This week on A Sound Effect, we've got a diverse collection of sound libraries to share, covering everything from essential audio tools to immersive soundscapes.
First up, for those looking to refine their mixes, we have two powerful audio plugins that are versatile EQs for any audio production.
Next, we're hitting the road with two detailed vehicle libraries: an electric ride-on toy tricycle with quirky and unique recordings, and a new sport compact car that provides nostalgic sounds of this classic vehicle.
For atmospheres, we have three ambient collections with immersive Surround and Stereo autumn soundscapes of St. Petersburg and a collection of moody loops for games and other media.
Need some crisp UI sounds? We've got tactile UI sounds that provide clean and satisfying clicks, while fire-themed transitions and stingers deliver the heat!
Finally, for game developers and sound designers needing specific foley, we have detailed sounds of resource gathering, brittle breaking effects with glass smashes, and a monstrous pack of terrifying creature vocalizations.
Happy listening!
