This week on A Sound Effect, we have new sound libraries that will cover your general needs, as well as your deep-cut niches.
For sounds of transportation, check out the Qingdao wheelchair scooter, Suzuki off-road mini SUV, Tomos 1981 moped, and classic 1929 Ford Model A, plus the slightly slower methods of transportation with neoprene wetsuits and flip flops.
For sounds of technology with an emotional and sometimes brutal edge, we have two new user interface collections, a printer being destroyed Office Space-style, and cannons flying by to bombard forts.
If you are looking for new environments, check out sounds of wind on Lake Sakdar, pleasant rivers, lakes, and streams, a detailed selection of objects being moved by wind, and ambiences from the south of France.
And if you're designing realms that are on the more fantastical side, transport your audience to worlds with trolls and goblins, medieval castles and prisons, sci-fi whooshes, a collection of creepy violin and guitar textures, interstellar anime worlds, and textures and hits with a cinematic feel.
Happy listening!
