Here is a neat device that can be used when training alone, though I don’t recommend training alone when doing starts. If you must train alone, then mount a video camera on a tripod and record your start and first 10 or 20 meters. In the old days, sprinters training alone would bring a tape recorder with the commands “On Your Marks.

Then the gun”. It would also help if the spacing of the commands were slightly off, so the sprinter could not anticipate the gun. I still use my old Seiko timing watch that has a gadget which attaches to the watch onto a device for my thumb, similar to an external cable shutter release for photography.

Here is a description of the Starter Pistol App () This app is for the track runner to practice their starts. It features a countdown timer delay to start the 'On Your Mark' sequence, the starter pistol sound fires at the end of the countdown sequence.

Then a new uptimer kicks in to time the actual run. The 'Stop' button on the uptimer is large enough that you really don’t have to look at the phone to hit the button. We also disabled the sleep mode so you can run and not have to worry about wakening your phone.

Here is the sequence of events: • select the time increment of the countdown using the picker wheel (left photo) • the countdown starts (On Your Mark audio starts the countdown) (middle photo) • At about 5 – 2 seconds (varies- we have 4 different timings) you will here an audible “Set” • Then the Pistol fires (audio of course) • Then the Uptimer kicks in. (right photo) There are a couple of things to take into account, the sleep mode is disabled so it would go to sleep mode with the timer running. The stop button is really large so you can hit it without looking. Note: The only thing that will interrupt the timer is a phone call, which will pause the timer. Future upgrades include the ability to save your times with time, date and location. Personally, a neat feature would have a language pack so you can practice the commands.

And like most iPhone apps, it’s only 99 cents! Iomega Fat32 Formatter.

How to Build Mechanical Sound Effects How to Build Sound Effects Devices Advice from - Details about how you can produce my radio adaptation of Frank Capra's classic film. Also available: There are only a few special devices necessary for radio sound effects. I've found it's not the props themselves, but the way they are manipulated that make the difference. For one show, I had Crusaders venturing underneath a volcano.

One scene called for them to wade through an ocean of bones. We tried spooning a bunch of gravel, but it didn't sound right. I turned to my mentor, Cliff Thorsness, CBS's ace sound effects artist in Los Angeles from the 1930s to the 1960s for help. At first he grabbed some hi-lighter pens and moved them in his hand, but it didn't sound big enough for an ocean of bones. Then he went to our gravel box and started manipulating the gravel up against the sides of the wooden box--Wham, that was it!

It's all in how you use the sound effects devices. Here's how I built a number of simple SFX devices we use all the time. CRASH BOX: The crash box is one of the most useful SFX devices in radio drama. I've used it for car crashes, planets being destroyed, ghostly clunking about and also as a contributing background noise under medieval wars and gun battles.

It's also a fine first part for doing a thunder-crack (followed by the rumble of a 'thunder sheet' being flexed--see below). Some of the old time radio shows had crash boxes that resembled a small metal trash can on a crank. I've found a much simpler version that is easily manipulated in a number of ways. I use a popcorn can, the kind Christmas popcorn comes in (11 inches high and 10 inches in diameter--a bit larger than a basketball) and fill it with junk.
