Welcome to Sick Volume 3: Dark Places. This deep sound & music design collection features 175 professional dark/suspense/horror environments, soundscapes, hellscapes and nightmare worlds. We've hand-crafted horrific demonic creatures, feverish states of sonic delirium, monstrously shambling slavering hordes and discordant fever dreams. We traveled to the edge of a hurricane and wandered the endless halls of decrepit, vermin infested industrial, military and institutional ruins to capture authentic, production grade field ambiences that truly live and breathe.
Sick 3 also includes a massive collection of 335 live stereo convolution reverb impulse response files captured in a wide range of remote horror-friendly environments: bunkers, prisons, waterfronts, graveyards, forests, chambers, warehouses, sewers and more. We've focused this catalog of impulses on environments leaning toward dark and foreboding, from the vast hopelessness of a derelict prison hall to a terrifyingly claustrophobic earthen grave. Recorded at a variety of capture distances, angles and degrees of occlusion, they provide realistic coloration and spatialization when placing additional instruments, sound design and foley into a mix, allowing you to augment other source material in your music, film, television, game or multimedia production. You can find these acoustically accurate impulse responses in the Samples folder - they're compatible with any convolution effect, host, virtual instrument or utility that supports wav impulse import.
This library comes with an adaptable LFO system, with selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing and fade-in time. You can also apply your choice of 12 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters, with assignable modulation targets such as velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control. Our customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and control over arp direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. We’ve included a key and scale lock system to constrain your notes to common scales and keys for easy melodic composition and live performance.
