By Asbjoern Andersen
Collage of 11 new sound effects library covers, including an Aztec death whistle mask, cracked earth, and a rainforest wetland

This week on A Sound Effect, we explore 11 new sound effects libraries covering a wide stretch of field recording and design work – from 1070 game character vocal takes and Aztec death whistle screams to 10 hours of Pacific Northwest rainforest and analog radio traffic on the HF, VHF, and UHF bands.

You’ll also find earthquake and terrain-collapse design tools with 10 Serum presets, a Suzuki SV 650 with a Leovince exhaust, a Desert Eagle captured from 6 perspectives, Thai limestone jungle at dawn, frog choruses recorded inches from the microphone, an autumn afternoon in Victoria’s Strzelecki Ranges, and a small set of bathroom water splashes.
