Name that sound

anonymous 6 March 2006

Hey,
I'm trying to find a sound effect. I know exactly how it sounds but I don't know what it's name is. So I just wonder whether anyone would recognise what it is if I describe it :)

They use this sound effect a lot in documentaries... particularly kind of chilling murder documentaries etc when they reveal something spin chilling..

It sounds a lot like a reversed cymbal... crossed with what sounds almost like a distorted guitar.
usually it lasts for a brief 3-4 seconds during which it starts of quietly and finishes loudly in comparison. (could be reversed)
Very much a "metallic" sound if that means anything. Like a blade slicing against a very thick piece of metal...

Ok so that much seem like the wierdest description ever if you don't know yourself. but please let me know if you have any idea's I am dying to know what that sound effect is.

Sorry I looked on the board and had no idea where to put this question.

You can often hear it in movies...

Say sombody draws a sword... and holds infront of them... the camera focuses on the sword.. and it gleams slightly... the sound effect is played over the top... makes it look "Powerfull" etc..

Sounds to me like a reverse cymbal followed by a regular cymbal

Sounds to me like a reverse cymbal followed by a regular cymbal roll with a lot of reverb. But there are more layers than that. One such layer sounds like a subway speeding by (Doppler Effect). That should get you on the right track.

sounds much to me like something that would come out of either my NL2 or PEK, then the orchstra stab midway though.

NL2 or PEK Can you expand a bit on that? How do you obtain it?
