Product Description
Introducing Dixie, a very special English Bull Terrier with an amazing vocal ability that is unlike anything you have ever heard before. She is special because she is completely deaf and cannot hear what comes out of her mouth. She is loved and cared for by some friends here in town and they graciously allowed me to come to their home and record her. The Devil Dog HD Professional SFX Library contains over 800 individual Zombie-like sound effects recorded at 24-Bit 192kHz presented on 60 tracks.
Dixie makes the best noises when she is asleep dreaming or very tired and does not want to be bothered. She was very excited when I arrived so they tried to calm her down a little bit to see if she would make some of the amazing “alien” noises they say she makes. The sounds she made when I was in the room were great but after a while I went outside for 5 minutes and left the gear with them and they were able to get her to make some really cool noises. I was able to leave the recording gear overnight and got some really amazing close up sleeping sounds.
I used a Sennheiser MKH-416 and a MKH-8040 with the filter module set on a small stand. This combination is very good for this type of animal recording as the hyped-up top end of the MKH-416 works perfect for the normal pitched intense growls and barks while the MKH-8040 sounds amazing when pitched way down with a nice smooth top end and a monstrous low end. There are multiple distances for variety and dozens of variations on most tracks. Dixie can make sounds ranging from soft and subtle to over the top loud and vicious. She can purr like a kitten and snarl like an attack dog. I have never heard any animal make these kinds of noises especially a dog. Dixie got to know me after a few days and maybe next time I see here she will let me record her in her next dream state.

Devil Dog HD Pro Comments:
Frank Bry just announced a library of a very interesting Bull dog- it sounds really great- and has a broad range of great aggressive utterances, and I would say it is some of the most interesting animal vox I have heard in years, check it out, I think it is brilliant.

Man, I couldn’t stop laughing the sounds are so strange! That’s some crazy zombie action going on there.
– Chris M. Jacobson, CAS
These are great. I was laughing all the way in the demo clip but I got to 1:57 I just was LOL in tears. The final part is awesome, too. If I ever need alien creature stuff this is definitely first choice. Just to clarify, these sounds are only hilarious because of the adorable dog producing them. The photo helps a lot, too. In any other context these would scare the sh*t out of Chuck Norris.

When I first listened to it, I couldn’t believe that this is a real dog, I just had to look at the picture again. Very good stuff.
– Tamas Dragon
Oh geez. Thanks so much for the laughs today. That was great! I’m wiping tears from my eyes over that poor doggie. Hilarious. Can’t wait to whip out the pitch control!
– Jeff
