Sound effects libraries highlighted in this episode:

Aircraft - Jet/Propeller Plane Sound Effects Blimp Airship Play Track 61+ sounds included $39

Rare close-up recordings of a blimp engine (2x Goodyear with 154 kW) .

A unique propeller motor with a well-known and reconizable sound.

I was able to spend a short time during an engine test with one of the few airships in the world, a WDL blimp in Essen, Germany. The engine performed three different constant RPMs and all the transitions plus some additional rev-ups. I was able to record the noises with up to three mono mics (one on the engine and the other two a bit further away) and a stereo set up (onboard in the cabin most of the time). Check the file list for details.

In addition I recorded one ambience with a fly-by and the cabin doors opening and closing, some knobs being pushed and the air valve operating.

All files meta-tagged and use the UCS naming system.

Fire Sound Effects Dark Magic Play Track 1369 sounds included
Rated 5.00 out of 5
$149

Dark Magic is a sonic portal into the realm of evil. This diverse collection of sound gives you everything you need to create magic spells and dynamic energies spanning the ethereal to the visceral. Focusing on universal categories like combustion, air, liquid, and vocals, these sounds were recorded and designed for their embodiment of fear, anger, and sorrow. Use the pre designed magic spells, whooshes and explosions, or create your own from the large collection of sonic building blocks included in this library. These sounds are useful as sweeteners outside of the magic genre as well, since so many of them have compelling vocal qualities that add personality and emotion to any design.
