This week on A Sound Effect, we’ve got a diverse range of sonic treats to fill your projects with life!
For sounds of machines, rev up for a classic Kawasaki EN 500 motorcycle or enjoy the unique subway trains of Los Angeles.
For nature lovers, we have the haunting calls of periodic cicadas and the serene sounds of the ocean.
Need a touch of the unexpected? Check out the intriguing EMF recordings, or the rich, expressive Chroma upright piano.
And if you’re seeking a conglomeration of sounds, we have a comprehensive Foley collection, a charming bundle of lovely bells (as well as separate volumes), and the fully immersive Surround Sound LAB Complete Collection.
No matter your project, there’s something here to inspire you. Happy listening!
