Does anyone have the big ben effect? Or at least know where it is located Because I am doing a new sound pack for the sound machine and would like to put it in.

[Matt]

I think either Radio 3 or Radio 4 use it at some point during the day. You could record it from there, but I'm sure it can't be that hard to find on the net.

[cafemambo2]

i have it give me your email or send me a private message and i'll send it to you mate.

there is no "effect" that they use. there is no button.
There are bbc maintained microphones by the bell

thats why sometimes on the hour on radio 4 theres that pregnant pause before it strikes. if you want to hear tape it just listen to radio4 one day

[David]

Why would anyone want the sound effect of Big Ben anyway? It's like having a sound effect of the pips - they only work if used at the right time, in which case you might aswell steal the source from Radio 4.

On the subject of big ben- we tried to highjack the bongs for Hospital radio on new years- and the connection failed!!!!- i planned to record the midnight bongs the night before- but they do the news headlines over them.

radio 4 at midnight is when the bongs happen every day

Could you not of stuck the TV on BBC one at midnight and taken the bongs from there?

[Jonny Hoare]

Tv is not connected to desk.

frantic filling and sending the producer out with his phone followed

[David]

[Jonny Hoare]

we tried that. our reporter was to busy being pissed

The sound pak is on my site, if anyone wants to download it, take it appart etc. you may do soHere
I suggest downloading it straight to your soundpaks directory as it isn't in self extracting format (those who know about computers will know what I am on about).

[Sidders]

Well of course it's not!

Ive spotted your problem, you had double file extensions, but you probably can't see that on your computer, you'll have to change one of the options in windows, can't remember where though, probably control panel.

[Jonny Hoare]

sorry assistant producer, he's my usual friday night producer

[Funky Drummer]

A couple of the producers at work (and the PC actualy aswell) are sooooooo hot
