Searching for specific sounds - Siren, Chimes/Harp

Ok,usually I'm very self sufficient with findings original sounds, I sample from vinyl mostly. I'm having a problem finding a good siren sound, like the basic dj dancehall siren as well as a good chimes/harp type effect. I would prefer it from vinyl if anyone knows what records I could search for. I would be into a decent quality wav or aiff also.

Thanks people.

i recommend sampling from the source of muisc you want

dancehall siren =dancehall siren sample inless you have a siren like that or a good sample thats not distorted out

Yeah I do want the source pref vinly for sure, but I know some that have sirens but are not solo'ed. I was looking for a clean isolated siren. You guys have any break/battles records with that on there you can let me know about?

Thanks,

Justin

try looking for these or these type of records they have some really good Sfx

you want a "dub siren" homey...

quick use of google search engine yields:

free vst's, used bullhorn, make your own (i'd like it best if you did that), buy a dedicated little box... maybe a battle/break record somewhere has a nice clean one...battle record with a reggae slant...Status Breaks by sureshot? iono...

but yeah that siren you hear on old dancehall was usually built-in presets in mixers... siren, machine gun, all those dope sounds... i think it was a numark mixer...

but yeah, "dub siren."

good luck, let us know which direction you go with it... i'd love for you to get a little box and then send it to me after sampling it... :lol: :lol: :lol:

check out the hip hop essentials scratch fx vol. 1 12,''

i hasvent actually listend to this but impretty sure they got it on there.

i have a couple other records in that series, the video games breaks one and the movie fx vol 3.

theyre good battle/dj/production records.

Wow, I think I may be crazy enough to try and make my own siren...sick! Thanks guys.

after reading this thread i wanted to build one but i didn't had the correct ic's
so i build this one http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/i ... ic=44510.0
i don't know what a "dub siren" sound like but the one i made sounds like a police siren ! lol
