Oh yah I fixed the links on my profile if you want to visit my YouTube's, you can also visit them from my signature if you haven't noticed.

Be my guest, I just back from a 200 meter dash(around something like that) I am getting ready for track

I saw a documantary years ago, where a guy contact mic'd a guy wire on a radio mast then hit the wire with a heavy wrench. Then he sped up the recording to get the "peow" component for a laser weapon. I think it may have been for the original Star Wars.

That's true. Sound designer, Ben Burrt, was responsible for creating that and many Star Wars sounds.

I think we can attribute the slinky to him. But the practice of using piezo transducers on long metal objects is commonplace in the sound design world
