  • Bundles Musical Textures Play Track 863 sounds included $179

    Experience the fusion of music and sound design with, Musical Textures, the latest cinematic sound effects bundle from 344 Audio. This collection reimagines musical instrument recordings as rich, expressive sound design elements, delivering an inspiring toolkit that bridges the worlds of music and filmic storytelling.

    This is not a music library — it’s something tonal, textural, and uniquely crafted to bring musicality into the realm of cinematic sound design.

    After months of tireless work, the 344SFX team, (with the involvement of skilled musicians), captured performances from electric guitars, bells, chimes, gongs, harps, percussion and more, then meticulously transformed them into a stunning range of designed assets. The result is a library that blends musical expression with cinematic sound design, delivering sounds that feel both organic and otherworldly — ready to enhance emotion, tension, and atmosphere across your creative projects.

    Inside, you’ll discover a rich tapestry of cinematic textures: swelling risers sculpted from cymbals, thunderous hits shaped from singing bowls and percussive elements, and sharp, melodic stingers inspired by East Asian instruments. Long, enveloping drones, crafted through inventive sound design — add tension and atmosphere, while deep subs, lush pads, ethereal ambiences, and harmonic tonal beds bring emotional depth and tonal complexity. You’ll also find a selection of short, expressive musical performances, ideal for transitions, title cards, or scene changes that call for a nuanced, human touch.

    Whether you’re building transitions, accenting key moments, or shaping immersive soundscapes, Musical Textures adds tonal richness and cinematic character to your design palette.

    Every sound has been meticulously crafted by our in-house audio artisans, making this library ideal for sound designers working in film, television, trailers, and games.

    • Crack: Perfect for highlighting the snap of shattered bones and broken bodies.

    CONSTRUCTION KIT (2653 Sounds – 483 Files)

    For our Construction Kit, we wanted to give you the best of both worlds to meet (or should we say meat) all your needs. You’ll get cleaned raw recordings for full flexibility in your own processing, plus pre-processed and layered sounds to spark creativity, fuel inspiration, and give you everything you need for hyperrealistic gore design.

    Our Construction Kit includes:

    • Blood: Vile drips, juicy splatters, and bone-chilling squeezes.

  • Destruction & Impact Sounds Metamorphosis Play Track 2328 sounds included $190

    Metamorphosis is a huge collection of recorded source, synthesized material and hybrid sounds. The library was created to cover a wide range of themes, with rich textures, aggressive impacts and a large selection of pass bys, bass drops, pyrotechnics and many more types of material.

    All of the Recorded Section was captured at 384KHz with microphones capable of recording up to 200KHz among with more conventional mics. The resulting assets are sounds that can be stretched to new extremes for greater sound design opportunities.
    In many cases I took the liberty to slow down the assets while editing the sounds to deliver what I thought was the most useful version of a given recording though in most cases I have also included other takes at the original 384KHz sample rate to get the best of both worlds.

    All of the Synthesized Content was created in Serum while the Hybrid Section was created by manipulating the Recorded and Synthesized sounds.

    Techniques such as morphing were used to blur the lines in between the nature of the two sources, making for ambiguous yet extremely versatile material that can be employed on both realistic and abstract designs.

    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.
