New sound effects: German Shepherds, magical loons, and dark ambiences

'Wimpy Dog' by Big Room Sound Inc. has 38 recordings of a German Shepherd who anxiously wants something. You'll hear his distinct and memorable whines, yelps, and barks from a close-up perspective - making them perfect for anything from commercials to cartoons to that rom-com scene where the main character can't handle his prospective father-in-law's prize pooch. If you're looking for a solo dog sound library that is free of kennel sounds and reverb, give this one a listen.

'Northern Rockies 1: Common Loons' by Thomas Rex Beverly features this most magical species of birds. Captured at the Glacier National Park in Montana, you'll hear the wondrous sounds of loons with their strange and majestic calls that echo across the nighttime and early morning skies. As it's an ambience library, you'll also hear choruses of thrushes, snipes, blackbirds, and kinglets, too, as well well as other wildlife life like chipmunks, beavers, and bats. For nature ambiences filled with the haunting sounds of loons, this is the one for you.

'DARK' by Badlands Sound has a half hour of daunting ambiences that will bring a tense atmosphere to your soundscapes. Ranging from deep rumbles to sinister, windy vibrations, these sounds can work as creepy layers or full soundscapes for your torture chambers, haunted warehouses, or threatening alleyways. Each of the library's 15 files lasts two minutes and slowly transforms during that time. For uneasy soundscapes that you can drop right into your project, check this one out.
