We also have plenty of sci-fi beeps and buzzes, portals that’ll take you to another time or world, angelic drones, demonic choirs, and particles of rocky debris and real-time manipulated dust to keep your sound designs interesting. Whether you’re looking for earthly speed or otherworldly tones, we have plenty for you to hear.
Warped Choir
 
  • A filmic sound construction kit for teasers, trailers & promos

    ‘Warped Choir’ is the latest state-of-the-art sound effects library from U.S.O. which continues to cross the border between music and sound design.

    Warped Choir provides a wide range of meticulously crafted stereo and 5.1 surround sound elements ready to be pumped in your trailer, video game or other audiovisual projects.

    Warped Choir contains more than 200 massive dynamic impacts, transitions, soundscapes, epic vocal rises and whooshes, all designed from scratch using a choir concert recording as the unique waveform source in the Symbolic Sound Kyma workstation (many thanks to La Coral Salvé – Laredo, Cantabria | www.coralsalve.com).

    When it comes to creating new musical ideas, video and sound editors, sound designers, but also composers, can find inspiration in this intriguing must-have collection.

'Warped Choir' is a library that not only gives you a collection of vocal sounds, you also get ultra-modern, emotive design from the clever artists at Unidentified Sound Object. Containing 270 sounds, you will find thick crescendos, ghostly soundscapes, hair-raising stingers, and deep swells crafted for Stereo and 5.1 imaging. It also includes raw samples so you can create your own versions to send shivers up your audience's spines—but if you need to get their attention right away, this library should do the trick!

Dust
 
  • The first VST/AAX/AU plug-in from SoundMorph, DUST is a synthesizer plugin based on a real-time particle simulation, where each particle is a separate granulating sound source. The motion of each particle is determined by the flow field, which determines the force applied to each particle at each point.

    Just like how the flow of a river determines the path of a leaf floating down in it. This is our most ambitious software release to date, and you are going to love it! Not only is DUST addictive to play with, but it generates some of the coolest sounds you've ever created.

    DUST highlights:

    • Presets by Richard Divine, Ivo Ivanov, Robert Clouth, Yan David
    • 8 particle emitters
    • convolution reverb
    • Binaural Audio Panning
    • Save and recall presets
    • Custom Flow Field equations
    • over 60 sounds included
    • import your own sounds
    • 4 modulation options on parameters
    • Available in VST, VST3, AAX and Audio Unit format
    • Compatible with Mac and PC (32 bit and 64 bit)
    • Compatible with most major Daws


    System Requirements:

    An Intel® Mac with Mac OS X 10.9 (or later), OR a PC with Windows 7 (or later); Multicore processor; 2 GB RAM; 1024×768 display.

In their foray into VST/AAX/AU plugins, SoundMorph has developed a real-time particle simulator, which is just as cool as it sounds. 'Dust' has eight particle emitters to help you get the exact movement you need for convincing your audience. It also has convolution reverb, custom equations, binaural audio panning, and the ability to save presets or use those developed by Richard, Ivo, Robert and Yan themselves! To add an element of human touch and play to your sound design, this is one not to be missed.

  • Animal Sound Effects Collections Animal Hyperrealism Vol II Play Track 2000+ sounds included $180

    Animal Hyperrealism Vol II is a library containing sounds themed animal vocalisations, from real to designed creatures totaling more than 2000 individual sounds in 283 files.

    The sounds were partly recorded with animals trained for media production, partly recorded in zoos and wildlife centers. The asset list includes but is not limited to: amur leopards, bottlenose dolphins, californian sealions, pacific walruses, red ruffed lemurs, owls, parrots, dwarf little fruit bats, hamsters, guinea pigs and many more.

    The content has been recorded at 192KHz with a Sanken CO100K plus a Sennheiser 8050 for center image and a couple of Sennheiser MKH8040 for stereo image.
    A special section of the library features samples recorded at 384KHz. For these sounds an additional microphone was employed, specifically the CMPA by Avisoft-Bioacoustics which records up to 200 KHz. This microphone was actually used to record most of the library but the 384KHz format was preserved only where energy was found beyond 96KHz not to occupy unnecessary disk space.
    All files are delivered as stereo bounce of these for mics, though in some instances an additional couple of CO100K was added to the sides.
    The resulting ultrasonic spectrum is rich and allows for truly extreme manipulation of the content.

    Bonus: Two extra libraries included for free:
    This library also includes two additional releases from Mattia Cellotto - for free: Crunch Mode delivers 230 crunchy sounds made with a variety of vegetables, fresh bread, pizza crust and a selection of frozen goods. The Borax Experiment gets you 158 squishy, gory, slimy and gooey sounds.
