After carefully strapping some very expensive microphones all over an electric scooter bike, I hit record and set out to capture the highest resolution e-bike recordings on the internet! With all microphones on-board the scooter, I am able to bring you a very hard to get perspective of recording. Since I recorded this with so many different microphones, I am also giving you the ability to highlight different sound focuses: there are mics specifically directed toward the tires and ground to capture that raw grip of the tires against the road, a stereo pair following the bike to capture the debris kicked up by the bike, and finally a set of binaural microphones that capture the feeling of being on the bike from the driver’s perspective, all captured at a stunning 192kHz, 24 bit.

Gravity volume 2 is the second installment in the Gravity series and consists of impact and drag effects for 9 different materials. Again we set aim to record realistic sounds, minimally compressed and useful as base for physics simulation or foley.
You’ll find some weird sounds and textures in here suitable for many other uses as well. How about squealing styrofoam drags, a 10 meter PVC pipe, or walnuts suitable for skull and bone simulation!
All sounds have been edited to single takes per file, grouped per material in their own folders. In addition to a basic description in their filenames, each individual file has more elaborate META tags included. This gives you quick access to the sounds you need without losing that creative flow.
For scrapes and drags, we recorded long and medium takes which can be used for the construction of loops.
AN OCTAPHONIC ADVENTURE
OB-E – is our take on the legendary 8-Voice. More than just an emulation, OB-E offers a unique musical experience. Sounding HUGE, it takes the iconic Synthesiser Expander Module based 8-Voice (a.k.a the EVS) into new sonic territory via a raft of enhancements and additions.
The concept of the 8-Voice is actually very simple; based around a single Module containing two VCOs with Pulse and Sawtooth waveforms, two ADS Envelope Generators, one LFO, and a magical Multi-Mode Filter. In isolation each Module is monophonic, but in the 8-Voice, because there are eight Modules triggered by a polyphonic keyboard, you have a superb eight note polyphonic synthesiser. While simple at heart, OB-E is, to our knowledge, the first virtual instrument with complete per-voice control. This unique Octaphonic architecture offers fresh and exciting creative possibilities to music producers, composers and sound designers for the first time in the digital realm.
[NOTE: MAC ONLY]

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.
