Nature & Countryside Ambiences Arabian Desert Play Track 67+ sounds included, 416 mins totalRated 5.00 out of 5From: $220Arabian Desert is a collection of stereo and quad soundscapes recorded on the Arabian Peninsula in the Empty Quarter, the largest expanse of sand dunes on Earth. The recordings range from soft to medium and gusty/blustery wind, with variations including sand spray, vegetation movement and insects.
This collection of recordings will help portray the vast expanse of the Empty Quarter. Many of these soundscapes are not much more than soft wind. There’s also gusty and blustery wind, recorded with microphones at the top of dunes and underneath the sand surface. Wildlife is incredibly sparse in the Empty Quarter and is represented in this library by buzzing flies and other insects.

Sound Tailor – Boat Horns
Imagine you had a real color palette when it comes to boat horn sounds. That is now possible with Sound Tailor Effects Library new release.
In the heart of Burgundy, in central France, we met with this passionate boat horn chaser and collector who has managed, through years of research, to acquire one of the largest boat horns collection in the world. In a quiet field, we captured these incredibly loud horns, from close to distant spots, with a variety of static and dynamic microphones.
This library includes 33 unique boat horns, organized in a chromatic scale, from A2 to F#5. We recorded 4 blasts of each horn, from short to long ones, for convenient editing. Each horn comes in 3 audio files, with 3 different microphone perspectives:
– 4 meters in LCR (a combination of Neuman TLM103 / Sennheiser SM57)– 50 & 200 meters in a 5.0 surround mic array (Sennheiser MKH8020/8040)They have the same length and can be easily combined for more sonic possibilities.
In addition, you get recordings of an air siren, custom made from a boat horn, and 5 edited loops of it, plus 3 different train steam whistles.
Boat Horns contains more than 22,41 GB / 252 Files.
WHAT’S INSIDE
All files are 24Bit/192kHz WAV Surround / LCRÂ & 24Bit/48kHz Stereo Version files.
All meticulously embedded with Soundminer & UCS Metadata.INCLUDED SOUNDS – KEYWORDS

Game Audio Packs - Game Sound Effects Libraries Clocks and Mechanics Play Track 2300+ sounds included, 276 mins total $99TOOLBOX FOR MECHANICAL SOUND DESIGN
Clocks and Mechanics is the ultimate tool to design mechanical processes and tell stories with the ticking, chiming and ringing of clocks. Whether you have to create tiny mechanical movements, rattling gadgets or even large gear mechanisms like steampunk machines, this library will cover it all.CLEAN AND DETAILED RECORDINGS
Clocks and Mechanics provides you with recordings of grandfather clocks, wall clocks, desk clocks, alarm clocks, pocket watches and many small mechanisms, all carefully edited and natural sounding. Included are various sounds of chimes, bells, loopable ticking at different speeds, detailed clockwork and gear mechanisms as well as rattling, snapping, clicking and handling of spare parts. All sounds were captured in mono and stereo using the LCR recording technique.ONE OF THE LARGEST CLOCK SOUND LIBRARIES
Severeal recording sessions in the workshops of various clockmakers resulted in a library containing 440 soundfiles with more than 2300 individual sounds, making this collection one of the biggest clock libraries available on the market.Artur Baryshev (Sound Designer)
“One of the most detailed library out there! It contains a huge amount of carefully recorded clock-related material, which can be used in a wide variety of situations: not only for clocks, but for small mechanical things, steampunk robots, UI, ambience, motion design and the list goes on. Also, this library contains the biggest amount of ticks I ever saw. Nice!” -
Strange instruments is collection of wild and unconventional instrument sound effects. Featuring 30 instruments; this collection covers a wide range sounds from a variety of unique props. From whirling and whooshing Bullroarers, Wind Wands, and Twittering Bamboo; to dramatic impacts and pitch bending from Gongs and Cymbals in water; to the strange calls and warbling of PVC Horns, Overtone Flutes, and Bamboo Swazzles,… the sonic scope of Strange Instruments is wide and varied.
While these props have their place in some forms of music, they were specially selected, performed, and recorded for rich sound design possibilities. Discover how this wild new source material can bring a fresh perspective to your design. Check out the previews of what this library contains at normal speed and what can be achieved with just simple pitch shifting!
The 3 libraries in the Animal Hyperrealism series:
-
Animal Sound Effects Collections Animal Hyperrealism Vol I Play Track 290+ sounds includedRated 5.00 out of 5$170Animal Hyperrealism Vol I is a library containing sounds themed animal vocalisations, from real to designed creatures totaling more than 1300 individual sounds in 290 files.
The sounds were partly recorded with animals trained for media production, partly recorded in zoos and wildlife centers. The asset list includes but is not limited to: african lions, bengal tigers, horses, donkeys, cows, exotic birds, owls, bobcats, pumas, dromedaries, wolves, dogs, geese, lemurs, gibbons and many more.
All the content has been recorded at 192KHz with a Sanken CO100K plus a Sennheiser 8050 for center image and a couple of Sennheiser MKH8040 for stereo image. All files are delivered as stereo bounce of these four mics, though in some instances an additional couple of CO100K was added to the sides.
The resulting ultrasonic spectrum is rich and allows for truly extreme manipulation of the content.
Bonus: Two extra libraries included for free: This library also includes two additional releases from Mattia Cellotto - for free: Crunch Mode delivers 230 crunchy sounds made with a variety of vegetables, fresh bread, pizza crust and a selection of frozen goods. The Borax Experiment gets you 158 squishy, gory, slimy and gooey sounds. -
Animal Sound Effects Collections Animal Hyperrealism Vol II Play Track 2000+ sounds includedRated 5.00 out of 5$170Animal Hyperrealism Vol II is a library containing sounds themed animal vocalisations, from real to designed creatures totaling more than 2000 individual sounds in 283 files.
The sounds were partly recorded with animals trained for media production, partly recorded in zoos and wildlife centers. The asset list includes but is not limited to: amur leopards, bottlenose dolphins, californian sealions, pacific walruses, red ruffed lemurs, owls, parrots, dwarf little fruit bats, hamsters, guinea pigs and many more.

A special section of the library features samples recorded at 384KHz. For these sounds an additional microphone was employed, specifically the CMPA by Avisoft-Bioacoustics which records up to 200 KHz. This microphone was actually used to record most of the library but the 384KHz format was preserved only where energy was found beyond 96KHz not to occupy unnecessary disk space.
All files are delivered as stereo bounce of these for mics, though in some instances an additional couple of CO100K was added to the sides.

This collection comes in two parts. The transportation portion, and Transit Chimes.
Transit Chimes: Transit Chimes are the sounds you hear all the time on public transportation. Dings, dongs, attention getters. This collection of 70 sound effects gives everything you need to satisfy your craving for these noises. Use them in your productions, or start your own transit system.
Transportation: People are always going somewhere. And they sure make lots of noise doing it. Just about anything that moves people or freight can be found here.

Quietsub FX Video Transition Sound Effects
A great collection of 128 Video Transition Sound Effects. These are designed to be used at video edit points to add impact.
Video Editors will enjoy these video transition effects. In recent years, sound effects began appearing in videos to accompany the actual visual edit. This was the inspiration for creating this collection.
There’s no better way to add depth to video edits than with short sounds and ramps. These work great with short video breakup visuals and flashes.
This collection is made up of various wipes and transitions.
Cut away. Chop, Hack etc. These sounds will make those video transitions more interesting.
