For my horror short I need a big library of well recorded animal sounds!

I need lions, tigers, bears oh my, alligators, maybe even some high pitched animal bird calls?

I have to layer sounds to create a unique creature growl/scream


I've been looking around nad not quite sure what the best for hte money is

sorry if this has already been covered in an older thread, but i appreciate any help in advance very much

thank you!

! oh and i also need an awesome library of shotgun sounds, blood splats etc. I will be adding my own foley with water, squishing tomatoes, whatever i can coem up with for blood and guts, but a library will be quite helpful

thanks again!

Its Foley not foley.


Yes I know of great libraries of all the above but they are private and sounds out of them are $$$$$

But there are a bunch of decent animal sounds in ANIMAL TRACKS, I think that is Hollywood Edge, but might be Sound Ideas?
There are a lot of guns in SOS, one disk of shots and one of handling.
You can try Cornell for birds. They have a huge collection. I know you can buy them individually but not sure if there are collections for sale.

For all animal sounds you can also talk to the Nature Sound Society. THey have a very large collection.

THese are all professional libraries and you are looking at around $100/ disk for commercial libraries and possibly $50 - $75 per sound from some of the others.

If you have a serious budget I can point you to someone who can probably get you anything you want animal wise. She would be more reasonable than some of the sources, but still not cheap.

Depending on where you are you might just go record the gunshots. Hunting season is here, or close (I'm not a hunter) and you could go out on a hunt and record.

Sound dogs is also a good place to start. If you find a bunch of stuff that you are looking for you can note the collection it came from and you may be able to just buy the disk.

Also the ProTools post sound section is a good place to ask, especially if you have some sounds to trade. Actually any post sound forum is a good place to ask. DVX has a bunch of sound people here but nothing compared to the DUC or the sound designers list.
 
Also for the "blood and guts" search under "viscera" on places like Sound Dogs. Most of what you will want will be tagged with that probably.
 
Obviously a bit DIY, but give freesound.org a try. Maybe you'll find something there under Creative Commons, before needing to pay.
