The Animal Symphony – Goat & Sheep Vol 2 offers a collection of 53 high-quality audio tracks, each with multiple variations carefully captured to ensure exceptional quality. The recordings are organized with consistent nomenclature, making it easy to swap or combine different microphone takes depending on the needs of the project.
For this occasion, a Sennheiser MKH 8050 and a Sanken CO-100K microphone were used, along with a Zoom H6 recorder to capture the stereo sound. In this second volume, we have gotten even closer to the animals than in the first volume, managing to capture a greater amount of ultrasonic information. This is especially useful if you want to tone down sounds to create fantastic creatures or other sound effects, providing an exceptional richness of frequencies.
The recordings were made at 24-bit and 192 kHz/96 kHz, ensuring professional clarity and depth in each track.
This collection includes a wide variety of bleats, from adult goats, mountain goats, kids and sheep, to group bleats, ideal for adding realism and authenticity to any production, be it documentary, film, video games or creative projects.
In addition, all recordings have been carefully edited to remove any external noise, such as birds, wind or people, ensuring a clean and professional experience. Thanks to ultrasonic microphones, any tonal modification will maintain a unique frequency richness, perfect for creating custom sounds.
Ideal applications:
– Video games: Add realism and depth to the natural environments of your games.
– Cinema and Documentaries: Enrichment of the audiovisual product with authentic sounds.
– Educational Applications: Use these sounds in educational projects to teach about wildlife and animal behavior.
– Multimedia Projects: Ideal for any project that seeks to enrich the user’s listening experience.

This is a unique bicycle library that captures four characteristic bikes in clean, quiet, nicely performed true exterior rides. Including multiple perspectives, speeds and actions. From fast passbys on asphalt to slow onboard recordings, smooth or skidding stops. This package contains everything you need to create convincing sound design for a City Bicycle.
Contents:
Four bikes with distinct characteristics: 1. Good bike: a smooth sounding retro bike that doesn’t rattle or squeak, really nice tire noise. 2. Bad bike: an old worn bike with severe rattles and cranking, tends to let the chain fly off. 3. Ugly bike: this bike gets you from A to B… but it won’t win awards for it’s looks. 4. Racer bike: a vintage racer that’s pre-owned but still super slick.
Five perspectives: 1. Onboard Front: captures the whirring tire and surface sound. 2. Onboard Pedal: nice overall combination of pedaling, crank creaks, chain rattle, tire and surface sounds. 3. Onboard Rear: close up sound of the rear axle, with chain, sprocket and switching of gear. 4. Tracking shot: mono recording of the passby, keeping the bike in focus while passing by. 5. Static XY shot: stereo recording of the passby that emphasizes speed.
Five perspectives:
Overview of perspectives and mic placement
*Onboard recordings are 2-3 minutes long depending on speed. Higher speeds > shorter duration. All 3 onboard mics are edited in sync with one another to make layering easy. All Passbys, Arrivals and Departures move from Left to Right.
Speeds and actions:
Three speeds for every bike and every surface (see below). Departures from slow, medium to fast getaways. Arrivals from slow stops with gently squeaking handbrakes to heavy stuttering skids.
City Bicycles – Perspectives Demo
Five surfaces:
We’ve recorded all Bikes on asphalt from all perspectives (onboard and roadside). Additionally, our most quiet bicycle (the Good Bike) was used to record 4 other surfaces from onboard perspectives.
Five Surfaces: 1. Asphalt: nice and clean, with smooth singing sound.** 2. Large Bricks: nicely textured surface that makes the tires purr like a cat.** 3. Gravel: a fresh crackling surface sound that you might find in a city park. 4. Grit: classic bicycle path surface sounds that layers perfectly with the other surfaces.** 5. Icy road: frozen asphalt with sparkling textures of ice crystals snapping under the wheels.
**these surfaces are also recorded from Roadside Perspectives (passby: static and tracking)

Once you’ve selected the bike you can open up OpenTier and audition and select the perspective you want to use. Scene &Â Performer
This field contains the type of bicycle to quickly navgiate to the bike you like. iXMLTrackLayout This is a neat little identifier you will find in the Waveform displays and you can see in a glance what Listening position you are. MicPerspective
We have another way to find perspectives but it is more limited to distance to the recorded subject.
So passbys are MED – EXT and handling are CU – EXT. Exterior? Of course: we recorded everything outside! UserComments
We used this field to create the UserData and give you the minimal set of information about the recording in the filename.
Additionally, we added Markers making specific sonic events are easy to spot in Soundminer and other apps.

Check out the Hyundai Tucson Diesel Automatic 2019 Model. I took advantage of my old family car, which provided me the opportunity to capture some genuinely cool and authentic sounds. In order to get the best quality audio for the ‘non-moving’ shots, we chose a quiet car park at night, ensuring the environment was serene and devoid of any intrusive noise. For the driving shots, we devised a custom mic stand/rig tailored specifically to keep the microphone steady, guaranteeing the sound remained as sharp and crisp as possible. With our 28 years of extensive experience in post-production, you can absolutely count on us to meticulously transform your film’s audio from AAF to the final WAV format, ensuring it is imbued with remarkable detail and unparalleled quality.

I literally explored every nook and cranny of this beautiful spot to capture a wide range of sounds.

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 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.
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!
David Farmer

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.
