new sound effects Asbjoern Andersen


Wow, there’s been an explosive amount of new sound effects libraries from the indie SFX community! So many, in fact, that we’ll be splitting this week’s roundup into two. Featured in this recap are the rugged sounds of wood working and motorcycles, native sounds from Ethiopia, dramatic creaks and trailer music, and several noises from recording “mistakes” to signals, feedback and UI sounds.
Anarchy
 
  • Mechanical Sound Effects Anarchy Play Track 204+ sounds included, 195 mins total $16

    The booming and serrated voice of a 100th anniversary edition American classic is upon you. And this Fat Boy had quite a lot to say. Mostly in a dialect of deliciously loud and explosive transients.

    You’ll find that this library not only covers glorious engine dynamics and potato-y straight pipes, but also various switches, mechanics, linkages, electrical functions, the horn, and even a guardian bell. There are pass-bys and encircled recordings in both mono and MS formats (the latter of which are left raw for you to decode at gain and width settings appropriate to your needs), static running captures, and a structure of engine throttling that can give you delicate control over the engine’s power.

'Anarchy' by Eiravaein Works is a dissection of the classic American Fat Boy. This library contains recordings of the pipes, switches, horn, mechanics, linkages, electrical functions and guardian bell, along with pass-bys, engine throttling and encircling for flexible interactive use. Each set was recorded with maximum headroom; however, the crew even included two experimental recordings that took the brunt of the motorcycle's wide open throttle.
 
Motherland Ethiopia
 
  • City Life Sound Effects Motherland Ethiopia Play Track 30 sounds included, 96 mins total $30

    Get the sounds and ambiences of Ethiopia, Africa in this very special sound effects library, featuring 1.5 hours of authentic recordings.

This library captures life in the villages, mountains and cities heard through the native language and wildlife. Families speak in echoey halls, men discuss things in intimate locations, and children play together in the distance. Also included are sounds of rain and thunder, as well as several local birds, crickets, musicians and even cats.

  • Cinematic & Trailer Sound Effects Blockbuster Trailer Play Track 502 sounds included, 81 mins total $39.20

Raw Noise
 
  • Hum, Buzz & Glitch Sound Effects Raw Noise Play Track 80+ sounds included, 20 mins total $39

    When recording and collecting sound effects, you end up with a lot of noise: Microphone hits, Plosives, Wind pops, rattles, drops. Just plain noise.

    These unwanted orphan sounds often get deleted, or end up in a some forgotten folder. Then sometimes you need a sound. A timbre that you just can't name. A raw sound that though manipulation, can become new and remarkable. That's what this SFX library is: Raw, dirty, short sounds that in the right hands – your hands – have potential. Raw Noise features 40 HD 24bit/96khz compilation tracks with a large selection of Hits, pops, plosives and transient sounds, ready for manipulation. From veteran Hollywood Sound Designer Lenny Jones.

    Most of the sounds are short, a second or two. Organized into loose categories to encourage new discoveries and new possibilities. The demo track features selections of the tracks, so you can hear the sounds as they are presented.

How many times has your recording been ruined by an unwanted noise? A nervous voice actor who overdoes every plosive, wind that tears up your recording, or an unsteady hand that seems to tap the boom mic on everything around it? 2496 Sound Effects decided it was time to collect these sounds and make their very own library out of them! In 'Raw Noises' you get 80+ noises that are perfect for when you need that sound you just can't put your finger on.
 
Woodwork (DRL)
 
  • Woodwork is a collection of high quality recordings of various machinery found in a workshop, including fret saws, sanders, dryers and a milling machine. The pack contains both stereo and mono recordings of each item, made with the XY and shotgun microphones. All sounds are 24-bit, 48 kHz, with Soundminer metadata embedded.

'Woodwork' by Digital Rain Lab is a collection of workshop machinery and all the hidden music the tools emote. With the whirling of a drill, the scratches of a sander, the pounding of a hammer, the beautiful humming of a saw, and the futuristic sound of a precise milling machine, this library is asking to be manipulated and stretched into a handmade Kraftwerk-inspired production.
 
Unsettling Creaks and Squeaks
 
  • This Sound Effects library contains 633 files that feature over 1000 sounds of unsettling and unpleasant squeaking and creaking elements. It’s a great starting point for designing a vast number of different soundscapes in various genres – from just using the sounds as general Hard Effects, to Science Fiction and Horror.
    All sounds are production ready: Cleaned, Edited, levelled, and come with embedded BWF Metadata.

    You get heavy doors and furniture creaks, screaming dry ice, creaking leather, rubber and balloons, forks on ceramic tablets, disturbing metal squeaks and much more.

'Unsettling Creaks and Squeaks' may not have sounds of blood-curdling screams or mushy gore, but these sounds will make you cringe. This library by SoundBits contains sounds of friction that unnerve in both in their physicality and their context. Doors creak, metal scratches ceramic, rubber stretches to its limits, metal contraptions struggle, leather twists, a mic suffocates within a balloon… these are the most violent sounds you can create without featuring voices or imitated carnage.
 
Signal Interference
 
'Signal Interference' by Glitchedtones contains 40 feedback loops that crackle, hum, buzz and glitch to give you layers that will enhance many scenarios, from sci-fi machinery malfunctions to futuristic robotic haze. Each track is a minute long and contains the phasing and twisting that suggest mechanical confusion and disconcertment.
 
Feedback Loop FX & Atmospheres
 
'Feedback Loop FX & Atmospheres' by Glitchedtones is a collection of atmospheres born out of interference. With 200 sounds, this library features hums, drones, feedback and more which can be used in several scenes and genres. Perhaps the navigational system is on the fritz while en route to Mars, or the radio has lost its signal while the hero is stranded in a dark forest. From classic scifi to modern horror, these sounds can emphasize the uneasy loneliness of your characters.
 
UI Sounds: Musical
 
  • UI SOUNDS: MUSICAL is a collection of 300 sound elements ranging from subtle to glitch and juicy vibrant sounds, which are ready to use in any kind of electronic user interface environment (smartphone, tablet, desktop app, web based app or site), smart TV app, wearable device app, UI demonstration videos, infographics, as well as in your games.
