooming in on!

                    #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.

                            @JustinMac84 Its a good show for a sound designer to like - especially the older series.

                              @Black_Flag I think one of the reasons I'm a sound designer is because I like Doctor Who. The classic era sound effects were brilliant! When you consider the humble origins of that sound and the tardis sound, you can't deny the genious behind them! 🀩

                                  @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.

                                      @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?
