Urban Explosions


 
  • Welcome to the world's biggest explosion sound effects library:

    When you carry the word „BOOM“ in your company name, your first dedicated explosion sound effects library should be a decent one. For the recordings, we teamed up with the sound department of EA DICE (Battlefield, Star Wars Battlefront) and we created the biggest explosion sound FX library ever. DICE uses the recordings heavily to impressively blow up the world in their AAA title Battlefield V and now you can get the recordings and our ready-to-use designed sounds in stereo and 5.1 surround for your very own projects. It’s a highly explosive pack with 13.4GB of explosion sound effects.

    Urban Explosions Construction Kit:

    Recorded in real urban environments
    Why Urban Explosions? Most explosions in movies, games or trailers don’t happen out on a plain field, they happen in urban environments with buildings around them that shape the character of the explosion sound in a very specific way. The special thing about our urban explosions sound FX library is that it has been recorded in a real urban environment, so you get super-realistic reverbs and tails instead of artificially processed post-production reverbs or tails that don’t sound urban at all. For the sake of completeness, we also recorded a non-urban explosion on a plain field, so you’re covered here as well.

    Multi-Channel Recordings with up to 42 Channels
    We had a lot of microphones with us and we placed them in all possible positions around the explosion spot. We have very close mics, close mics, medium distance mics, distant mics, mics in front of buildings, mics behind buildings, mics inside of buildings. Each explosion in the URBAN EXPLOSIONS CONSTRUCTION KIT comes with a minimum of 24 channels, including a 4 channel ambisonic file, so you can simply drag all channels to your DAW and easily mix the sound exactly as you want.

    Sweeteners
    You’re looking for a more supernatural sound or your mix misses a bit of impact, smack, punch, tail, cackling, rumbling or character? No problem, the CONSTRUCTION KIT has a lot of great high-quality sweeteners that will easily enrich your mix in the desired way.

    Urban Explosions Designed:

    Incredibly versatile
    Our DESIGNED edition comes with a myriad of ready-to-use explosion sound FX in the categories INDOOR, NEUTRAL & URBAN, each of them in SMALL, MEDIUM & LARGE explosion sizes. Beyond that, you have the choice between MEDIUM and FAR distances, FAST or SLOW explosions and a MODERN, SOFT, CRISP or DISTORTED character. With this range of sounds, you’re certainly sure to find the right one for your scene.

    Stereo & 5.1 Surround
    In addition to the stereo version our sound designers created 5.1 surround versions for each sound so you are fully prepared to implement your creative surround vision with ease.

    Designed by 4 Award-Winning Sound Designers
    We consider sound design as a craftsmanship and we’re very happy and proud to rely on the talent of four awesome sound designers that really know their trade.

    Urban Explosions Bundle:

    THE BUNDLE – The best of both worlds at a discounted price
    The Bundle gives you the full sound design power as it contains both – the DESIGNED and the CONSTRUCTION KIT edition at a discounted price.

Vespa 1962 - 125Cc


 
  • This sound collection covers a wide range of sounds produced by the Vintage 125CC motorcycle Vespa 1962 . All sounds recorded with high end equipment – 24 bit and 96KHz
    All the files are mono. The stereo impression in the demo is created by means of panning.

    In this collection of high quality sound-recordings you’ll find several tandem and multitrack recordings. Please note that phasing issues between the MKH 8070 and the DPA4061’s are perfectly normal because of fluctuating time differences. The 4061’s are always onboard, fixed and in phase in contrast to the MKH8070 which was handheld on the roadside or handheld pointing at the exhaust while driving along as a passenger.

    Besides that also important to note:
    The 5 LOOPED SOUNDS are not unique. They
    are edits from the larger driving sounds. I just put these in for your convenience should you
    quickly need some loops for your project. This is also true for one of the the Revs soundfiles.
    (Heavy revs) I thought I just cut this one too for your convenience to quickly have a list of all
    relevant revs in this library. So those six soundfiles are the only double content.

