Happy listening!

Nocked

'Nocked' by Eiravaein Works LLC focuses on the sounds and functions of the archer and the act of archery with 8 recorded bows and 2 "mythic" bows with 3 varying surfaces, and 4 simultaneous recording positions.
 
  • Whether your need to bring a lone rogue to life or a surge of arrows in an epic battle scene, Nocked will provide you with a plethora of flexible content.

    Our largest library to date, this collection is a comprehensive focus on the sounds and functions of the archer and the act of archery. Included are eight recorded bows (2 crossbows, olympic recurve, traditional recurve, longbow, long compound, short compound, and Magyar bow) with 2 additional ‘mythic’ bows of our own design, each using 3 types of arrows (aluminum, carbon, and bamboo) on 3 varying surfaces (hard, soft, and dirt) from 4 simultaneous recording positions (at bow, at target, midflight mono, and midflight stereo). Each bow and each arrow type have a character all there own.

    The content’s dynamic range is wide, from whispering bamboo arrows gliding on rests as they are drawn to firing position, to the powerful THWACK of crossbow bolts striking their target. All non-firing sounds were recorded in a controlled studio environment while all recordings of the bows being fired were taken on a plot of wide-open rural farmland, encompassed by forests. When needed, this ambient natural environment provided an ideal impulse response to be used in the design and editing of some of the sounds to create a heightened effect.

    Included are a wide array of archery actions and Foley:
    Nocking and unnocking arrows
    Drawing
    Firing (loosing)
    Mid-flight pass-bys
    Releasing / relaxing a draw
    Impacts on targets
    Arrow and accessory Foley (handling, selecting, gathering, dropping, etc.)

    A multitude of takes are provided across each bow/arrow/surface/position combination for easy randomization and differentiation of sounds, or to track any number of unique archers at any given moment.

    Go ahead, let them fight in the shade.

Modern UI

'Modern UI' by BOOM Library gets you all you need to dive into the digital, virtual and interactive world with futuristic sci-fi sounds, high-tech sonifications, casual game UI elements, user feedback, and more.
 
  • PIONEERING USER INTERFACE SOUND EFFECTS
    Fully loaded with over 8 GB of sound material in a single package, this library brings you all you need to dive into the digital, virtual and interactive world. Whether you are looking for futuristic Sci-Fi sounds, high-tech sonifications, casual game UI elements or simple device / system user feedback, this versatile, ready-to-use collection has you covered.

    LARGE, MEDIUM, SMALL
    In many applications of any kind, users encounter various levels or stages of interaction. MODERN UI features different sound sizes / priorities to meaningfully set apart sounds within the same category, giving you an immense head start in terms of flexibility.

    VERSATILE & READY TO USE
    Due to their modern and clean characteristics, MODERN UI sounds come with the added benefit of being both formidable in their own right as well as good starting points for your own design. All sounds are neatly tied into 13 unique categories; one-shots come with the established six variations while all textures are looped.

    ENORMOUS FIELD
    The possible uses and applications of this library extend far beyond the game and film domain. Whether you are an app or interactive media developer, working in the automobile or high-tech industry, a product designer or shaping user experiences in any other way – get inspired by and equipped abundantly with MODERN UI.

    WHAT WE RECORDED
    As opposed to Cinematic Elements: Fire & Water, no microphones were harmed in the production of this library. In fact, it has been crafted almost entirely using synthesis and elaborate effect chains through which any resemblance of the original recording was transformed into the edgy, unique and identifiable sounds that made it into the package.

    WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS LIBRARY?
    A new BOOM library usually is born when we feel that the current supply on the market falls short of our own needs and quality standards. Especially game sound designers require a large pool of available intensities, moods, stages and variations when working on anything UI-related. Focusing purely on the virtual / artificial world, MODERN UI perfectly complements the first, more organic library The Interface.

    Background: 22 • Confirm: 678 • Deny: 480 • Hover: 132 • Impact Sweetener: 204 • Pop Up: 132 • Progress: 26 • Scan: 336 Select: 546 • Text: 138 • Warning: 72 • Whoosh: 600 • Window: 468 – for a total of 3834 sounds

THE WORLD’S EASIEST WAY TO GET INDEPENDENT SOUND EFFECTS:

  • Metal Sound Effects MetalMotion Play Track 2000+ sounds included, 239 mins total $110

    MetalMotion is a sound design construction kit that contains four hours of moving metal mayhem: clicks and clanks, rolls and drags, wronks and squeals, scrapes and rattles, ranging from from tiny to monstrous. Nathan Moody’s unique performances with unusual combinations of props produce everything from Foley-like movements to intense groans and howls.

    Whether you’re covering a robot’s movements, sweetening weapon Foley, making crafting or pick-up sounds in a game, placing unusual layers beneath a kaiju’s roar, or crushing a submarine with undersea pressure, this collection covers the full range of subtle to raucous. Each file has many performance variations for creative choice and game audio asset creation.

    While there are some tasty impacts within, this library’s true focus is on characterful movements: handling, rummaging, opens, closes, ratchets, swirls, rolls, drags, drops, spins, rubs, zuzzes, and bows. Metal containers, filing cabinets, modern appliances, vintage (and very rusty) tools, cymbals, bells, grills, plates, bars, rods, and tubes, and many other props lent their voices to this collection.

    This UCS-compliant library was recorded with a combination of standard, contact, and ultrasonic-capable microphones through Millennia preamps. Sample rates vary based on the amount of ultrasonic content in each file. The audio files are mastered for realism, ready for extreme processing and pitch shifting of your own, but still useful in more grounded contexts.
