    Part of the cheats 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 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:

    Probably the most extreme sounding Jaguar you could buy as of 2025, and since the future of company is electric – probably most extreme exhaust sound on any Jaguar ever.

    This SVR version has a supercharged 5-litre V8 engine with 567bhp.

    Exhaust is titanium, vs stainless steel on F Type R version, meaning a different and more agressive/much louder sound.

    The library consists of vehicle track day recordings with 2 exhaust mic configurations (different runs different rigs) – Shure SM58 dynamic mic and DPA 4062 rig and engine mic array capturing various engine sound perspectives.

    External recordings were made with Sennheiser 8060 shotgun mic.

    Library consists of startups, revs, onboards and variety of passbys.

  • This premium collection of sound effects was recorded over 3 years in the foothills and lowlands around the Southern Carpathian Mountains in Romania. This is the sound of the eastern and southeastern European countryside – meadows and hedgerows thrumming with the sound of insects and birds.

    Recorded in a spatially-open, exciting and realistic-sounding quad-surround NOS-based format*, these are ultra-low-noise recordings of cinematic quality. They are fully ‘rotatable’ for next-level sound editing options or alternative perspectives. Also available in stereo version.
