Dixie’s Unique Vocalizations: An Upcoming Sound Library

This blog post announces the upcoming release of a unique sound library featuring the incredible vocalizations of Dixie, a deaf English Bull Terrier. Dixie’s sounds are unlike anything you’ve ever heard, making this library a truly special resource for musicians and sound designers.

Recording Dixie’s “Alien” Sounds

Dixie’s vocalizations are best captured when she’s relaxed, sleeping, or daydreaming. High-quality recordings were made using professional-grade equipment:

The recordings were captured at 24-bit/192kHz resolution, ensuring exceptional audio fidelity. A total of 60 WAV files are currently compiled, with more planned for the full release.
