13 new sound libraries Asbjoern Andersen


This week on A Sound Effect, we've got your sound design needs covered with both go-to and uncommon sources!

For your action scenes, we have a menacing bandit - and why not give him a high-powered laser gun or a sword to bring the clash of steel to life?

Or if you're feeling futuristic, explore the vintage tones of an analog sci-fi interface, unleash the mechanical might of a powerful robot, or transport your character in space-age vehicles.

For more general sounds, we also have environmental recordings of aquatic effects and the chilling events of ice cracking and breaking.

And looking for unique details? Check out sounds of t-shirts and torn fabric, the delightful (or dreadful?) sounds of next-door renovations, as well as a piercing Aztec death whistle and clinking gold coins. Happy listening!
