Library Review:
“RT Sonics’ libraries are awesome and irreplaceable – not only do they feature ready-to use-designed assets that stand out from the crowd, but also have immaculately recorded construction kits that I keep coming back to! You can tell that these libraries are created by sound designers, for sound designers.” –

Singing Slates is a unique cinematic Kontakt library built from sample recordings of a rare, custom built percussion instrument, perfect for adding an African or Tribal inspired melody into your music.
The handcrafted instrument we used was built from natural Welsh slate, by carefully tuning each piece and cutting it to size. Our Audio Craftsmen experimented with different types of beaters before recording to capture the most natural sound in this one of a kind instrument.
We then meticulously edited, balanced and programmed 13 different patches and integrated them into our Kontakt interface, giving Music Producers and Film Composers an extensive set of rare sounds. We have implemented 3 octaves of tuned slate sounds, which provides a positive, uplifting sound and can be used as a replacement for a Kalimba. This exotic instrument is perfect for creating cinematic scores, percussion loops and music of different genres.
As always with our Kontakt releases, our in-house composers designed 12 additional patches including kick drums, snares, kalimba, riser, creepy alarms, monster laughter and much more to add extra tonal and atonal elements to your music.
Our user-friendly Kontakt interface provides a variety of controls that encourage experimentation with the patches. The built in Arpeggiator and Step Sequencer are great for generating hundreds of percussion/lead variations on the fly. We also dedicated ADSR controls to shape your sounds while the main view provides various effects and controls to design unique sounds.

Recorded with contact mics and guitar pickups at 192kHz, the raw sounds provide uniquely organic building blocks for processing and manipulation. The acoustic isolation and high resolution of each file makes these sounds incredibly flexible for editing and ripe for imaginative sound design. The collection’s designed sounds have been expertly sculpted, pitched, and processed at 96kHz using parts of the raw files. Use these as inspiration for your own design potential, or drop straight into your projects to instantly add expressive tension, harmonic activity, and compelling dimension.
As the first exclusive Sonomar Collection release from Pro Sound Effects, Bass Machine demonstrates the sonic curiosity of sound designer and recordist Martin Pinsonnault (Big Little Lies, Dallas Buyers Club) and the Sonomar team. Together they created the contraption, recorded and performed sounds over many hours of experimentation with the instrument, and then meticulously trimmed, designed, and organized the results for a truly generous and limitless sound library.

Sustain creativity with characteristic descriptions of each recording encompassing both literal sonic qualities as well as the images they invoke.

With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.
A Sound Effect is an excellent resource for us to keep our animated films sounding unique and exciting.

A Sound Effect is a great asset to have discovered.
We found the site very easy to navigate, purchasing and downloads were effortless and the effects themselves are awesome! Asbjoern has done us all a great service.
We’ll definitely be back!
There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!

We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!

A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!

I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!

A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.
