Metadata
This sound library is UCS compliant and comes with fully embedded metadatas compatible with Soundly, Soundminer and Basehead.
This library is recorded in a small furniture workshop where office furniture is sawn and created. We recorded the sounds of the factory so that they can be easily combined together to create a workshop of any scale.
Microphones were placed at varying distances from the recording subjects. Many recordings were created using a LOM Geofon contact microphone.
“Rain & Thunder Residential Balcony” (RTRB in short) includes 21 stereo files (WAV, 96 kHz, 24 bit) of total length: 1h 48m 58s. All files were carefully edited and discribed with UCS metadata.
Recorded with Zoom H6 with internal mid-side capsule during few stormy days of June 2020 in the beginning of covid pandemic (hence there’s almost no traffic background!).
The idea was to place the mic on the balcony in the residential, suburban area of Warsaw, Poland, in the best, exact same spot each time, so the recordings can be edited seamlessly together. Library contains rain in every phase from begining, through light, medium and heavy to the ending and afterwards. That gives the editor the opportunity to navigate with rain intensity throughout the scene and even create the storm from pieces.
Different storm stages can work really well also for the computer game implementation.
There are lots of distant thunder rumbles but also few really close, sharp and scary thunder strikes.
RTRB is 21 stereo files, 96/24. 3,5 GB big, all UCS ready!
This library mostly consists of isolated mammal, bird, amphibian & insect sounds from Europe recorded close up in nature or at rewilding shelters.
While all animals have been recorded in Germany, many inhabitat places all around the world, from Asia to Africa and America.
I already released three libraries with Eurasian animals and they are also available as a bundle with this library.
This library adds isolated recordings of animals that have not been very present in my other libraries of living creatures. I did record some big bugs (stag beetle, violet carpenter bee, maybug…), some bad-tempered european wildcats and rare birds (bald ibis, eagle owl, little owl…). Also I included lots of frog and toad recordings with species that are seldom heard nowadays as well as more common species. There is a couple of juvenile animals (nutria, mute swan, house sparrow,…) in here too.
It is a perfect library not only for nature documentaries or other realistic sound design, but as everything was captured in high sample rates up to 192kHz, it can be used as unique source sounds for dinosaurs, aliens, monsters, zombies, fictional animals and creatures or even for weird machines.
Some animals can not be fully represented by single sounds, so I added some nature ambiences, like a rich frog chrous or a busy flock of starlings.
List of animals:

We wanted to redesign some of our Coil Pickup recordings so we fired them into our in house Kontakt instrument and started to redesign them.
We got in to creating some Arc/Tesla/Plasma type sounds, from one shot Electricity Zaps, Crackles, Statics, Hums and Buzzes to a variety of looped buzzes and tonal elements.

Welcome to Mutant Insects – Flying! This library gathers a wide range of oversized designed flying insects along with an extremely rich source recordings toolbox. If you need flying insects or just wing sounds in general, than this is the library to get! This collection allows you to quickly and easily create every flying creature and mutant you might have in mind, but also is very helpful to sweeten or emphasize details with natural layers for real life documentaries, games or feature films. These insect sounds are more impressive than the sounds of real life insects so we called them “MUTANT insects”.

Created by Red Libraries by Frederic Devanlay (Solar Sky, Future Weapons) and Thibault Csukonyi (Robotic Lifeforms 2, Sinematic 2)
“This library is a dream come true for anyone designing or cutting insect wings. The variety of sounds to play with is amazing, and I find myself going back to this library again and again anytime I have to play in the ‘insect’ world. Wonderful sounds indeed!”

Cover your ears. It’s going to get loud, introducing, Oval Track Racing. This high-octane stock car racing library features cars of various makes, models and performance characteristics in nine divisions circling a quarter mile (.40 kilometer) oval ‘short’ track in Idaho. Pass-bys, overalls and on boards were captured from multiple perspectives inside, outside, and alongside the asphalt track with a variety of microphones and recorders.
Oval Track Racing features plenty of pass-bys captured right next to concrete retaining walls on straightaways and through turns. To give you options, these pass bys are broken out two ways. Use the ‘one shot’ sound files consisting of just one quick pass by (thank you Paul V. for this suggestion). Or choose to use the overall race/practice session consisting of multiple laps.
This meticulously crafted library also features a selection of overalls captured from high in the stands, inside the pits, from the center of the infield and outside the gates. For instance, I was able to capture 48 laps (11 minutes worth) of an 85-lap race featuring eight rumbling Big 5 Late Model cars, recorded clean and free of public address announcements, 250 feet (76 meters) outside the ‘bullring.’ The crowd cheers for the winner at the end. Onboard recordings feature the growling sounds of a Street Stock car (1975 Chevrolet Nova), both in the pits and on the track.
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.
