It’s time for us to introduce you to some of the new sound libraries available on A Sound Effect – and we have some great bundles and sources that are hard to find except by these outstanding field recordists.
Are you looking for sounds from a farmer’s market in Shenzen? Or perhaps zebras fighting or a grunting hippo in Botswana? How about sounds of real audience laughter and authentic cheers from excited sports fans? You can find all of that here, as well as the rare sounds of a custom 1930 Ford Model A, a 1967 Triumph Bonneville, a Soviet Mosin-Nagant rifle, and clean ice surface cracks from that short time of the year when thick ice quickly thaws.
You can also hear raw and designed foam guns, trailer rises designed by a blockbuster expert, unworldly atmospheres, a handpicked selection of clicks and switches, a detailed collection of Medieval Foley, interesting radio transmission experiments, all the elements you need to throw a huge party, and two bundles of BMW cars and Renault cargo vans. Happy listening!
