9 new sound libraries Asbjoern Andersen


This week on A Sound Effect, we have new libraries with the unique sources you’ve been looking for. We have ambiences from La Gomera island, Kyivian subways, and Dutch windmills (but not the kind you’re thinking). We also have recordings from two vintage vehicles (one you could live inside), as well as EMF recordings, mech sounds, and abandoned doors from massive warehouses and mansions. Happy listening!
Windmills
 
  • Mechanical Sound Effects Windmills Play Track 27 sounds included, 62 mins total $20

    This is the windmills sound effects archive from Morten Green Sound FX

    27 soundfiles of totally 62 minutes of sound in 96 kHz 24 bit.

    The windmills recorded in this archive are 6 old 45 metre tall windmills, generating electricity on the coast of the small Danish island Orø. They are rather old and worn out, so they generate a lot of interesting noises, especially when you get very close to them.

    The structures are from metal, bolted into a concrete foundation with small openings, so you can actually get the microphones underneath the reverberant structure itself, for sounds from inside the windmills. The blades are made from glass fibre and pretty worn, so they give a lot of nice whistling noises.

    There are recordings from many different distances to the windmills, ranging from 150 m to right underneath the windmill structure.

    Most of the sound files are more than 2 minutes in length.

    Enjoy!

'Windmills' by Morten Green Sound FX has over an hour of sounds from 6 windmills off the coast of the Danish island Orø. With their worn glass fiber blades, these windmills create naturally screaming whistles and deep, hollow rumbles that can create uneasy ambiences for industrial areas and horrifying ambiences. You will hear these windmills from close-up perspectives from the inside and outside, as well as distant recordings all to way up to 150m away. For an interesting library that you won't find anywhere else, give this one a listen!
 
Bedford CA Dormobile
 
  • The Bedford CA was a British light utility vehicle, produced by Bedford Motors, based in Luton in the county of Bedfordshire, just north of London, U.K. Date of production from 1952 to 1969

    It was available in many formats, including as a conversion to a small motorhome or R.V., known as The Dormobile, made by a company in Folkstone, Kent. It came complete with a table, bench seats that converted to beds, a simple bottled-gas cooker, a sink and a small closet. It also featured an expanding roof which allowed occupants to stand up in the rear section. This model dates from 1958 and is an early version.

    All files are 96/24 and stereo, except the under bonnet (hood) recording, which is mono.

'Bedford CA Dormobile' by Immersive FX gets you the sounds of this mid-Twentieth Century British vehicle by Bedford Motors. In the motorhome model, known as The Dormobile, all the features of this apartment-on-wheels are recorded to include the sounds of its doors, engine, horn, sliding windows, closet, sink, gas cooker, and expanding roof! These vintage sounds will get you the details you need to inspire an iconic retro-futuristic vehicle for your project's alternative history. If you've never seen a camper van, especially from the '50s, you might be in for a surprise.
 
Abandoned Doors
 
  • Door Sound Effects Abandoned Doors Play Track 124+ sounds included, 53 mins total $108

    Finding the right door sound can be a pain, thus Abandoned Doors was recorded with that need in mind.

    All the 1400+ sounds were recorded in abandoned mansions and houses with unique sonic characteristics, in stereo, usually from two perspectives (inside the room and in the hallway), allowing you a great deal of choice and offering sonic diversity.

    Additionally, splitting the stereo tracks into mono will give you two more slightly different perspectives on each sound.

    The Abandoned Doors library offers a multitude of door recordings, ranging from heavy wooden doors found in turn of the century mansions to cheap old doors in an abandoned warehouse, being opened, closed, slammed, knocked on, kicked, banged on, and even hit with a bat.

    Whilst most door libraries simply name files ‘door open 01’, etc, Abandoned Doors has been carefully tagged with rich SoundMiner metadata and multiple keywords, giving you a clearer image of what a file contains just by reading the title. For more information on what kinds of sounds are present in the library, feel free to consult the metadata file down below.

    Also, if you’d like to know more about how I recorded this library, read my blog post here.

    If you have any questions about this library, feel free to quickly send me an e-mail. I tend to reply within minutes.

    Buy Abandoned Doors today and augment your sonic toolbox with over 1400+ door related sound effects, recorded at 24bit/96kHz in unique and inaccessible locations.

    iLok is an industry standard that we use to manage our BOOM Interactive software licenses (Please note: iLok is NOT required to work with our regular BOOM Library Sound FX packs). For ENFORCER, there are two different types of iLok protection available:

    MACHINE LICENSE: This activation option is FREE. You can deposit the software license on the computer where you’re running the software. You don’t need an additional iLok USB device. All you need is a valid account on www.ilok.com and the free iLok license manager software.

    USB-DONGLE: If you already own a 2nd generation or newer portable iLok USB device, you can deposit the license on the device instead of your computer. Please note that a lot of software plug in creators use the iLok system, so if you already own a 2nd generation (or newer) iLok USB device, you don’t need to purchase another one and if you purchase an iLok USB device now you can use it with software from other manufacturers (one iLok to rule them all).

    An iLok device can be purchased directly at ilok.com or – if you want to purchase from outside the USA – here. Additionally, you can get an iLok device from the most music or audio software retailers.

'Enforcer' by BOOM Library is a bass plug-in that will make your floors rumble. Coming in VST, AU, and AAX format for Windows and Mac, this project can add punch to your weapon sounds, synthetic bass to your popular music, and kick to your drums, with tunable bass energy and tons of presets.
