This week on A Sound Effect, we've got a vast range of sound libraries to explore!
For those needing precise firearm sounds, the detailed "MASTERGUN" series offers the Colt M4A1 Block II, AK-74, and AK-12 (with even more new entries if you need other types of weapons), plus a versatile collection of gunshots, reloads, and handling noises.
For new ambiences, give a litsen to immersive mountain winds, peaceful Japanese cicadas, vibrant Parisian city life, intimate sounds of magpies, genuine retail atmospheres, stylized sci-fi soundscapes, and dynamic volcanic ambiences from New Zealand.
If you're looking for powerful impacts, hear booming low-frequency effects and realistic wood sounds.
And for sounds that are in their own genre, check out dissonant horror pings, detailed spinning tops, metallic guitar manipulation, precise ticking clocks, emotional screams of agony, raw electromagnetic sounds, sharp activations of mouse traps, subtle paper handling effects, authentic German compact cars, a mini and massive collection of chemical noises.
Happy listening!
