New Sound Effects: Roaring Fighter Jets And Racecars, Talkative Cats - And Lots More!

Posted December 4, 2017 by Adriane Kuzminski in New sound effects libraries

The sound effects roundups are back, and we have lots of new libraries that were submitted during our huge Black Friday sale. You can hear sounds of different vehicles like a LOUD vintage ‘40s racecar, a Nissan and BMW with flashy drivers, a Soviet-era fighter jet, and old bikes with unique quirks. You can also hear gurgling household water systems, shattered wooden planks, random items dropped onto carpet and concrete, three talkative cats, and subtle sounds that will give your soundscapes just what they need. Happy listening!

Gordini 1947 Vintage Race Car

Vehicle Sound Effects Gordini 1947 Vintage Race Car Play Track 14+ sounds included, 58 mins total
Rated 5.00 out of 5
$60

This library presents a vintage Gordini race car from 1947, recorded on a private race track.

We captured a full lap and a half with three onboards microphones and a Schoeps MS for the exterior pass bys.

Why a lap and a half ? Because the car broke down mid track, which made for several fantastic engine failure sounds.

Witness the powerful loud (LOUD) sound of this vintage beauty and its trumpeting exhaust from hell.

Recording setup:Onboards microphones routed to a MixPre6 :

Engine – Shure SM11
Exhaust – Shure SM11
Cockpit – DPA4061
Exterior passes recorded with a Schoeps MK4/MK8 to a Cooper CS104.

2 SCO gentlemen's bicycles, from 1970-1980, and 1 home trainer, a little younger than the others.

Recorded inside a studio with the bikes either being on a dynamo or suspended from the ceiling, all bikes had lavalier microphones mounted front and back, and a microphone overhead of the rider. Some takes has a contact microphone track to add to the misery.

Includes interior recordings from 3 different bicycles:

• Long rides, multiple tempos
• Gears spinning
• Extreme creaks from saddle and frame
• Chain and chain guard noises
• Pedal spins
• Brakes
• Kickstand
• Bells

Augmentation Elements

Drones & Mood Sound Effects Augmentation Elements Play Track 155 sounds included $50

Frustration. You’ve spent hours on a project, only to end up with a sound scape that feels incomplete. The action scene feels empty, the weapons don’t sound heavy enough, the transitions don’t pack enough of a punch, the space ship doesn’t feel large enough and the monsters aren’t sufficiently scary.

The Augmentation Elements library has been built with this problem in mind. Due to the library’s abstract nature, the Risers, Stings, Swells and Whooshes can be molded and manipulated into adding that missing element that you’re looking for, and sweetening the whole mix.

In order to save you time and help you quickly find the sounds that you need, SoundMiner metadata has been carefully created for each individual file. There are no ‘Scream, 1’ and ‘Scream, 2’ in this library! Every single file is individually described, and the use of numbers is not employed!

Have a look at the metadata list further down the page!

Now, Your futuristic energy weapons don’t sound full enough? Try layering some of the stings and swells underneath them.

That large space ship doesn’t seem large enough? Grab some whooshes and pan them to your heart’s delight.

The alien doesn’t sound scary enough? Some of the stings sound eerily close to vocalizations. Grab them and run wild.

Are crucial transitions in your film lacking punch? Drag some of those risers into your DAW and see which one fits best!

If you have any questions about this library, feel free to quickly send me an e-mail. I tend to reply within minutes.
