12 sound libraries Asbjoern Andersen


This week on A Sound Effect, we delve into a diverse collection of sound libraries, each lovingly made to enhance your audio projects.

First up, we have organic UI elements that offer an earthen touch to interfaces, plus sounds of the outdoors with tranquil nature ambiences and a farm animal collection with charming sounds of sheep, chickens, and pigs.

For those looking to transport their listeners to other worlds, we have a sci-fi collection with both intense and quiet spaceship pass-bys, as well as haunting cinematic impacts and an explosive collection of M60 machine guns for battle-focused projects.

Heading to more abstract but always useful sounds, we have powerful whooshes that pack a punch, sounds of rich, resonant metal, your choice of a small pack or massive collection of contact mic sounds, and smashed ceramics that offer a crisp edge.

To top it off, we have sounds from New York City's Grand Central Station, capturing this vibrant and iconic transit hub. Happy listening!

MASTERGUN – M60E6

'MASTERGUN – M60E6' by Aftertouch Audio features 28 channels of raw recordings, including unsuppressed and suppressed shots, recorded in the Nevada Desert with designed mixes and extensive UCS metadata.
 
  • Bundles MASTERGUN – M60E6 Play Track 1563 sounds included $90

    The Master Gun M60E6 Sound Effects library is recorded using a large array of various microphone configurations, we recorded shots from several distances in an open shooting range in the Nevada Desert.

    Raw Recordings

    Our raw shots features a total of 28 channels including 13 Stereo and 2 mono sources. All of our close and mid spaced pair Microphone options can be used as two independent mono microphones. The right side of every spaced pair will have more Mech than its left side counterpart.
    Every single gun has been recorded using the same gain settings on the same recorders, and we have level matched each microphone option between the same calibers so your 50ft microphones will be the same or similar across all libraries that share the same calibers. This makes mixing large amounts of weapons easier as the loudness and character of each gun is predictable.

    Our foley features a total of 4 audio channels with 1 Stereo and 2 mono sources, including the Sanken CO-100k which captures frequencies above 100kHz for extreme pitch shifting workflows.

    Suppressed Recordings

    In addition to the unsuppressed shot recordings, we’ve also sampled the M60E6 with a suppressor attachment. The suppressed M60E6 was sampled right after the unsuppressed recordings using the exact same microphone setup as the unsuppressed version. This provides you a seamless transition between the unsuppressed and the suppressed recordings.
    The suppressed recordings also have the added benefit of muting the shot layers which helps bring out the intricate details of the mechanism (mech layers).
    Because adding a suppressor to the firearm increases the weapons muzzle velocity, the fire rate of the suppressed weapon is slightly faster than its unsuppressed counterpart.

    Designed Mixes

    Created from the ground up we’ve designed a collection of game-ready mixes for your next project. If you are creating your own custom weapons system and would like to use our designed mixes in your project, you can use our no-tail options which are our realistic designed mixes without our tail layers. Just drag, and drop.

    UCS compatible metadata embedded

    All files contain extensive metadata to provide you with the fastest and easiest workflow possible. Metadata can be read and processed by audio management tools. Some digital audio workstations feature an included search tool that can also read embedded metadata.
