Desert Sound Effects

Desert sound effects for wide open places with very little in them. Desert winds from breezes up to howling gusts, birds and insects, coyotes, and camel growls with hardly any room sound on them. Very dry. It suits westerns and sand planet sci-fi, and any scene set a long way from water.

Wind does most of the work in a desert, and here it runs from desert breezes to harsh gusts and full Storm recordings, with a tornado and hurricanes at the far end. Hail on a tin roof is in there too, handy for a shack in bad weather. For rocky ground, Canyon sits close by. The camel growls work as raw source as much as animal sounds, since dry recordings like those can be pitched and stretched into a creature voice without a room getting in the way. Desert birds and coyotes fill in the living side, for scenes that need a sign of life out there.
