New sound effects: Tranquil nature, winds, HVAC, rocks, calculators, trains, soldiers – and robot factories:

'Designed Rocks' by Solar Audio is a set of glitchy rock elements that crumble, crack and shatter in oddly organic yet synthetic ways. This library has 70 impacting textures that are at times rhythmic and melodic as they crumble, roll, and burst. The library also includes unique atmospherics as if the rocks are under water, or in a small reverberating space, a malfunctioning holodeck and an alien world. If you are looking for synthetic crumbles, check this library out.

'High Deserts Winds' by Thomas Rex Beverly is an eclectic collection of winds from the high altitude areas of Texas. This library includes sounds of the mountain ridge tops of the David Mountains and Big Bend National Park with 15-50 mph gale gusts, low whistling drones, and breezes through the pines, mesquite and more. There are also seasonal recordings with leafy gusts, pouring rain, broad spectrum wind through winter grass, and crickets at night braving the weather. If you need sounds of the blustery wide open American South, this is the library to check out.

'HVAC Elements' by Hzandbits has all the sounds of ventilation you need for your industrial scenes. This library has nearly fifty recordings that make up over an hour of fans, heaters, coolers and more. You can find a small fan with bad bearings that grates and squeals, a tabletop fan that flutters, a howling bathroom fan, a refrigerator cooler that drones and rattles, and much more. With so much variation, you should have an easy time implementing these ambiences and HVAC units in your factories, spaceships and general interior scenes.

'Rusty Old Freight Trains' by Kevin Durr has sounds of these giants as they travel around the San Francisco Bay. Covered in rust and graffiti, the trains clunk, screech, scrape and thud as their complex bodies - roiled by heat, constant rain and salty air - roll along the tracks to San Jose, Richmond, Emeryville and other destinations. Each recording was captured within 15-20 feet of the trains and have a sample rate of 96kHz for creative design. If you're looking for the distinct sounds of trains with more robust age characteristics, these are ones to hear.

'Victor Adding Machine' by Kevin Durr is a library based on this machine and all its early 20th century technology. With its printer, paper, buttons, and cranking mechanism, this device used to give human minds a break from counting cash. This library features six recordings of the machine's actions from five mic positions and with two different mic techniques from a Schoeps CMC 5U pair with MK4 capsules. Whether you are going for authenticity or creating a retro-futuristic device, give this library a listen.
