This week on A Sound Effect, we have 17 new libraries that will add a whole new dimension to your sound design. Whether you’re creating a realistic environment or a fantastical world, our new libraries have something for everyone.
For sounds of environments and the elements, you can hear rain and rumbling thunder in the distance, as well as the chirping of fruit bats.
We also have new vehicles like the sleek and stylish electric Jaguar iPace, a rugged and capable 2003 Land Rover Freelander, and a Suzuki Bandit motorcycle.
For human, android, and monster sounds, we have two new ambience bundles from Sri Lanka, an AI that will command your ship, and huge growling monsters.
And to add personality to a specific genre, check out sounds of anime weapons, magic activations, casino cards, and sounds of a flask being opened – perhaps for your drunken pirate?
Happy listening!
