The Video Game Sound Source Thread by Benjamin at 6:02 AM EDT on June 29, 2015
It's like The VGM/Others Instrument Source Thread, only here we're looking for sound effects.
Here's some I found:
Yoshi's Island -Rarefiction's A Poke in the Ear With a Sharp Stick (2_P-SHCLACK, 12_WWWISHAU)
Luigi's Mansion -Best Service Gigapack (Probably a few sounds in there, they do use a few sounds for the soundtrack such as JX P Sound3) -Spectrasonics Distorted Reality (MENTAL) -Big Fish Prosonus ProFX (I know they used DRIP SINGLE)
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door -Northstar Hollywood Edge Vol.1 (Hammer sounds, birds chirping sound, some others) -E-MU Emulator II (Fuzzy bounce sound, some cartoony SFX) -Zero-G Ambient (Uses MONOLITH for some Shadow Queen-related sounds, and the pre-Final Battle ambience is part of COSMIC#1)
New Super Mario Bros. DS -Big Fish Prosonus ProFX (Blockhopper-related sounds)
Super Paper Mario -E-MU Emulator II (Fuzzy sounds, some shakuhachi sound I found that I don't know where it's used)
Super Mario Galaxy -Best Service Gigapack (SYN:4rtt, SYN:Cpd2tt, SYN:Fantasia3, and probably a few others) -Spectrasonics Distorted Reality (ARCTICWIND, BRIMSTONE, THRUSTERS, INCOMING) -Big Fish Prosonus ProFX (DRIP SINGLE, BOING MED CR, BOING PLUCK, BOING SHOR.1)
Super Mario 3D World -Big Fish Prosonus ProFX (Sounds reused from Galaxy, ZIP PWANNG C) -Roland Fantom (either X or G, IDK, they use AirPluck for some sounds)
Is that sound ripped from a game? I definitely heard a more "dry" version of that scream somewhere. Sounds very familiar. The WAV you provided is a mix of at least two different sounds. I may be wrong but that female scream COULD come from the same sample collection that contains other, well known and overused female screams but I'm unable to find it atm. From the top of my head, one of them is used in HL2 as ambient sound (Ravenholm) played at half speed.
Yes, the sample is ripped from Silent Hill (PS1). This is the closest I've been to any research into it whatsoever (your mention of a "dry" version that is). I've looked through countless libraries, but nothing even remotely close to that sound.. Let me know if you find out more!
Wow, thanks for creating this thread! Here's a sound effect I've been looking for. It's an dark stab like effect I have heard at least 5 times in video games, but I can only cite two instances: the most recent one is Pokemon XY, where it was used in Team Flare's themes:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE4nrBRGHCA it starts at the beginning and fades away.
and also in Yu-Gi-Oh tag force years ago:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvrviVQzcP0 it starts around 0:10.
Speaking of wind waker does anyone here happen to know where the sound effect that plays when you hit an enemy comes from? It's just this one for now as I'm dying to know, desperately need it. Thanks.
