Smartphone Touchscreen Tapping, Texting or Messaging, Gaming

Clean, dry recording of a smartphone touchscreen being rapidly tapped as if a message was being written on it. Could just as easily be used as sounds from using (writing, playing mobile games, browsing, etc) a tablet or really any relatively small touchscreen device. Tapping speed and length between taps varies throughout the recording, but overall I tried to make it sound as natural as possible while still offering options for more granular placement.

Recorded with an AKG P170 into a TASCAM 208i audio interface at 48kHz/24-bit. Microphone was positioned 5-6 inches away from source. A 120Hz high-pass filter was applied to remove unnecessarily pronounced bass frequencies.

Compressing your sound and removing the noise it can be very useful for touchsounds.
