Cat Close-Up

$12

A compact and intimate feline sound library recorded in pristine detail.
Cat Close-Up captures the subtle, healing sounds of a domestic cat at very close range — focusing mainly on purring, but also containing drinking and licking.

This modest collection was recorded using a Nevaton MC59 cardioid microphone paired with a Sound Devices MixPre-II recorder, allowing for exceptional detail, depth, and warmth. The proximity effect of the MC59 cardioid microphone brings out the rich low frequencies of the purr, giving it a tactile and soothing presence. Every sound is designed to feel close, soft, and real, even if the sounds are mono. The mono format creates an immersive, grounded feel — ideal for projects that benefit from a direct, unembellished sound rather than broad stereo space.

Though compact in size, the library was crafted with care to extract the most emotionally resonant tones from these everyday moments of feline life.

Includes:

Continuous and broken purring (deep, soft, rhythmic)
Licking sounds (grooming fur, tongue on fur)
Drinking (lapping water, natural variations)

Useful Sound Effects focuses on the practical side of sound effects. That means that themes are oriented towards use in documentary, film, game or any other supplemental medium. This approach is a result of experiencing the need for sounds and the difficulty of finding adequate results that are up to expectations of users or clients.

There is a subjective but very interesting line between what you want to hear, what you expect to hear, and what you actually hear. Often sounds are illustrative for something that happens on a screen and the viewer needs to be guided by that sound. It is a psychological element that drives our senses and emotions. So indeed, sound can manipulate the viewer into a certain direction, chosen by the director.

So the focus is on the USE of sound, that is were the name came from USE > Useful Sound Effects.

The USE libraries are made with acoustic recordings, field recordings, synthesis, hybrid mixing, low noise omni microphones, silent cardioid microphones, contact microphones, ultrasound microphone (Sanken CO-100K), Zoom and Sound Devices recorders, a custom binaural head, edited and mixed in Reaper, including Native Instruments Komplete 12 ultimate, Izotope Ozone 9, RX etc.
