ASMR, anyone?

Hello,
I came across a nice video on YT in which a girl is just tapping some different materials with her nails. It's called ASMR and MANY people listen to it. The use of this method reduces their sleep problems. I found that after a long mixing or playing session, listening to this type of tapping is very relaxing for my ears and gives me a kind of light pleasure.
Anyone else know / listen to ASMR videos?

    As I was playing one of my all time favourite samples through tardigrain last night, I realised that it was my ASMR...

  • I want one of those ASMR ear microphones.
    But to plug it into Impaktor (and Drambo in the near future) and hit it with all sorts of stuff :lol:

    I made one from a mannequin head, silicon ears, and two omni headset microphones plugged into xlr phantom power adapters. I just finished it 2 days ago, going to try it out in the next few days . I’ll post some pictures when i get a chance. I’ll evetually put higher quality mics in.

    Binaural recording is really cool, Tchad Blake uses the neumann head as overheads mics, and he has quite a few binaural recordings that he’s done.

  • Lol. Certainly. I like the ASMR videos that aren’t thirst traps. (They may be difficult to find. 😁)

  • Wow! Awesome, @mrufino1
    Interested on how it will sound :smile:

  • Like this for instance. Totally not a thirst trap. Tho the dog is rather cute... maybe she might like me... if she got to know me... 🥺 (i has a biscuit!)

  • I prefer asmr voices to noises

    But as this is a music forum, here you are:

    I love blow dryer sounds. It’s rather white noise than ASMR but somewhat the same as well. I also love hair dryer in real life lol the noises and the warm air are incredibly relaxing to me

    I begin to understand why I love some glitches synthesis drums so much. They called these sensations “tingles”. Well, with app like Seekbeats or Fractal Bits, or any *Scapers, apeSofts, etc. I had tingles and I wasn’t aware of it... 🤪

  • When i was a young child, my father used to do work at home. He was sitting at the dinner table with an old fashioned typewriter. It felt very relaxed when i putted my head flat on the table with one ear. The tapping on the typewriter could be felt throughout the whole table.
    I felt many times asleep on sunday afternoons with sport commentaries on TV. Especially the Tour de France.

  • It's a major thing with the kiddies.

  • ASMR was niche a few years ago, now it’s mainstream. Hundreds of YouTube artists, celebrity ASMR, and there’s even porn lol. And I’ve seen folks make ASMR sampled beats too. There’s something for everyone. At the end of the day it’s just about soothing sounds

    I must live outside this world, because I never heard about ASMR before few days ago.
    I can’t figure out how porno ASMR could be, but ASMR beats sounds really interesting.
    Anyway, I like this thing a lot. I prefer tapping, scratching is not for me.
    I’m afraid I’m already addicted... fortunately is free.

  • What's a thirst trap? I think i probably get what you're getting at but to be sure...?

    And I still always accidentally call it DMSR, after the Prince song (1999 album). Dance, music, sex, rrrrromance * linn drum fill *

  • Why is everyone whispering?

  • This isn't exactly ASMR but it has lots of great sounds and is very soothing and aesthetically pleasing.

    nicely done

    Wait until you discover the asmr vids where girls lick the screen. It’s the opposite of relaxing.

  • Absolutely cannot comprehend this genre of audio.

    It makes me want to bang my head on every wall around 😂

    Please do. And make a three hour video of it. This could be very relaxing for others. Bonus points if your cat is next to you cleaning its butt, suitably mic'd of course.

  • Far from the thirst trap stuff, there is some much more classy ASMR content out there, such as this one. Not sure I get any goosebumps or whatever you're meant to get, but it is quite relaxing, not just because of the sounds, but because I enjoy watching people who're at the top of their profession:

  • what kind of sick mind would listen tomthis with pleasure ??

  • The whole ASMR thing is just bizarre audio fetishism.

  • This quite fun ASMR pun, mind the levels though...

    I really enjoyed this today while waiting for my phone meeting to start, nice one crafty 👍

    Personally, I am a streamer looking for a good mic, and a good ASMR mic. Prefer one to be able to do both, but I can order 2 if necessary. What features should I be looking for?

    I think if I were to set up doing this sort of thing now I don’t think I’d bother with a binaural approach. If it’s not a subject that you need to walk around, or it walks around you, but rather it stays where it is and you stay where you are in relation to it, that makes it simpler to just use a proper stereo mic array, and there’s plenty of ways of achieving that.

    Getting a pair of SDCs would be a start, along with a pair of stands and a bracket, which will let you mount them in one of the established stereo arrangements such as NOS or ORTF. However, those latter two although well established are not really what I’d consider ideal for close-miking of a small subject. With a proper NOS or ORTF arrangement, and a small subject on a chair or tabletop, you’re actually likely to place the source signal in a dead area between the mics. At normal distances for NOS / ORTF there wouldn’t be a dead spot.

    Then you can use one or both of the SDCs as your streaming mic (I myself livestream on youtube with a Sontronics STC-10 mic, which if I’m directly on-beam picks up all my breathing in detail as well as what I say).

    Another approach for a stereo sound field is to use a mid-side approach, whether a single mid-side mic, or two mics, one for the mid, and the other for side, and in the latter case they don’t have to be similar mics at all.
