Office Desk Movements, Paper Rustling, Object Touching, and Packing Up a Zippered Bag

Clean recording of various sounds that would occur when maneuvering around an office space (specifically a desk) and manipulating common office objects. Recording features lots of paper rustling and sliding across a wooden desk, handling pens and a stapler, stuffing manila folders and plastic binders, and towards the end there are some sounds of small-medium sized personal bag being unzipped and zipped and then being filled with some of the office materials. Should work great for filling in general office noises in a scene or reinforcing actions that involve any of the materials featured in the recording. There should be enough variety to allow you to glean more isolated sounds or just use assortments of layered sounds.

Recorded with an AKG P170 into a TASCAM 208i audio interface at 48kHz/24-bit. Microphone was positioned roughly 1.5 - 2 feet away from the source. There is some slight room reverb present, which is intentional, and should match common office workspaces well. An 85Hz high-pass filter was applied to remove any unintentional, unnatural low-frequency rumbling that may have been picked up during recording.
