The library contains two different sets of recordings: stereo and/or Ambisonics 3rd Order.
This will cover any needs. If you need mono, you will just need to get only track 1 of the Ambisonics files. If you need different formats, you just need to convert them from the Ambisonics files, which contain all the 360º spherical information. There are plenty of tools out there to use.
Different sets of microphones and recorders have been used to create this library, according to what was best to get the recordings.
Recorders:
Sound Devices 788T
Zoom F8
Zoom F6
Brahma-in-Zoom
Microphones:
Reynolds custom 4Type
Sennheiser MKH 8060

The “Seismic Activities” sound archive contains over 2500 different noises from vibrations, shocks and their resonances. We have taken the trouble to use a set-up of different natural sounds, such as frequency drops, thunder or the sound of deep rumbling, to control two structure-borne sound transducers.
The “Seismic Activities” sound archive contains over 2500 different noises from vibrations, shocks, and their resonances.
We have taken the trouble to use a set-up of different natural sounds, such as frequency drops, thunder, or the sound of deep rumbling, to control two structure-borne sound transducers. We have installed these converters in various locations. For example, we were at a company that produces large roller doors. There we shook all sorts of pipes, high racks, tool cabinets, gates, and the like.
In addition, we worked with many household items to create a variety of sound structures, which should make the use of “seismic activities” particularly diverse.
Almost all of the sounds were generated from a multi-channel set-up made up of Sennheiser MKH80 (ORTF), DPA 4060 (AB) and a Sony DR100. So you can expect the best sound quality. As always, a Sounddevices 744T and a Mixpre were used as recording devices.
As always, all files come with burned in metadata in open standards like iXml, BWAV, ID3 Chunk.

This third volume (called “Level 3 – Organic Transients”) is a five instruments collection library with a lot of percussion sounds and several sound manipulation possibilities. The name “Organic transients” refers to the fact that all of the sounds are created with exhausted drumheads recorded with several sticks and mallets making a huge palette of kicks, snares and creative hits with an organic feel yet very “electronic”. The wide range of sonic manipulation controls allow for great flexibility and sound design freedom. With the 3 samples Round Robin switch it’s possible to give more lively feeling to a static track and with the momentary switches for the every effect you can turn on and off specific effects temporarily while performing and/or recording.
“Bizzarro” is a unique instrument. It features two separate sound engines that can be blended together to create Your unique sounds. The two engines are called “Transient” and “Partials”. The first one is a collection of pluck sounds you can shape with fundamental controls and a dedicated multimode filter. The second engine is called “Partials” and it gives You a huge variety of sonic shaping options. It has five level controls for “partials”, like you would have in additive synthesis, but instead of being simple sine waveforms each partial is a complex and rich sound, tuned following the harmonic series. It also has a dedicated multimode filter. Both filters have their own envelope generator with dedicated controls. The Partials engine also has a dedicated Vibrato effect.

The “Distant City And Morning Parks” Library has been recorded for more than a year, in about 7 different cities and 3 countries. The library is divided into 2 subsections:
1) Distant Cities: The subject of this section is large and small towns in different seasons. Respectively can be heard both classic distant city rumble sounds, as well as light burds activity, distant sirens, train, and car horns, distant traffic, church bells e.t.c.
2) Morning Parks: Mostly recorded early in the morning in spring and summer, when there is light human activity, some footsteps, few dogs, even frogs in the middle of a city park. You can hear birds activity and of course distant traffic. Several fountains, recorded from different distances, have also found their place in this library.
All files are meta-tagged with UCS format in Soundminer.
Enjoy the city from a distance.

EMPTY CITIES DURING LOCKDOWN (restrictions due to Covid-19)
The lockdown was such a restrictive and devastating measure for all the societies we live in. At the same time though, it created a unique opportunity in history from a soundscape point of view.
This sound library frames that moment.
I believe it could have, in first place, an historical and anthropological value.
Attentive listeners will be able to appreciate how a reduced human presence did actually set free sounds that were barely audible, changing the perception of them. If earlier our ears used to meet constant sound streams, compact drones due to omnipresent traffic, now they can perceive a microcosm of sounds, small details, sound objects that bounce in the empty cities, finally free. Voices and murmuring of the few people around are all muffled by the use of face masks.
Sound designers will be able to make full use of this microcosm to paint their backgrounds with lively environments, full of small sounds, buzzes, scattered voices, thuds, bells, and so on, all reverberated in empty open spaces.
With human beings locked up, sounds got unlocked!

Electromagnetic Design contains a wide variety of unique and abstract designed sounds including glitches, electronic movement, ambiences, futuristic elements and more.
Our Audio Craftsmen recorded sounds using electromagnetic coil pickups which capture signals and noises from devices. We used speakers, desktop monitors, computers, keyboard, mouse, room heaters, lights and even from a dehumidifier to generate the effects, all in 24Bit 96kHz allowing for further manipulation!
These recordings were then meticulously edited, designed and meta tagged, providing you with a suite of sounds suitable for Science Fiction, Horror, Abstract and Dramatic Films, Games and Television projects. The included sounds work well for machine, weapon, transition, gunshot, futuristic devices and many other types of sound effects.
Here are the included folders:
Electronic Movements: Transition, whoosh, whip and buzz fly bys to bring your scene to life.
Flowing Currents: The sounds of electricity flowing, great for design sections, animations and game audio effects.
Future Technology: The sounds of spaceships, tractor beam, neural interfaces, signals and alarms.
Glitches: Some seriously glitchy sounds, great for modern trailer design, radios, transmissions and Sci-Fi scenes.
Magnetic Ambiences: The warmth and flow of electricity, channelled into ambiences that fit both in a sound effects and musical context.
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.
