11 new sound libraries Asbjoern Andersen


This week on A Sound Effect, we have 11 heavy hitters with the creative edge you need.

For combat and horror Foley, take a trip to the medieval combat arena to hear warriors use melee weapons and evasive footwork to avoid covering the sand with their own gore.

On the opposite side of the violence spectrum, we have detailed atmospheres of wind in the trees, peaceful sounds of foliage and vegetation, and calm recordings of wind chimes.

And while we're outside, check out the new vehicles sounds of a Ford family car and a John Deere combine harvester.

Finally, if you're looking for something more abstract and creative, give a listen to the immersive drones collection and the major update to FabFilter's Pro-R2 reverb plug-in. Happy listening!

Pro-R2

'Pro-R2' by FabFilter is a major update to this popular reverb plugin, adding support for immersive audio (up to 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos), two new vintage and plate reverb algorithms, IR import, ducking and gating functions, analog-style saturation, an increased decay range, and more.
 
  • Pro-R 2 brings a raft of new next-gen features to what was already a widely respected reverb plug-in, including comprehensive multichannel compatibility, two brand-new reverb algorithms, IR import and replication, ducking and gating functions, analog-style saturation, and much more. It is a huge technological and functional leap forward for the plug-in, and one made without any compromise to the slick workflow and stellar sound quality that Pro-R users already know and love.

    Full immersive audio support
    Place reverbs in three-dimensional space with support for immersive channel layouts up to 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos. Pro-R 2 configures itself for multichannel formats automatically whenever it is added to a surround channel, and individual Decay Rate and Post EQ bands can be applied to any combination of channels using the new Speakers panel. Meanwhile, the new Surround Settings panel provides straightforward controls for balancing the relative levels of every reverb parameter — Predelay, Character, Decay Rate, etc — between the front and back of the immersive space. A massive amount of work has gone into the implementation of surround cross feeding, delivering an exceptionally convincing sense of space; and with its intuitive approach and liberating flexibility, ProR 2 yields spectacular results without letting complicated channel routing get in the way of creativity.

    All-new Vintage and Plate reverb Styles
    Expanding on the clean, natural sound of Pro-R, Pro-R 2 introduces two new reverb algorithms that bring a diversity of retro flavors to mixes. ‘Vintage’ is inspired by classic digital reverb units of the ’80s and ’90s, and is the go-to for long, bright hyper-real spatial ambiences, while ‘Plate’ serves up the evocative metallic sound of plate reverb — ideal for drums and vocals. Together, the two new styles broaden Pro-R 2’s spatializing remit out from the realistic physical environments for which its predecessor was known into more overtly synthetic textural territory.

    Impulse response (IR) import
    As if tripling the number of reverb styles on offer was not enough, Pro-R 2 also adds the ability to import impulse responses and have them automatically recreated as algorithmic setups — including Decay Rate and Post EQ shaping — that closely match their sonic characteristics. Whether wanting to binge on the vast array of free impulse responses available online, or capture and emulate favorite vocal booth, drum room, or hardware reverb in Pro-R 2, IR import opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

    Extended reverb parameters and controls
    Pro-R 2 provides even more tools with which to design dream reverbs. Set the wet signal level to drop whenever the dry signal is present with the Ducking control; dial in density and saturation with the Thickness knob; get your Phil Collins on with the tempo-syncable Auto Gate; and capture and hold the tail indefinitely with a click of the Freeze button. No matter what anyone’s reverberation goal might be, Pro-R 2 has everything needed to realize it.

    Full-featured preset browser
    A great improvement on the simple hierarchical menu of Pro-R, Pro-R 2’s streamlined new preset browser makes it easier than ever to navigate and manage the factory library and user presets. Assign editable tags for filtered searching, set presets as favorites for one-click filtering, and add author names and text descriptions. And if the original Pro-R is installed then all its presets appear in Pro-R 2’s library as well.
