Thud_4_Dry.wav

Thuds

Thud_4 is short in length -- 25 milliseconds. This is the dry, pure thud, with no reverb. Try adding some silence of varying lengths after it and forming a loop -- makes a nice rotor sound for a helicopter. It has more high-frequency component to it than any of the lower-numbered Thud's.

A thud is an impulsive but very short low frequency sweep downward, so short that you cannot discern the sweep itself. I have several thuds in this pack, each sounding rather different and having a different duration and other characteristics. They come in a mono dry variation (very short), and in a variation with stereo reverb added. All are 48KHz 32bit floating point format. Each is completely synthetic for purity, created in Cool Edit Pro. These can be useful for sound sweetening in film, etc., or as the basis for a new kick-drum sample (no beater-noise).

Yes, it's fine to post links to your derived works here, and I'm sure lots of folks might follow the link over time. I'm always interested to see how my stuff gets used, also. By the way, this sound (and others in this pack) tend to have a lot of very low frequency content, so if you use it in an environment where you are listening without full spectrum sound reproduction, you might miss what it is doing to your finished product. So that's just a fair warning to be sure you listen with speakers that can produce ultra-low frequencies so you don't have people reacting strangely or thinking ill or your use of such effects. Good luck!
