Hi,

I am still searching for a specific typewriter sound -- the one I heard
in the background of the video of the blender tutorial.

It sounds like a pure mechanical typewriter. And it sounds like
one is typeing onto a paper, which was put into the typewriter with
a little gap between the paper and the rubber platen roller (hopefully
I got these words right...), so each hit onto one of the keys is followed 
with a little "PENG!" (or should I call it "BANG!") when the type
hits the paper and hammers it against the roller.
Little literarty "shoots" somehow. The incarnation of rhetorical power
in some way...;)

Does someone know of more typewrite sounds? I searched the net and
found another source but the sound wasn't there...

Keep hacking!
Best regards,
