Hi all.
I hope everyone is well and had a very Merry Christmas.
I need help. (people have been telling me this for years.) ;D
I am trying to find a certain sound for surprise. I have tried many sound fx sites with no joy.
I know the sound I want but have been unable to find it. It is used in 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'.
The only way I can describe it is- It's orchestral, fairly high in tone, is a short burst and is on one note (I think).
I would be most grateful if someone could, please, point me in the right direction to attain this sound.
Thank you and Have a Happy New Year.
Jay.
you mean a violin stab?
Like the stabbing scene is psycho
Tell me what scene it is in and I'll rip the sound off my MP & Holy Grail DVD.
Damn, Calin, that's got to hurt. What happened to Leafshade? ;)
No. The Psycho sound was more 'EE, EE, EE, EE'.
The sound I am looking for is more 'DAAAAAAAAA' with a bit of vebrato.
Ascovel. I wish I could remember. I think it's when they meet Tim the necromancer and he tells Arthur his name.
I think he says something like "They call me....TIM!" and then you get the 'DAAAAAAAAA' sound.
If you know the sound I am talking about and could do a rip of it then that would be fantastic.
Edit- I'm not sure but I think it also happens when they meet 'The knights who say NI'.
Thanks for all your help.
Jay
Is it in here somewhere? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D4Ud8-jric
Hi Poltergeist.
Yes. It is at about 1:24 just after the knight says he wants a shrubbery.
However I seem to remember it sounding better than that. ::)
If I could get that sound though, or something close, I might be able to do something with it through 'Adobe Audition'.
Thanks for your help.
Jay.
I've checked the scene with Tim and the sound is not there. :(
Tell me if you locate it.

Sorry Ascovel.
I was wrong. ::)
If you look at my post after Poltergeist's it is actualy where Arthur, not Brave Sir Robin, meets 'The knights who say NI'.
They say "We want a shrubbery" and then you get the sound.
My fault. I was sure it happened with Tim.
My appologies.
Jay.
Ah, so it's only at one point in the movie?
Do you want me to record that bit from the DVD or do you think it won't be too different from that clip on youtube?

Sorry Ascovel.
I thought that it happened more times than that.
If you think you can capture that sound, and it is better than Youtube, please do.
Otherwise. I will just have to find one that fits.
I do not want to put you through any trouble.
Let me explain what I am trying to do.
It is kind of a 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' moment.
I have a character who is rather dark and mysterious.
The player has a convesation with him and it turns out that his name, rather than being evil, is infact 'Tim'.
I then want a sound to follow this revelation as 'DAAAAAAA'.
Maybe you could suggest another sound.
Many Many Thanks.
Jay.
Thta does remind me of the Metal gear solid surprise sound (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P5qbcRAXVk) actually :D
How about this sound from Flash Gordon (1980):

I used it myself in the Frantic Franko Demo.
Star Trek TOS had some funny sound like that too I remember.
They're not exactly the same, but you could try one of the 'Big Hit' Stings from Danse Macabre from this site:

Alternatively, search SoundDogs (http://www.sounddogs.com/) for an appropriate sound effect. You don't have to buy it, as that's only for sound effects of a higher bitrate.
Hi all.
Sorry I've not replied for a while but I have been away from a comp. (got the shakes real bad. ;)).
Ascovel.
That sound should do the job nicely.
I had to laugh when I saw it was from the film Flesh Gordon. I remember seeing that and thought, at the time, how funny it was.
Don't know if anyone here saw it but it's kind of a comedy, soft porn, rip off of FLASH Gordon.
His cock-shaped space craft made me laugh.
Poltergeist.
Thanks for the soundDogs site I have put that into my favorites.
Thank you all so much for your help in locating this sound I much appreciate it.
Jay.
