This week on A Sound Effect, we have five new libraries that cover a variety of places and subjects. You can hear sounds of lifting weights in an indoor gym or enjoy ambiences of suburban Chicago. You can also hear SFX of bashing a wooden fence or artfully striking a piano with a wooden mallet. Plus, we have a new car library featuring a BMW 325i. Whether you need cinematic sounds, peaceful ambiences, or specific sound effects, we’ve got you covered!
The Gym – Sounds of Bodybuilding
 
  • You want to get big? You want to get strong? Want muscles? This library brings the (sounds of the) gym – straight to your DAW!

    The Gym is a sound effects library containing recordings of typical weight room sounds (deadlift barbell, benchpress, dumbells and more), and of course the foley that you bring in the weight room (belt, gloves and similar)

    You can also use the sounds for totally other things, like the sounds that have been made in the included pre-designed folders – so let your imagination guide you, and don't forget: No pain, no gain!

'The Gym – Sounds of Bodybuilding' by Christophe Davaille gets you the sounds of pumping iron in a gym. You'll hear the clings and clangs of placing weights on the barbells, bench pressing, lifting dumbbells, power lifting, and more. You'll also hear what goes on before and in between workouts like getting water, putting on lifting gloves, and attaching a phone armband. If your characters like to lift things up and put them down, this is the library for you.
 
Wooden Fence Destruction
 
  • This library delivers a huge number of recordings of various snaps, drops, scrapes and impacts created by venting anger on a large wooden fence panel. 471 of the 519 included sounds were recorded at 44.1KHz/24-bit stereo and the remaining 48 were recorded at 44.1KHz/16-bit stereo. Ideal for any destructive sound!

    Also included in the “2017 InspectorJ Bundle” for 50% off!

'Wooden Fence Destruction' by InspectorJ has over 500 sounds of just what the title says. With sounds of bashing, dropping, scraping, snapping, cracking, and shaking a wooden fence, you'll get tons of SFX for wooden debris and impacts in your projects. The library also includes recordings of sawing and rummaging through the pieces, as well as raw and designed sounds. If you need the sounds of wood being demolished, this library should have you covered.
 
Piano, Mallet Strikes and FX
 
  • Destruction & Impact Sounds Piano, Mallet Strikes and FX Play Track 463-972 sounds included, 104 mins total From: $25

    Have you ever dreamt of attacking a piano with a metal mallet? Dream no more! This library is available in two versions, a discounted bundle, and also in the further discounted “2017 InspectorJ Bundle” for 50% off!

    Piano, Mallet Strikes: (1.44 GB)
    Recorded at 96kHz/24-bit stereo, this collection of sounds brings you 463 sampler-based metal mallet strikes with five variations. As opposed to playing the piano normally, these sounds were created by striking the string with a metal mallet, creating a harsher attack and a unique plucky percussive sound.

    The sounds have been mapped to Kontakt 5 patches for quicker playing (requires the full version of Kontakt 5), but the raw files are also included. The five different samplers offer you a wide variety of durations:

    Damped instantly (84 sounds; five octaves)
    Damped after 1 second (97 sounds; seven octaves)
    Damped after 2 seconds (97 sounds; seven octaves)
    Damped after 5 seconds (88 sounds; six octaves)
    Sustained fully (97 sounds; seven octaves)

    Piano, Mallet FX: (1.62 GB)
    This collection of sounds brings you 509 FX sounds of various scrapes, hits and glissandos across the piano strings with a metal mallet, offering significant number of variations. Every sound was recorded at 96kHz/24-bit stereo.
    Piano, Mallet Strikes and FX: (3.06 GB)
    This collection of sounds is a discounted bundle of two libraries – “Piano, Mallet FX” and “Piano, Mallet Strikes” – to give you 509 FX sounds of various scrapes, hits and glissandos across the strings, as well as 463 sampler-based mallet strikes with five variations. Every sound was recorded at 96kHz/24-bit stereo.
'Piano, Mallet Strikes and FX' by InspectorJ is a library that will show you where all those cool, creepy cinematic sounds come from! Using a metal mallet and a piano, this surreal hand-made library has nearly 1,000 sounds that include strikes, scrapes, and glissandos, as well as metal strikes that cover the full range of the piano and give you five types of natural reverb, from instant dampening to full sustains. For musical use, you can map this library to your own sampler, or use the Groove Agent files to create some memorable solos!
 
Suburbs of Chicago: Spring
 
'Suburbs of Chicago: Spring' by All You Can Eat Audio shows off the residential areas of this great city. With sounds of distant cars and motorcycles, roaring lawnmowers, dogs and bird calls, rustling leaves, wind chimes, and even a tennis match, you'll get a sense of peaceful Midwestern living. Each file ranges from 2 minutes to 55 minutes, so you'll have plenty of options for how you choose to use them! If you're looking for sounds of people enjoying spring after a long winter, check this one out.
