I’ve got a thing for recording Trains and hanging out by Railroad Tracks so I decided why not do another mini Train Library. Much like with my first Train library, Train Life, Freights were the main focus. Included are a variety of Exterior Slow, Medium, and Fast Trains, some solo Locomotive Bys, Idling, Squealing, along with Train Horns from different perspectives. Mic perspectives varied from up Close and Medium, and then some distant with the Horns. Locations were in the High Desert of California and a couple of Train Stations that get a lot of Freights passing through.

City Life: Los Angeles is a collection of Sounds recorded in downtown Los Angeles, Long Beach, and some of the surrounding areas around LA. The focus was Ambiences, Vehicles, Horns, Sirens, and more of the grittier / vibey sounds that can really add to a Soundscape when working with Backgrounds in Film Projects. This library consists mostly of Exterior locations and with Vehicles and sounds without People , but there’s some Interior / Exterior Public Places mixed in with Walla and more Movement.
The idea for this library started a couple years ago. I thought it’d be cool to take the recording gear and really explore the Downtown LA area. There’s quite a lot going on from a sound perspective, whether you’re on a busy Street in the Historic Core with Cars and Motorcyles revving away, or hanging out above the City on Bunker Hill, on a Parking Garage Rooftop with the constant City Fill, or roaming the streets of Chinatown. The idea was to try to capture some of the sounds in spaces that are particular to not only LA, but also a lot of busier Cities.
25 miles South of LA is Long Beach. It’s a smaller Big City, but one that has a lot of character sonically. For those recordings I mostly recorded in a neighborhood on a rooftop just outside of Downtown. With these you get more of a distant perspective. A few of the other recordings took place in some of the surrounding Cities.
Vehicles (These are Singular Individual Sound Files)
Bus (9 Files) – Close, Bys, Away, Brake Squeaks
Cars (19 Files) – Close, Medium, Distant, Bys, Revs (Think less generic and more Engines with a lot of character)
Freight (8 Files) – Close, Rattle Bys, Garbage Trucks
Motorcycles (10 Files) – Close, Distant, Revs, Bys, Aways
Truck (6 Files) – Low Bys, Aways
Sirens (9 Files) – Close Medium, Wailers, some Fast Doppler Bys
Horns (16 Files) – Close Medium
Ambiences
Birds (2 Files) – Seagulls, Crows
Construction (5 Files) – Larger Busy Worksites
Public Places / Walla (9 Files) – Mostly Interior, Chinese Cafe, Library, Park, Street Vendors
Traffic / Transportation / Urban (15 Files) – Parking Garage, City Fill, Traffic Bys, Under Bridge, Industrial
Miscellaneous
Helicopter (5 Files) – Circling and Bys
Recording perspectives varied throughout this library. Sometimes I had a full rig set up and other times I opted for the more stealth route with hidden mics attached to a backpack.

An entire hour of fireworks recordings from various urban locations. These recordings were captured using the Sony PCM-D100 and Zoom H3-VR, offering two distinct audio perspectives. The directionality of the recorded content can be modified using ambisonic signals.

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.
