Oettle, I did record airplane sounds. I live under the landing pattern for ICT airport and I spent multiple hours recording planes on final approach, as well as going to a small airport and recording the engines of Cessna 150's and 172's. I wish I could have gotten a clean take on a King Air, but the sound bites I had I used with the help of pro-tools to make a loop. Then I wired up a switch box that operated two large warehouse fans. When the part for the airplane came up, I simply ran the sound clip and engaged the fans to create a real feel to it. It through the audience off, they actually thought the big fans were making the noise because I had my PA speakers hidden. R. Oettle,

This applies to all forms of creatuve realms like design too. Computers are easy to use but they take a lot of experimentation out of the process. We lose so many good ideas because of it. It's important to get back to your roots. I mean the innovation of instruments starts with the experimentation you talk about. Without trying something new no new instruments will be born.

Why would that be any less authentic than synthesizing the sound? Dan,
