This week on A Sound Effect, we have so much content, it would take you days to listen to it all. There are ambiences from the hills of LA, brooks and streams in British Columbia, boreal forests of Finland, and race tracks in India. You can also hear a Yamaha YZ250 show off its agility, hours of ‘odds and ends’, experimental bubble wrap, six horrific monsters, and distorted hardware impacts. With so many surround ambiences and edgy designed sounds, there is plenty to consider for your next project.
'Los Angeles Skylines' by Kaibrary has almost 4 hours of surround ambiences from La La Land’s various rooftops, coasts and mountain ranges. Each of its 15 ambiences is an incredible 15-20 minutes long, giving you not only individual evolving soundscapes but also several loop and start points. You’ll hear a wash of traffic from various distances; plus, the metadata is detailed with flags to indicate notable points in these long recordings. Whether you’re creating an open world game or an L.A.-based TV show, these sounds will have your traffic ambiences covered.
'Audioville’s Day At The Races' by The AudioVille is a massive collection of India’s race tracks. This library has Formula 4 cars, Rotax cars, stunt vehicles, and sports bikes, giving you memorable passbys at various speeds, revving, idling, tire squeals, and more from individuals and groups of racing fiends. You’ll also hear pit and garage ambiences, PA commentary, crowd noises, and essentially whatever you’d expect to hear at a highly competitive racetrack. For over 12 hours of zooms and squeals, be sure to check this one out.
'Ambisonic Forest – Spring' by Soundreorganized transports you to Finland’s famous boreal forests that have inspired folklore for generations. These secluded recordings feature woodpeckers and crows, melting snow, and breezes and wind through the spruces and birches in an ambisonic format and stereo mixdown. Each recording lasts a mode of 11 minutes and was captured at various times throughout the day. Give the binaural demo a listen and experience Finland's pohjoinen havumetsävyöhyke.
'Yamaha YZ250 Dirt Bike' by Watson Wu gets you 50 recordings of a fast, buzzing bike. The library captures this 250cc, 5-speed machine with recordings of its foley, revving, onboard sounds from the driver's point of view, and various passbys and startups. Plus, the collection has MS shotgun recordings that follow this 214-pound machine for the perfect solution to an intense chase scene. If you need a variety of dirt bike sounds from nimble perspectives, give this one a listen.
'Odds and Ends' by Kaibrary will add a little more of that 'something' to your collection. This huge library has nearly ten hours of sounds on 633 files, featuring everything from spaceship ambiences to barking sea lions. You’ll find foley of swishes, whooshes and props, ambiences of forests, submarines and airplanes as well as the doors and latches from the crafts' cabins. Plus, you’ll hear musical instruments, animals, appliances, alarms, designed sounds and much more. Whether you have a subscription to an online stockpile or you're just starting out, you’ll find plenty of useful sounds here.
'River Mountain Runoff' by Tall Tale Sound takes you to the beautiful parks of British Columbia to hear the peaceful ambiences of their water sources. Featuring babbling brooks, trickling streams, and rushing waterfalls, this library gives you 21 flowing sounds, making up over an hour of content for your outdoor scenes. Each track sounds like fresh, clean water with no birds or wind to ruin the moment, and they are also loopable for interactive environments. To help your audience feel the rushing waters of Spring, this is the one you want.
'Six Monsters' by Lukáš Tvrdoň introduces you to a ghastly cast: Black Boss, Behemoth, Ghoul, Twin Head, Cruel Goblin, and Dead Baby. Each monster has a distinct anatomy for a variety of expressions that will send chills up your spine. With brutal screams, piercing attacks, mutated deaths, demonic speaking, and more, these creatures will fit right in as your game's antagonists or add a creepy atmosphere to your ambiences. Just give the demo a listen - but remember, hiding under the covers won’t save you!
'Impact' by Glitchedtones has 100 glitchy sounds that have been manipulated in the extreme style we’ve come to expect from these sound designers. The collection features sounds of abstract destruction of laptops, cell phones, and handheld gaming devices for collisions, explosions, designed drumkits, crunchy debris, and even robotic movements. Each sound has been disfigured beyond recognition to create effects for edgy, stylistic industrial/EDM music or provocative film and game trailers. Did we mention they're a steal?
'Pop That Bubble Wrap' by All You Can Eat Audio features one of our haptically favorite sounds and takes it to the max. This library has nearly 3 hours of - you guessed it - popping bubble wrap, but while it’s fun to squeeze each one between your fingers, that concept is too easy for these sound designers. Instead, they stretch, rub, and pop the bubble wrap with pens and drills, and even fill it with water via a syringe. All together there are thousands of effects for over two and half hours of all the popping goodness you could hope for.
