Shooting Star Sound?

[DJSolo]

I was wondering if anyone here has this very cool shooting star sound FX or if you know of any Sample CDs that have this FX. I just gotta have this FX...

If anyone knows of any good CDs for these type of FX sounds please post them.

Example 1
Example 2

There's a preset that kind of resembles the first example on the Roland JP 8000. I don't know if that helps. It shouldn't be to hard to program a sound like that on any half decent synth plugin nowadays.

Shooting star sound? No such thing...

They fly around in space, in vacuum. Without any air there is no sound.

sounds like either a fast (SID-style) arpeggio (and sounds a lot like one I made some time ago, here http://www.flstudio.com/gol/Glider.mp3) or could also be an additive synth

Albino or Albino 2 have FX like these...

Listen to them in this demo i made for Albino

Actually that's not quite right.

Shooting star.
(a) (Astron.) A starlike, luminous meteor, that, appearing
suddenly, darts quickly across some portion of the sky,
and then as suddenly disappears, leaving sometimes, for a
few seconds, a luminous train, -- called also falling star
.

Note: Shooting stars are small cosmical bodies which
encounter the earth in its annual revolution, and which
become visible by coming with planetary velocity into
the upper regions of the atmosphere. At certain
periods, as on the 13th of November and 10th of August,
they appear for a few hours in great numbers,
apparently diverging from some point in the heavens,
such displays being known as meteoric showers, or star
showers. These bodies, before encountering the earth,
were moving in orbits closely allied to the orbits of
comets. See Leonids, Perseids.

Shooting stsrs or meteors DO in fact make a sound when they interract with an atmosphere, though they wouldn't make a sound like the one he is seeking. Probably more of a roaring firey sound with a high pitched whine. Larger ones also have been known to create a sonic boom as they fall through the earths atmosphere and become 'bolides', very bright meteors.

They also supposedly make a sound on radio but i have no idea what that sounds like. Maybe it sounds something like what he is after? Nevertheless Albino is the synth for those kinds of sounds. Im sure others are too

I agree with that you would probably seek some sort of flame sound, then a "poof"(50's camera bulb blowing?) followed by some sparkly chimes.

Cinematic Impact dist. by M-Audio has a bunch of flames that are good. (there's also Cinematic Ambience from that series which i like too)
but will you spend the 50 bucks just for one sample? unlikely.
I recommend some sites like Sonomic, Sound Dogs, Tape Gallery House and a million others for finding sfx to buy online, pay per one sfx and you're done. I havent done this yet, but I know these companies have great stuff.

This is a recording of a burner - not like the tinkle in the FX example above - but sounds more like something entering the earths atmosphere - or it sounds like a burner

Lady J, hi! Good to see you. You're entirely right, and saved me a whole lotta typing. =^_^=

The main radio effect of a large meteor is "skip" -- that is, the ionized trail left in the upper atmosphere by the passage and vaporization of the meteoroid acts as a radio-wave reflector, making it possible to pick up distant broadcast stations for a few seconds to, I don't know, maybe a minute or so. Seems to happen with Citizen's Band and AM radio, probably shortwave too but I can't remember.

IIRC a static-like radio crackling has been reported to be associated with meteoric spitzensparken events (or MSEs, as we professional clothespin repairmen call them)... but last I heard, there was some dispute over whether there was a real connection.

For some very interesting space sounds, some of which (such as the November 2000 Leonid meteors) are really electromagnetic phenomena translated into audio form, check out http://www.esa.int/esaSC/SEMLAJWO4HD_index_0.html

Ooops, I think I was thinking of a meteor. English is not my mother's tongue, so I beg your pardon.

Anyway, of the many many shooting stars I've seen, none of them were audible.

Now back on topic: any synth that can apply ADSR to pitch should do.

Without any air there is no sound.

Quite right..!

And don't ya just hate it when you're watching a sci-fi movie, and there's a space battle going on. Then a ship explodes and you can hear the explosion..?

Completely ruins it for me.

[ChimeraMan]

Guys, the author of the thread is possibly a DJ? The whole theory of there being no sound without air is going to go completely over his head. The poor chap just wants his shooting star effect, compressed to f**k over the top of his "choon". No doubt, we'll hear it coming from the boot of his hot-hatch at some point.

sure, they should also remove the background music, because you can't hear it in space

meanwhile the music & sounds were the only good things in the latest star wars episodes.
