This might be stupid/left field.

but im looking for some recordings, of both vuvuzela ambiences...and also,

maybe a recording of a band of people playing some rhythms on that instrument??

hoping people that do post production might be able to help out???

Well, I would stick a mic in a beehive/wasp nest, then hit the nest with a bloody great lump of wood, and those angry buzzing buggers will sound something like a world cup stadium full of vuvuzelas. Gawd, the importers have already got them on the market here in Sydney (vuvuzelas, that is, not angry bees, but same thing/result anyway....) Sorry Jamil I can't help you more! Why not, *cough* record some of the world cup stadium ambiences off a broadcast, try and grab a bit where the presenters have shut their yaps for a bit and do some creative looping?

i have already created ambiences myself..which sound more hi quality than news.
however, the cool ensembles where they walk around 8 abreast and blow randoml..different story...also something i could clear wouold be good....funnily enough everyone hates the vuvuzela so much, i would find it funny to be sued if u sampled something off the news.

Hah, just noticed this too - a free vuvuzela filter plug-in for Logic (seriously):

Maybe if you use Logic Jamil you could check this out and see what frequencies are being filtered etc, could help you create a synthesised version if need be.

would prefer a real recording, with other organic sounds if possible....

i've seen the logic and Waves plugins, already invented, which i personally find hilarious, also posted my question on Sluts....see if any post ppl have recordings!

Cheers steve :-)

buy a slab of vuvus yourself...how expensive can something that shitty be?

get a bunch of mates around and get the vuvu band together, play and record exactly what you need.
