Soundly is an incredible tool for sound effects – and to discover some of the things it’s capable of, check out this great video review by BennoStudios:
8 great new SFX libraries have been added to the site in the past week – here’s an overview:
In this sound pack I’ve included an in-depth selection of active ambiences. This library is focused more on the natural ambience of both busy main streets and calmer side streets.
Most sounds were captured below 110 St. and prominently in the Lower East and West Village. There are a multitude of police and firetruck sirens at varying distances as well as some not so common areas like the Intrepid Pier and the Hudson River Heliport ambience.
I’ve also included some extensive subway rides. All boring bits were edited out for a strong final product. There are multiple train rides with various levels of walla and PA announcements.
One thing that is very common in NYC during the summer months are the rain and thunderstorms. I’ve included a number of wet traffic, distant thunderstorms and heavy rains.
All in all this is a good representation of New York’s streets and subway systems.
A number of excellent new sound effects libraries have just been added – get the overview (and hear what they sound like) here:
How did Pole Position Production end up creating one of the world’s absolute top vehicle sound collections? Get the story behind the Swedish success here:
Want weapon sounds that stand out? With Steampunk Weapons, we mixed the old with the new to make this uniquely diversified collection of weapons. Combining modern recording techniques with metal, rusted objects, and synthesis, if you need some more weapons that break the mold of traditional weapons, this is the collection for you!
To the uninitiated, the world of sound design is shrouded in mystery – but here’s why that’s about to change dramatically (just updated with surprising new 2016 info!):
SPACES delivers high definition ambience recordings and designed backgrounds, and is the perfect addition for your workflow or mood-inducing production. Utilizing only the best microphones, design processes, and tones, SPACES is a well-rounded collection of atmospheric quality.
