With the rain continuing to fall here today and not being able to venture outside so easily (or complete some of your requests due to the weather) I’ve been getting creative in the studio today. Here are some of the 43 new sound effects just added:
Pig grunts
I wanted to create some cartoon animals today so set about recording my voice mimicking some horses and pigs, with the aim to pitch them up and play around with them in Adobe Audition. Once I got the sounds in the editor and increased the pitch, I realised they didn’t really work. However the pig grunts (my voice) seemed to sound realistic when pitched down. In fact they ended up working so well, I’ve added them to the library.
Cartoon water drips
As a kid I used to love flicking my cheek while making a water drip sound with my mouth. So not wanting to waste my youthful talents, I recorded a few of these today and then had a play around with them in Audition. First I used the pitch-shifter to raise the pitch and then added some simple wide stereo chorus to them. I also increased to top-end with some EQ just to give the sounds a bit of brightness. I think they sound pretty good and they can be found in our cartoon library.
Water bottle
I love recording water as you never get the same sound twice. So just to beat the rain, I filled a large 1 litre bottle of water up today and performed loads of shakes, falling down stairs and other actions. If you need free bottled water sounds (well you might) they are here.
