This week on A Sound Effect, we have new releases that offer fresh inspiration and versatile tools for your projects.
If you are looking to voice mechanical objects, check out eclectic mixes of industrial machinery, mechanisms designed for robots and steampunk machines, and operational sounds for construction, workshop, and industrial scenes. We also have an '88 BMW executive car and sounds of 100+ toys for more specific mechanical sounds.
For collections that are more abstract, we have intriguing sounds of volcanic stone, dramatic tension-building risers, textural music evoking the feel of Journey or Monument Valley, and the nostalgic sounds of 8-bit video games.
Finally for those looking to get out in nature, transport yourself to serene environments with seaside morning ambiences, ancient caves from Yogyakarta, dramatic thunder from Java, and pure thunder strikes, booms, and rumbles with no rain, wind, or background noise.
Happy listening!
