Dead Cello

A dead cello-like sound from a seventh grader trying to make a sample pack.

The story

I decided to try and make a sample pack from a school cello using a bow that’s rosin-deprived and I recorded it in my room with things going on in the background. It sounds like a cello dying and a neighbor moaning in the background.

  • Amazing

    Never seen a 7th grader record a sample pack before, but it's really well done. I love the hollow "dead" sound the cello has, and it's perfect for ambient compositions.

  • Great idea well executed!

    I don't think I'd seen a sample pack of a cello with a rosin-less bow before, and it's really a great idea. This is well recorded and can be pretty expressive too.
    You won't find a ton of different sounds or customisations, but what you do get is pretty much unique.
