<p>How would you make the footsteps in snow sound either via synthesis or recording/sampling? I would prefer the latter.</p>

<p>Squeezing bags of corn starch sounds a lot like walking in the snow.</p>

<p>Walking on gravel can also provide an effective 'snow' sound with some help from EQ. Though it misses the 'squeak' of the shoes compressing the snow. </p>

<p>I've put corn starch in pillowcases, then recorded a foley artist walking on it. Creates that perfect scrunch, but also makes quite a mess as the powder gets everywhere. You can add some rock salt to get a grittier sound if desired.</p>

<p>I think you can go further by adding an icy element to it</p>

<p>To get a slushier sound, do what Nick said above, cornstarch in a pillowcase but make the mixture 50/50 cornstarch and birdseed.</p>

<p>Agree with the corn starch, but adding a bit of rice gives a nice crispy texture as well. Also, adding dishwasher salts can give this texture.</p> <p>Manipulating it with your hands rather than feet gives you more control over the sound.</p> <p>Cheers</p>

<p>Squeeze custard powder or corn starch in rubber gloves. Sounds great!</p>

<p>Ive got a 25min snowy footsteps library ,recorded last winter. Lots of different types of snow, from crusty deep to frozen hard packed. Contact me at gimaudio {(at.)} gmail.com if you like. </p> <p>Best wishes Mikkel</p>

<p>I live in a place without snow, even during the winter. Walking over sand, make something very similar.</p>

<p>I'm currently working on a Winter Kontakt library that will contains footsteps on about 16 different types of snow. Check this demo video <a href="http://youtu.be/mnYNd0LhLhM" rel="nofollow">here</a>. You can go to my <a href="http://www.signoaudiodesign.com" rel="nofollow">site</a> and download a free footsteps patch for Kontakt. This "Female boots footsteps patch" is not the final version but a test drive version of the patch, so let me know.</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>Bernard</p> <p><a href="http://www.signoaudiodesign.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.signoaudiodesign.com</a></p>
