I might need some suction pops for a new project in the next few weeks so I thought I’d grab some of the suction darts from the dart guns I recorded a few weeks back and record the sound of them being stuck on a surface and then pulled off. Glass seemed to be the best surface of choice as the darts stuck very easily. I recorded a bunch of sounds trying different angles and effects to see how many different sounds I could get. I think I will need to get something with a larger suction cup as well to compare the different sounds.
While I was at it I got some wide clear tape and recorded sticking it to the glass and pulling it off. This was very effective as I got the pure sound of the tape and not the ripping of any surface it was stuck to. I also scrunched up the tape as I used it up. I’m not sure how useful this sound will be, but I never know how someone is going to use sounds so I guess they can all be useful.

Funky dart gun
While I was at it I thought I may as well record the sounds of the dart gun firing. One of the advantage of working in a office full of geeks is that there are plenty of toys around, so I had quite a large collection of dart guns to choose from, so of course I recorded them all. They all have slightly different sounds from the different firing mechanisms they use. I am not sure why anyone would ever need a large collection of different dart gun sounds, but you never know what people will need.
