This week on A Sound Effect, we have new sound libraries that can put you in the middle of a packed stadium or take you on a solitary underwater journey. There are crowd sounds from Italian soccer games and various musical venues, and ambiences from inside car cabins or deep in the ocean. You can also hear foley of whooshing fire effects, cleaning dishes, wood and glass debris, and two new options for buying and implementing the Edward footstep and foley packs. These detailed textures definitely have the final touches you need for your sound design!
Dive Deep

    Go on an underwater adventure with Dive Deep: This library brings all you need to ‘play’ the depth and heaviness of the underwater world.

    The library consists of more than 50 diverse tracks, divided into the following categories:
    • Water Flow – the feel of water-stream rushing, often complemented with distant bubbles, and various noises.
    • Bubbles / Small Bubbles – deep bubbling of all sizes and perspectives.
    • Distant – rather static, yet still decently evolving ambients of diverse characters.
    • Near Machine – water flow with eerie engine resonation tones.

    All the sounds, having fully organic origin, were post-designed to be ready for both realistic and aesthetics-demanding applications.

'Dive Deep' by Lukáš Tvrdoň takes you to the depths of an excursion with a collection that features booming, enclosed underwater atmospheres. Included are 50 designed sounds that give you rushing water, eerie submerged engines, lots of bubbles, distant splashes, and more. The sounds range from half a minute to over five minutes and will inspire your sound design with their thick atmospheres. If you need sounds that make you feel like the surface is out of reach, then listen to this library.

Crowds – Audiences
 
  • What if you never again had to worry about the perfect ambience sounds for crowded concert audiences? What if you could just drag two files into your project and you’re in control over applauding, cheering or shouting masses? Our CROWDS – CONCERT AUDIENCES sound effects library does exactly that.

    YOU’RE THE MASTER OF CEREMONY
    CROWDS – CONCERT AUDIENCES is your best choice for designing realistic crowded concert audience ambiences with ease. Packed with thousands of single files for almost every possible scenario, we bring you the world’s probably biggest sound FX library of this kind and the ultimate concert audience toolkit. From smaller more intimate aulas or clubs to the huge and heavy sound of an enthusiastic open air or stadium atmosphere, you get a seemingly unlimited amount of real-live ambiences to conveniently pick from.

    WHAT WE RECORDED
    We went out and recorded aulas, studios, clubs, theatres, churches, concert halls, open air festivals and stadiums. Besides the mandatory applause we also captured varied audience reactions like cheering, shouting, mumbling and screaming. All this in multiple variations to perfectly blend them together. Most of the files come in quadrophonic recordings, meaning you have each the front and the rear recording as a stereo file and can mix it the way you want.

    WHAT YOU GET
    CROWDS – CONCERT AUDIENCES bursts at the seams. As one of our biggest SFX libraries yet, with a total size of more than 24GB and more than 4.500 files, it hardly leaves anything to desire.

    EASE OF USE
    Using those sounds couldn’t be easier. Just drag and drop the SFX in your personal project and get mind-blowing results instantly.

    The files come in 48kHz/24bit WAV files. All files contain extensive metadata to provide you with the fastest and easiest workflow possible. We’re convinced that this library will be the last CROWDS – CONCERT AUDIENCES SFX library you’ll buy for a very long time.

Perhaps you needs sounds of crowds, but instead with people enjoying various musical performances. 'Crowds – Audiences' by BOOM Library has over 4,500 files and more than 24 GB of crowds in clubs, churches, theatres, concert halls, festivals, and more as they enjoy the performers who could be classical violinists, or a local garage band, or superstars who are taking over the coast. These crowds pleasantly clap, loudly cheer, applaud rhythmically, shout bravo, and much more in this collection - the largest of its kind. For sounds of audiences ranging from electrified to courteous, this one has it all!
 
The Kitchen Sink
 
  • When it comes to sound design, “Everything but the Kitchen Sink” has a whole new meaning. The Kitchen Sink Audio Prop sound effects pack is a treasure trove for sound designers, featuring a comprehensive collection of sink fills and drains, glasses, utensils, pots, and pans, all infused with soapy, sudsy goodness. This library boasts 42 high-definition sound clips, along with one in-drain impulse response, ensuring top-notch quality for your projects. With 96 kHz, 24-bit mono and stereo WAV files, complete with file lists and broadcast WAV compliant metadata, this pack is a must-have for aspiring and seasoned sound designers alike.

UberDuo says, 'We may not have everything, but we’ve got the kitchen sink covered.' - and their new library 'The Kitchen Sink' certainly does with 42 sounds of many people's least favorite chore. You will hear the sounds of dishes clanging, the sink filling and draining, cups being rinsed, bowls dried, and wet sponges cleaning utensils like cheese graters, silverware, wire whisks and more. You even get an impulse response from inside the sink drain. If you need a quick pack of kitchen sounds, give this one a listen.

    As usual the sounds come perfectly cleaned and edited so you can instantly place them in your timeline or design new sounds with it. Of course they also got some EQ and compression treatment but weren’t further “designed”, so you have nice and flexible source material for your own productions.

    All sounds come with embedded Soundminer Metadata sorted in subfolders for:• Glass
    • Metal
    • Stone
    • Wood
    • Plastic
