Whooshes Tiny Transitions 2 Play Track 320-670 sounds included ~~From: $29.20~~ From: $21.90

“Tiny Transitions 2” is the successor to the very popular Tiny Transitions sound effects library.

If you already knew the first library you know what to expect: even more, even better and more versatile to bring instant sonic support for all kinds of small animations, motion graphics, pass-bys, menues, projectiles and more.

Re-load your ammo belt with not-so-intrusive production elements that come in very handy for any Sound Designer, All-In-One Film Editor or Web-, App- and Game-Developers.

All the small motion elements that you need in your everyday work for games, apps, commercial, films or general motion designs.

You get 350 ready to use designed sounds+ a composite selection of 320 cleaned and edited source soundsthat were used to design the Tiny Transitions. These sounds are mostly different props that are scraping or sliding on different surfaces and also some vocalized whoosh attempts.

If you don't need the extra source sounds you can grab the “Designed Sounds only” pack.

All source sounds were recorded with Sonosax SX-R4+ with a Sennheiser MKH8050+MKH30 M/S rig, a Sound Devices MixPre-6 with a MK8060+ATE208 M/S rig and a Sony PCM-D100. All sounds come with embedded Metadata.
