8 sound libraries Asbjoern Andersen


This week on A Sound Effect, we delve into an eclectic range of sound libraries from soulful musical instruments to roaring vintage vehicles.

For captivating ambiences, check out thunder and lightning storms in Florida, featuring powerful claps and deep rumbles, or urban atmospheres for lively and dynamic cityscapes. Also, check out updates to Surround Sound Lab's massive collection of high-quality sounds in multi-channel formats.

For essential building blocks of interactive audio, give a listen to a versatile collection of creaks, slams, and mechanical sounds from trap doors, as well as guttural roars and terrifying vocalizations from three unique monsters.

For composers and sound designers looking for instrumental tones, the saxophone library provides the perfect blend of melodic emotion and jazzy flair.

And for vehicles, get two distinct libraries: a '58 Lotus 16 vintage race car for a nostalgic and powerful experience, or a '15 Tesla Model X that offers a sleek collection of electric motor hums and modern vehicle sounds.

Happy listening!

  • A very flavourful and expressive vintage single-seater race car from the late 1950s !

    This car has been recorded on a private circuit. It has a very peculiar peculiarness : its engine had issues and emitted a specific staccato/typewriter type of sound. So, if you’re looking for a car with some character, look no further my good person. We at Big Pizza Sniffers always strive to deliver you something functionally broken in the best quality possible. It’s obviously not broken to the point of not working. This is a very very fast car that did very fast laps. It’s just peculiar. Listen to the demo attached.

    We’ve recorded a couple laps with 3 onboards mics, as well as exteriors with a Schoeps MS setup : a startup to drive away, an arrival to stop, and some idle on the track.

    It’s a short little library that can cover your many needs if you have a vintage/flavourful race car scene. It can also function as asmr if you’re a really big fan of the madmax movies.
