Thread: Swamp Sounds

Tweet

I'm trying to find a soundtrack of scary swamp sounds for my haunted Louisiana bayou scenario, but all I can find are of frogs croaking and babbling brooks. Not creepy or scary at all! Does anyone have any sound effects that might work, and would include things like large splashes, far off screams, howls, owls hooting, chanting like during a voodoo ritual, etc? Or, do you know where I could find this sort of thing? I have no way to record the music myself, but if there is someplace that a recording can be downloaded onto a CD, I can do that.

I sure would appreciate any feedback or suggestions you can offer.

Hmmmm, let me cruz thru my SFX files, I believe I have something close to what your looking for, or can mix one up !

How soon do you need it? I could probably make something for you

Just checked in here. I do enjoy a good swamp project! LOL!

Here you are- a custom track I made just for you. Hope this swamps your senses! Loop the playback in a cd player and there you have it. You can click the link to play it, and right click the link and choose 'save taget as' to download it.

Everyone grab it while it's hot and available!

EDIT- see the final version link a few posts down.

Enjoy.

WoW AWESOME, that came out great !! Love the subtle instrumental in the background adding that edgy-eerie feeling. I can imagine what this will sound like in a swamp themed haunt setup.

Haven't had time to play with this my self yet, found my basic animal & background sounds and my "jungle drums" & witch doctor ritual / chants, but can't really feel it would be something you would hear in a swamp or Louisiana Bayou...... more like a haunting sound of a creepy banjo deep in the background, the sound echoing of a "swamp monster" screams & a few water splash sounds......

Dan, I'd say you hit the mark & created the perfect Louisiana Bayou haunt sound track !!

If you don't do this professionally, then you have one hell of a knack for mixing haunt SFX !!

I have a great haunting sound of a loon that you might use to add in to the other sounds.

You guys are the BEST, and this is exactly why this website is far and away the most helpful and fun. Shockwave, I love the piece you sent. It seriously gives me all ofthe creepy haunting and animal sounds that I've been loking for. I would love to add the lonely sound of the Loon that Halloweiner suggested, but would love to be able to download it to a CD.

Ok, here's the final version with the Loon. This one is done! Very good loon sound- it was must add. I eq'd some stuff a bit too. It's less fatiguing to listen to now as well.

I do audio professionally- I'm an audio engineer and musician. These are fun to do. Hope everyone enjoys them. Consider it the treat bag when knocking on my door. I don't always have the time but when I do, I'll try to help out.

Awesome. Could you imagine being out in a swamp with all that going on? lol.
