11 new sound libraries Asbjoern Andersen


This week on A Sound Effect, we have new sound libraries that range from wacky to iconic to straight up magical.

For your orchestra pieces, check out a new woodwind expansion and the third installment of the 'The Orchestra Complete' - or if you're looking for something more contemporary, check out the bundle of guitar pedal IRs.

For something with an engine, we have recordings of a 1979 Toyata Corolla and a 20-foot boat to satisfy both land and sea.

If you're in need of sounds for animated comedies, you're in luck! We have two new collections.

And if you're looking for new textures, check out the extensive plastic collection, various coinage, and a new volume of magic spells.

Happy listening!
