Thread: Sound Effects - how do you use them?

Tweet

Just wondering how everybody treats the audio portion of their haunt. Do you use pre-recorded tracks? Do you have Black Sabbath playing? Michael Jackson's Thriller? Monster Mash? Death Metal?
Something else?

I'm basically taking a poll here about who would or would not be interested in a three-hour-long sound effects recording. I'm not trying to sell it.....YET! Just wondering if there is an interest in that sort of thing if you were to come across it somewhere. I know there's a few sound effects CD's out there, but most of those are just people screaming, or the sound of a dentist's drill, or a cat screeching or some really bad mumbling and groaning. This recording is WAY different. It's more of a backdrop. It's a soundtrack to your haunt.

Would you be interested?

I would pay this guy money for his soundscapes, but I have no idea how to get them from him. I can't figure out if he's selling them or not though. His work is GENIUS.

We are planning on taking the store bought cds and recording the tracks we like on a loop.

I get lots of stuff off of the CDs, but I also do searches for free stuff and use Macintosh's Garage Band music software to make my own tracks... and of course there is always asking on here since we have many members that can do this sort of thing really, really well, have a huge library and would do it for free.

Looks like he has 2 that have download links that they are allowing free download of,......the rest are listen only & I don't see anywhere that they are offering sales of.......to bad they are pretty cool.

Would love to hear a sample of your creativity. 3 hrs might be too long unless it changes a bit enough through out. I find a 20-30 min per track long enough & loop-able.
I have a large library of stuff to draw on, I use some sound tracks from artists like Nox Arcana, Midnight Syndicate, Lustmord & a few that I stumbled on I think a lot have never heard of before.I also clip some areas & mix my own & some mixes I create from scratch to the prop or area of display.

I have been doing custom mixes for members here recently for free & love the challenge, I am not a professional in any way, but seem to have a nitch for it
