Posted December 16, 2018 by Adriane Kuzminski in New sound effects libraries

This week, if you are looking for binaural sound libraries you are in luck! We have sounds of England’s southern beaches, ethereal breaths, and motorcycle wind noises that were all recorded binaurally, just waiting to wow your audience’s ears.

We also have contact mic recordings of piano and cellos, a new gunshot sound library, drones with abstract timbres, ambiences from lakes in Midwest cities and jungles in Laos, and a massive collection of soldier gear Foley and footsteps. Happy listening!

MOVES is a collection of character foley clothing and gear movements that cover a large range of characters such as Special Forces, Medieval Soldier, World War Soldier, Policeman, and High-tech Soldier among many others.

MOVES will make a great addition to your sonic arsenal and help you achieve that personal character sound that you have in your head. MOVES does not replace a Veteran Foley artist, but will come in handy if you have a restricted budget or if you need a good sound to enhance the movements of your characters.

You get several walks, runs and stop movements for every type of character.

Two versions included:To speed up your workflow, the library comes with two versions of the same content, tailored for people working either in the Video Game or the Cinema industry:

• Video Game Workflow: For every variation, you will have a single wav file, making it ideal for people who like to have every sound already cut and ready to be used in their DAW or middleware. It consists of 772 sounds.
• Cinema Workflow You will find several variations of the sounds in single wav files here. It consists of 151 wav files sounds.

And as mentioned, both versions are included, so you can pick whatever works best for your way of working.

Features props and characters such as:
Bullet-proof vest, medieval chain mail, dress, leather jacket, old robot, policeman, World War II soldier, Special Forces, Thin Android, Winter Jacket, medieval foot soldier, plastic character, rattle character, shield, sword, weapons, helmets, high tech soldier, winter jacket

As always, all sounds are embedded with useful Soundminer metadata. I really hope you will find this collection inspiring and useful in your future projects.

Have a great day designing your new characters with MOVES!

Best wishes,
Michel Marchant.

Train Sound Effects Train Life 3 Play Track 28+ sounds included, 37 mins total $30

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.
