This week on A Sound Effect, we have an interesting mix of sounds that aren't so easy to capture.
We have traditional Finnish instruments like a Reindeer Antler Whistle, Birch Trumpet, and 3-stringed Jouhikko.
Other unique new libraries includes sounds of a female cockapoo puppy, a fart machine, an iFlight UAD, an intimidating Russian game character, English steam trains, and lots of smartphone Foley.
You can also hear fascinating new ambiences, including two new collections from Bulgaria, roomtones from restaurants, recordings of rivers and creeks, and sounds from airports and planes. Happy listening!
