Welcome to the second episode of the A Sound Effect Podcast – the podcast dedicated to independent sound effects. In this episode we talk with the guys behind the massively popular BOOM sound effect libraries, highlight some of the interesting new independent SFX releases – and we’ve brought home some sounds and sonic impressions from Tokyo, Japan.
Co-hosting the podcast with me once again is Christian Hagelskjær from Hzandbits, and we’ve been absolutely blown away by the positive response to the first episode. Thanks so much for the support! We hope you’re going to enjoy this one as well.

Here’s what’s in in Episode 2:
New independent sound effects: First off, I’m highlighting a few of the interesting independent sound effect libraries that have come out recently.
Behind the sound of the BOOM library: We got the opportunity to speak with Axel Rohrbach & Michael Schwendler, two talented recordists and sound designers from the BOOM library in Germany. They do some incredibly well-crafted sound effect libraries, and in the interview, they share the surprising stories behind some of their most popular libraries, the creative work that goes into making them – and what’s coming next from the team.
The Sounds Of Tokyo: Since the 1st episode, Christian has been on a trip to Tokyo – armed with his trusty recording gear – and has put together a montage that highlights the contrasting and interesting sounds of this huge city, peppered with some insights on field recording in general. I found it to be a really enjoyable and atmospheric listen, and I hope you’re going to like it too.
