    Includes the sound of driving on:

    • Asphalt (wet and dry)
    • Gravel
    • Grass
    • Dirt
    • Mud
    • and more!

     

    Features:

    • 71 audio files in 24 bit 96kHz WAV format

  • ‘Tiny Transitions’ deivers 275 short Whooshes and other Transition sounds. Instead of the huge, more cinematic transitional sounds that you are accustomed to hear from SoundBits, this sound pack focuses more on the smaller, not-so-intrusive production elements that come in very handy for any Sound Designer, All-In-One Film Editor or Web-, App- and Game-Developers.

    All these small motion-supporting elements that you need in your everyday work for game menus, apps, general motion designs, … or as parts of more complex moving stuff.

    You get 275 designed sounds + a selection of 290 cleaned and edited source sounds that were used to design the Tiny Transitions. These sounds are mostly different props that are scraping or sliding on different surfaces and also some vocalized whoosh attempts.

    All source sounds were recorded with Sonosax SX-R4+ and Sennheiser MKH8050+MKH30 M/S rig.

    All sounds come with embedded Soundminer Metadata.

    The AM static and noise recordings have a warmth rarely found on modern radios, perfect for use in military settings or obscure transmissions in spy flicks. The FM browsing sounds feature traditional rapid radio station switching with garbled voices, brief musical stings, and a mix of cleaner, harsher static and noise suitable for more modern contexts.

    Both the AM and FM browsing takes also include extended segments where I experiment with this stereo receiver’s equalizer. These takes possess a certain musicality, as the frequency boosts and reductions introduce additional variation to the aforementioned neutral recordings.

    To complement this library, there are foley recordings of all the buttons, faders and switches on this stereo receiver’s front panel.
