This week on A Sound Effect, we're diving into a diverse collection of sound libraries, perfect for all your audio needs.
We've got some wonderfully immersive environmental tracks, including exotic Southeast Asian jungles, relaxing pebble-drifting sea waves, and earthy LOM Geofon recordings.
We also have more "inhabited" sounds of bustling Ambisonic walla, everyday public places, energetic demonstrations in Serbia, vibrant South African walla, plus subways and plazas and the Public Library of New York City.
For fun new vehicles with lots of style, check out the vintage '84 Mercedes Benz E and an iconic '21 Golden State Mustang.
And on the synth-end of the spectrum, give a listen to evolving cinematic synth movements and mysterious electromagnetic drones.
Finally, we have collections with vigorous impacts, including stylized anime weapon sounds, massive and mini collections of explosive fireworks, intense kantanas, axes, and blood splatters, and zesty sounds of over 100 toys that go harder than you'd expect!
Happy listening!