    Equipment:
    Recorders

    • Sound Devices Mixpre 6
    • Zoom H5

    Microphones

    • Sennheiser MKH8070 (handheld for tracking at roadside and handheld onboard pointing at exhaust for extra perspective in addition to 4061’s
    • DPA 4061 (2 x mono: exhaust and engine)

Essential Sound - Darkness And Fear


 
  • This is a dense library of accomplished and cacophonous sounds. This is a dramatic and horror filled library, teaming with tension and ghostly ambience, stingers and hits.
    Most of these sounds have been used in film and television in one form or another. They’re more than just “designy sounds”.

    These are intended to create a score of tension that can help you build a scene to it’s full potential. These sounds add movement within the soundtrack, especially with the drones, stingers, hits and demonic lingerings.

    If you’re looking to notch your project up a level with intensity, mood and expressive design, this may be a step in the right direction. Hopefully you’ll have as much inspiration as I did when creating these.

Vintage Telephones


 
  • Vintage Telephones SFX library contains 244 sounds extracted from 10 vintage, rotary dial devices manufactured between the 1880s and 1980s. In this library, you’ll find three common ringing patterns (used in the USA, Australia, and Europe) for each telephone type, handset pickups/set downs, number dials 1-0, hook toggles, as well as single ringings with natural long ring decays to design your own ring timings according to your project needs.

    As an addition to the standard telephone sounds, we have captured some experimental ones, that were generated by feeding the devices with random low frequencies, producing some really strange mechanical rattles, buzzes, glitches, and unusual bell rings.

    THE FOLLOWING 10 TELEPHONES WERE RECORDED

    • 3 Box Phone [1882]
    • Antique Wooden Phone [1930]
    • Siemens W48 Wandapparat [1934]

    Train Life 3 is the third library in the ever evolving sonic journey of recording trains.  I can’t quite explain it, but trains are just downright fun to record and those old industrial rail yards and tracks seem to always be calling.

    This collection includes newer more recent recordings and is a good addition for anyone that has the previous Train libraries I’ve released (Train Life and Train Life 2) or who is just looking for a general collection of Exterior Freight and Passenger Trains.   You’ll find long approaches, various bys, rail clacks, a few horns.  I was also able to get some close recordings of slow connecting cars with big booms and bangs, groans and rail squeals.  A couple of those are long recordings which can provide for some really interesting sound design when pitching down.  I’ve provided booms and squeals that are more singular elements with multiple versions as well.

    This library is also part of the Train Life Bundle collection.

    Freight Trains in Transit (6) – Bys, Approaches, Air Bursts
    Passenger Trains (12) – Amtrak and Metrolink Fast Bys with Rail Clacks.  Slow Away and a couple with Horns.
    Freight Trains Mechanical (10) – Trains Connecting Cars with Booms and Bangs and Rail Squeals.

  • Voices of the Farm captures the vibrant and authentic soundscape of rural life, recorded over several years in barns, stables, fields, and farmyards across Asia, America, Africa, and Europe. From the deep lowing of cattle and the playful bleats of goats to the piercing calls of roosters at dawn and the gentle ambience of open pastures, this collection reveals the true voices and atmosphere of the countryside.

    The library includes over 500 sounds, organized into 122 files:

    • 100 focused recordings of individual animals and groups

    • 22 natural ambiences captured in real working environments such as barns, stables, meadows, chicken coops, and open fields

    All recordings are carefully edited, organized by species, and fully UCS-compliant with detailed metadata, ready for direct use in Soundminer and professional workflows. The clear folder structure makes navigation simple and efficient.

    Whether you need the quiet intimacy of a single goat bleat, the energetic life of a barnyard, or the pastoral calm of rural landscapes, Voices of the Farm offers a versatile sonic palette ideal for film, television, games, and interactive projects.

    Many of these recordings also serve as a great foundation for creature sound design, thanks to their expressive textures and organic tonal qualities.
