Michael Raphael sent me a slew of files for the production of this HowSound…. No, make that a heaping pile of files…. No, actually, I think you could call it a mountain of audio.
Here’s a list of only a few of the recordings of typewriters he sent. Notice the variety of mic locations, typewriter actions, and repetition. Talk about meticulous.
