This week on A Sound Effect we have 14 new sound libraries with so many Western European ambiences it feels like free tour on the Eurorail! You can hear city ambiences from Berlin, Madrid, London, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Brussels, Brugge, and Gant, as well as French and Cantabrian countrysides, exciting football games in the Vicente Calderón Stadium, and Spanish gym ambiences. Did we mention these are pretty much all surround recordings? We also have high-tech sounds of robots and gear drones, and an extensive board game sound library. Happy listening!
Robotic Lifeforms 2

'Robotic Lifeforms 2' by SoundMorph uses some of the most advanced microphones, Kyma, and synths to bring you an advanced and modern robot library with over 2,700 designed sounds and 1,300 source audio files recorded in 192 kHz 24-bit to let you pitch the sounds and create new ones of your own.
 
  • A very flavourful and expressive vintage single-seater race car from the late 1950s !

    This car has been recorded on a private circuit. It has a very peculiar peculiarness : its engine had issues and emitted a specific staccato/typewriter type of sound. So, if you’re looking for a car with some character, look no further my good person. We at Big Pizza Sniffers always strive to deliver you something functionally broken in the best quality possible. It’s obviously not broken to the point of not working. This is a very very fast car that did very fast laps. It’s just peculiar. Listen to the demo attached.

    We’ve recorded a couple laps with 3 onboards mics, as well as exteriors with a Schoeps MS setup : a startup to drive away, an arrival to stop, and some idle on the track.

    It’s a short little library that can cover your many needs if you have a vintage/flavourful race car scene. It can also function as asmr if you’re a really big fan of the madmax movies.

Board Games - Gamedesigner's Audio Toolkit 01

'Board Games - Gamedesigner's Audio Toolkit 01' by CB_Sounddesign covers 6 main categories - dice, pawns (or meeples or checkers), tokens made of cardboard and wood, plastic pieces, and more.
 
  • The Board Game Sound Library features more than 2.350 sounds.

    These sound effects are especially useful when it comes to creating games that simulate real boardgames or modern apps featuring game mechanisms as dice rolling and moving tokens.

    The Board Game Sound Library covers 6 main categories, granting easy access to a variety of sounds — dice, pawns (or meeples or checkers) moving, tokens made of cardboard and wood, plastic pieces and many more.

    The sounds provided by the Board Game Sound Library have been carefully produced, selected, edited and tested.

    The Board Game Sound Library offers a great variety. Especially in games, sound repetitions of the same recording-take when rolling a dice or moving a pawn can bore the audience. So within this library, the sounds have been recorded in many different repetitions and variations.

    All sounds of the Board Game Sound Library are royalty-free. They may be used for private and commercial purposes.

    Provided in 96 kHz / 24bit AND 44,1 kHz / 16 bit
