hey guys i'm new into this forum i'm doing sound designing for my shotfilm i wanted to know that what is the gerner term for "cloth rustling sound effect" how to find them on line do i need to record it myself or are they any library available, thanks in advance
I'm recording my own Foley for independent games and such. But sometimes it can be nice to resort to www.freesound.org for some extra sounds and inspirations (and don't forget to give credit where it's due). Search for clothes, clothing, movement/move, grabbing, etc. I would suggest investing in a portable digital recorder and some good mics. That way you get the sounds that you want. And it's fun!

Cool! Don't forget to highpass if you record too close (proximity effect). Make sure you have a wind screen on aswell. Things can get windy, even with jackets, sweaters, bathrobes/towels, etc. Last edited: Dec 6, 2015
Get yourself a handheld recorder. 200 U$ max will get you into the loop. PLAY the scene on your own!. Imagine what will you do when you'd be the talent. CLOTHES are notoriously difficult to record. It always sound as someone would fart. Get some old fabric and experiment with the MOVEMENTS. What I mean is that not every movement you do will correspond to the sound you hear. Keep listening and record as necessary. Forget highpass and lowpass. On location sound guys rarely use filters prior to editing suit. Its all about the distance and environment. There are situations that you think you should use highpass due to proximity. It might be wrong because the room the action is played might have more low end you think. Last tip from my hero Charles Maynes : use a touch of phaser to simulate the air circulation.... Good Luck!!!
Also, just 'cloth' is a phrase that's used in commercial libraries. If you've got a lot of footsteps and rustles in your project, I recommend a (Kontakt) Foley instrument, saves lots of time. Like this one: http://tovusound.com Edward ($59):
