Title: Isn't there a good lightning/electric/electricity sound?
Post by: Neon_Knight on January 20, 2014, 04:22:10 PM
I've checked in OGA and pdsounds and there isn't any GPLv2-compatible lightning/electric/electricity sounds. FTR, public domain sounds are still GPLv2-compliant.

Does anyone know about a GPLv2-compliant lightning/electric/electricity sound?

I'm asking this because some audio replacements (tim_elect for example, which is a lightning bolt) require to be electric.

I thought pop fizzing noises make great electricity fizzle standins.  I'm already doing some fizzing use for the lightning gun hit noise.  

A lightning strike on the under hand will never be caputred clearly. It will always be distorted. While there ARE thunderstorm sounds in Pdsounds,  OA's lightning gun firing noise was self-sampled from a real severe thunderstorm.
