Westgatesounds.net has released Birds, Bugs and Cats - a small sample pack of source sounds to use, mangle and just generally do whatever the hell you want to do with them.


Birds, Bugs and Cats (or, Why I Can't Sleep)

Now that the warmer weather is here and we leave the windows open, I cannot sleep.

At around 8 PM every night either an insect or some aquatic creature starts making noise. Later, they are usually joined by more. This goes on until about Midnight.

But then, around 3 AM - a single bird awakens and decides to serenade the neighborhood.

So I decided to sample them. It is not like I am sleeping anyway....

Also included in this sample pack are the raw samples of Damien, the world's most evil cat.

17 samples of varying lengths, 240 Mb - $5

More info on the individual samples and audio demos are available here:

I added another audio demo to the Anomaly XX page that uses the Birds sounds. So now there are two Anomaly XX audio demos that use sounds from this sample pack. Just look for the demos with (with critters) in their names....

This is a great little collection – especially Damien's performances!

If it were easy, anybody could do it!

Damien is the only cat I know that growls and purrs at the same time.... At one point there he emits almost human sounds....

We used to have a cat that was part Maine Coon. She had a unique purr... Brrrrft - that is the closest approximation I can make in print....

Wow, if you search google for Damien cat he now shows up as the first image in an image search....

I sampled some of the birds around here during the day, so I added 5 more files to this.

Now there are 22 samples and the size is 270 Mb

I have added 5 more files of Birds sounds - 117 Mb more samples for a total of 387 Mb now....

A word about the newly added files. There is one there that features either a morning, pre-dawn bird or an evening bird - the other four are samples of the daytime birds around here and there are a lot of them.

You can further process those samples and remove some of the background for a more solitary bird experience. I left the others in as a contrast to the mostly single or dual bird samples that appeared previously.

If I add more to this it will be either pre-dawn or evening birds, as they are easier to isolate from the background.....

Post

I will be updating this again with more files soon. There are 2 more samples so far of just single or dual birds from the early, pre-dawn morning. Another 42 Mb of samples or so...

I will wait until I have more to add before I update it though....

I take it your 3am bird is a mocking bird? They're psychotic freaks. I seem to be followed by one of those everywhere I go to bed... :hihi: My Maine Coon's purr is pretty loud, depending on whether she's working on a hair ball collection in her throat, and whether or not she's got her mouth hanging open to nibble on your petting hand :-) Open mouth purrs are funny.

I have no idea what kind of bird it is.... This morning, it was out there when I got up at 12:30 AM.

You should record your cat. Damien's purrs and growls not only were used in Anomaly VIII but also some of him got into Anomaly XIX - A Night at the Asylum.

I keep trying to record my other cats (they all make different noises) but by the time I get the recorder turned on and ready they always stop.....
