Last year my son's high school robot club did an 3-D animation. I wrote and performed the music, then we did the foley sounds (laser blasts, whale songs, construction equipment, etc.) Had fun doing it and they won a regional award for the film.

Do it yourself and have some fun!!

Link???

Sorry, if I want C64 or NES sounds, I can dig out emus or even the real units (have 3 NES lying around, and 3 working Comodore C64 and C128, too).

My focus is not the pre 70ies stuff, but really... listen to some sounds used in the TV series Viper, the videogames Turrican (soundtrack CD by Chris Huelsbeck), the Opener from Tunnel B1, Babylon 5 (yeah, they also used those cheezy sounds), Andromeda, etc.

I guess that'S really "Universal Pictures" after all, and as there was a link mentioned to those samples further up, I guess I go with this. Unless somebody can confirm those "cheezy sounds" being in BestService Blue/Red/Black/Studio Box. Cause here I simply get more for the money.

Star Trek: Sound Effects From The Original TV Soundtrack

Distorted_Mastermind · Sun Sep 17, 2006 5:28 am

One of the coolest things about sound design is how random it can be. Some things I've had pretty good sucess with is taking part of a sound, copy that sound and reverse the second part, copy that as many times as needed to make it longer (or time stretch). Then try pitch shifting, but not straight across. Sometimes it works better to get wild with it going up and down and other times a more steady shift. Then take that and add some distortion or a high rez filter to mangle it even more and blend it together. If it's kind of dull try wah wah or flange.
That is a pretty random example, but also an example that will give many different results depending on the sound and use of effects. Some things turn out good and others not so much so, but overall it seems to get better with experience.
The sample cd is the easiest way though.

I did see a disk (that was out of stock at the time) for something like Forgotten world sounds and another for Hanna-Barbera type fx...

I THINK it may have been Best-Service or EastWest

USB Xtreme FX is loaded with all sorts of high quality sci-fi sounds. Everything from swooshes to doors to mechanical drones (pretty much everything imaginable).

Tons 'o fun.
