SoundPad: Desert Planet (Remastered)
🕑 Added 2025-05-02 14:34:15 +0000 UTCGreetings Patrons,
I'm continuing to remaster these early SoundPads, and making them available as Patreon exclusive downloads.
Please don't share these files. They are for you, dear patrons, and you alone!
The website versions will most likely stay as they are for the time being, but these re-mastered audio files are of higher quality than what appears online (bandwidth/cost issues) and have been tweaked to the standards of the later SoundPads.
The format for these will be .ogg as it's superior to mp3 for looping purposes as well as quality/file size considerations.
As with most Patreon content, the simplest way to access it is via the Tabletop Audio website. As each SoundPad is remastered, a "Download on Patreon" button will appear on the page. That link will take you to the appropriate post.
If there are any Multi-part sounds (denoted by the x2, x4, etc on the website), they will be split into individual sounds as they would require the SoundPad engine to play properly. e.g.
Additionally, the files have all been renamed with a more consistent naming convention and id3 tags have been added.

Originally released in January 2020, Desert Planet was the 24th installment of the SoundPad series.
From the original post:
As with many of these biome SoundPads, I add the word 'planet' after them to give me freedom from being slavishly realistic. Hence the dinosaurs in the jungle, giants in the ice etc.
I watched a lot of desert themed films while researching this. Lawrence of Arabia, Dune, Pitch Black and others. I found that the human element really helped to add to the story telling aspect of this world. There was only so much wind and shifting sand sounds that I could make and the temple was much needed interior element. As such, Desert Planet is quite heavily populated with humanoid tribes.
There are 3 tones which are useful for adding atmosphere to any desert based sounds. There are also 3 musical tracks which, while not authentic in any way, are consistent with the vibe for my particular world. I had a great time making my electric violin sound like a duduk, or ney for the Destiny track.
Thank you all, for your continuing support.
Best,
Tim

Which VTT are you using? Ideally it should use id3 tag info, not file name to display information about the track.

Changing the filenames for no purpose just breaks playlists and references in VTTs. It also means that the VTT wastes a ton of space telling you "Desert Planet" before the useful part of the filename can be displayed.

Thanks for this remaster, I can't describe how much I use the Sandstorm sound on loop while I'm working - like right now - only with the new version. 🙂
