This week we have a new library of laundry mangles from Detunized, A Sound Effect are offering a free USO collection with any purchase and Undertone are offering 25% off all their libraries for a very limited period.

Detunized Release Laundry Mangles Sound Library

Laundry Mangles features the sounds of domestic machines that once were used in many public washhouses. Basically, the weight of a huge box filled with stones was used to press big pieces of linen, bed sheets or towels wound on rollers below. Early models were operated by hand which was very exhausting and soon the machines were equipped with electric motors and belt drives.

For this particular library Detunized captured 5 different models of various ages that are still in use. They have tried to record these mangles so that any imaginable perspective and operational state has been covered. This includes full runs, driven by belt drive and crank shaft as well as protective grating handlings, idling motors plus many more details. 

Due to the complex mechanical interactions between iron cast and wood components Laundry Mangles forms a comprehensive collection of heavy squeaks, moans and rumbles that can be used as starting point for various foley appliances far beyond the original source of the sounds.

Laundry Mangles is available in three formats:
