How to make the "suspense" sfx?
  • RikerRiker

    Sorry guys for the pathetic description. I'll explain, since words have no place in the audio part of the forum - here is the sound of what I mean by "suspense" sound effect;

    What kind of instrument is this, since I would like to recreate it. It leaves me in suspense of "somethings bout to happen" but not in a cheesy way...

    Not sure how these sfx were made. Perhaps two sound elements.

    1. isolate sound of metal gates closing, add lots of reverb for the tail
    2. drone pad from a synth or you may find in sound library

    Never thought of closing gate sound, it really sounds similar! I got an impression it was more train brake squeal...now I need to sift through some audio libraries and try to find a way to replicate...

    I wonder how they did it back in those days without the ease of digital editing...also, I think many of those sound effects were tailored to the scene/camera movement
