The Honda VTX 1300
 
  • Motorcycle Sound Effects The Honda VTX 1300 Play Track 49+ sounds included, 45 mins total $20

    Get the sounds of the the Honda VTX 1300 – a distinctive cruiser motorcycle.

    Its 1300cc displacement is right in the sweet spot between the zippier 750 models and the massive 1800 road warriors. This particular one was equipped with a set of custom Vance and Hines Big Shots exhaust pipes early in its life, giving it a distinctive and throaty note that can be heard up and down the highway. The VTX line is also known for its distinctive transmission, which gives a meaty ‘clunk’ with every shift.

    This library is a set of recordings that were made using a combination of onboard and exterior mics at a variety of useful speeds, as well as free running on the highway. Its a smaller set, but very distinctive and useful.

    We recorded multiple channels on every movement:
    • Onboards consisted of Line audio CM3, Crown PZM and Sanken COS11 mics
    • A handheld MKH416 rig covered bys and exteriors

    After a half day of recording we had material ranging from idles and slow starts to fast bys and highway runs.

The Honda VTX is like the tenor sax of the motorcycles. It has the chunky timbre of a road king, but with more bravado and warmth. The team at echo | collective recorded this beast with onboard and exterior mics at different speeds to create a strong collection of passbys, idles, slow starts and highway travel.
 
Atmospheres of Rwanda
 
  • Environments & Ambiences Atmospheres of Rwanda Play Track 52+ sounds included, 140 mins total $40

    Get the ambiences and atmospheres of Rwanda, Africa in this sound effects library recorded by Ana Monte. It features recordings from around the capital of Kigali, suburbs, markets, sewing shop, rooftop and roadside recordings, as well as countryside, forest and hillside recordings.

While filming a documentary in Rwanda, Ana Monte captured these 53 beautiful ambiences. Listen to the pleasant sing-songiness of the Kinyarwanda language trickling around the suburbs and markets of Kigali as well as the peaceful forest and hillside ambiences marked by birds and cicadas.
 
Atmospheres of Kurdistan
 
This ambient library was also recorded by Ana Monte while filming a documentary in Kurdistan. It contains 50 minutes of ambiences around the citadel to include busy bazaars, prayers from loudspeakers, temple atmospheres, sounds from the Lalish village, and large water birds that have migrated from the shoreline.
 
Urban Crows
 
  • Bird Sound Effects Urban Crows Play Track 31 sounds included, 90 mins total $25

    Urban Crows is a library full of interesting sounds of single crows and swarms.

    These proud birds deserve a lot more attention than they usually get. They are amazingly intelligent, social and by no means aggressive or monotonous when it comes to their communication capabilities.

    The library evolved throughout winter 2015/16 and was taken from the attic of a house surrounded by trees were the crows frequently stayed overnight. So it was a great pleasure to record them arriving in the evenings as well as hearing them chatting during the dawn. They have a huge arsenal of clearly distinguishable single caws, funny sighs or nervous screams that often evolved to a huge cluster of noises that became stronger when the church bells began to ring and the sun came up.

    All takes are recorded in Mid-Side stereo, with Sennheiser MKH-70 shotgun for a strong mid-signal and AKG-C394B for the ambience. The total playing time of the library is approx. 1h 30min.

Recordist Stephan Marche captured more than 1.5 hours of sounds of single crows and swarms. They were recorded both evenings and mornings, as they were going about their crowy business in a group of trees - and the library features some fine of their advanced communication abilities.
