This week on A Sound Effect, we have five new libraries that are useful for all sorts of genres. We have a collection of gun shells that ring and ping as they bounce off various surfaces, police and ambulance sirens from all over Europe and the Americas, detailed whooshes for your spaceships and film trailers, delightful UI SFX from the master of onomatopoeia, and beautifully immersive soundscapes from Canada’s wintery wildernesses. Whether you’re looking for subtly authentic sounds or ones that captivate (and might even influence your animation), we have a great selection this week!

Plus, the library is available for Kontakt so you can control filters, noise gates, ADSR envelopes, and effects and easily implement them in your trailer or composition! If your film or game needs a little speed, this is the library for you.

Gun Shell SFX Collection
 
  • Firearms Sound Effects Gun Shell SFX Collection Play Track 3647 sounds included $49

    The Gun Shell sound effects library features a comprehensive collection of sounds made with empty gun shell casings. Including 12 different shell types, 7 surfaces, and a huge amount of takes (3600+ files in total), this library is more than just a collection of falling shell sounds. It includes shells colliding with each other, rolling, bouncing, being picked up, and more.

    These expressive little sounds can add the essential detail in your project, or you can use them creatively to craft totally new sound effects layers for weapons or item/coin pick up. Ammo box handling foley and bullet belt link sounds are also included.

    Included calibers / shell types: 

    7.62×39mm • 7.62×54mmR • 9mm • .22LR • .30-06 • .38 SPL • .44 MAG • .45 ACP • .223 REM • .308 WIN • 12-gauge Shotgun Paper Shell • 12-gauge Shotgun Plastic Shell

    Recorded in a quiet studio environment in 96 kHz / 24 bit, these well-edited and meta-tagged sound clips make it easy to add the perfect gun shell sounds in your projects. In addition to a massive amount of variations of shells falling on different surfaces, the sounds are useful for sweetening bullet impacts, creating collect/pick up sound assets, and pitch-shifting them to create totally new sci-fi weapons.

    An informative PDF spec sheet is included with a lot of details about the shells. There you can easily find example firearms using the specific cartridge to accurately match the correct shell sounds with the guns in your projects.

    Two variations included:

    The library comes in two versions: One with multiple takes in a single audio clip, the other has a new audio clip for each shell drop. Both versions are included with this library.

'Gun Shell SFX Collection' by Effect Sense is an extensive collection of over 3,600 sounds of cartridges landing on different surfaces. It features the pings and pops of 12 types of casings with nubby pistol ammo for the 9mm and .45 ACP, hefty rifle ammo, and the very distinct bounce of 12-gauge plastic shells. Each of these gauges of rounds fall on concrete, wood, carpet, thick metal, rumbling metal, gravel, and dirt, giving you plenty of options for your scenes. For sounds that put your players right behind your game's weapons, give this library a listen.
