This week on A Sound Effect, we have 21 new sound libraries, each offering unique sonic experiences. From the raw power of high-performance vehicles to the delicate intricacies of tiny mechanisms, there's something for every sound designer.
For nature and environment, we have underwater ambiences that capture the vastness and mystery of the ocean, calming sounds of flowing water, vibrant sounds of the European countryside, and a versatile collection of ice sounds with raw recordings and stylized effects.
For vehicles you can hear an iconic Aston Martin DB11, nostalgic '84 Opel Kadett E, thrilling Jaguar F Type SVR, sporty Nissan Silvia Skyline, and rugged legendary '79 Puch G 1979 military off-road SUV, plus the nuanced door sounds from a Willerby Granada XL Static Caravan and the iconic roar of a WWII Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 engine.
For foley and mechanisms, you can discover a world of tiny, non-motorized devices like cameras, can openers, and fidget toys, the classic clicks and whirls of a film camera, a versatile collection of egg sounds, powerful punches and impacts, and sounds of shop interactions and inventory management.
Finally, for more abstract sounds, you can check out ethereal atmospheres and evocative moods, immersive ambisonic roomtones and ambiences, and suspenseful clock loops.
