Sound Effects

  • Get the sounds of switches, buttons, knobs and handles – recorded inside an old, retired flight simulator donated to the Danish Technical Museum.

    This machine used to make aspiring pilots sweat in their seats, putting them through all sorts of mechanical failures, emergency landings, and just plain flying.

    There is basically a switch, button, knob or handle to start every single possible emergency situation a pilot and crew may encounter when flying.

    When the sound recording started, some of them were partly broken, and others missing, some did not turn or switch, but most of them were still there and worked beautifully. The variety is surprisingly great, and very different from today's modern switch sounds.

    91 tracks, recorded with a Sennheiser 416 onto a Sounddevices 702, all tracks Metadata tagged.

  • A larger focus on wind – with trees, brush, crickets, and other sounds often included. There are also plain wind sounds recorded on exceptionally quiet wilderness winter nights that can be layered over most every project for several minutes or longer. Additionally includes some branches breaking in high winds and rain patter.

  • • In Pacific Northwest: Roosevelt Elk, get a mini-nature collection of ambiences from the Hoh Rainforest, a temperate rainforest on the Olympic Peninsula in Olympic National Park. Hear Roosevelt Elk clack antlers and bugle as they fight for the chance to mate. Hear Pacific Wrens joyous chirps as they dance on rotten logs. Hear the massive sparseness of forests filled with 200-300 foot douglas fir and spruce. Hear haunting reverberations as ravens caw in groves of titans and the Hoh River’s soothing wash, the perfect sound to lull you off to peaceful dreams.
    • This library offers you a small collection of both quiet and active nature sounds from one of the wettest forests in North America. Some places on the Olympic Peninsula get over 200 inches of precipitation per year, and that abundance of moisture makes for a magical fern and moss filled ecosystem brimming with soothing ambiences.

  • – “TRUE-TO-LIFE RAIN SOUNDS FROM THE TROPICAL CITY-STATE OF SINGAPORE”

    The distinct sound of tropical rain against Singapore’s skyscapes and streets

    As part of our Ambient Sound Series focusing on the specific, distinct Soundscape of Singapore, we went on a journey to capture high definition sounds of the city-state.

    Scaling high above the city’s skyscapes all the way down to Singapore’s busy streets, we captured the sound of rain unique to the city-state, all in this extensive library.

    For sound designers and editors looking for the sound of rain unique to this small, vibrant city

    Singapore Ambiences – Rain is a collection of high definition sounds of the unique rain ambience of various locations in the country. From light drizzles to heavy apocalyptic tropical thunderstorms with rolling rumbles and cracking booms of thunder included. Recorded by a team who have worked on projects for Marvel Studios, Universal Studios, Riot Games and the Discovery Channel, these recordings are clean, accurate and of high quality.

    Like all IX Sound Libraries, this collection is meticulously edited and embedded with detailed descriptive metadata utilising the Universal Category System (UCS).

    This collection is compatible with Soundminer, Pro Tools, Basehead, AudioFinder and other popular sound effects library search engines.

    The files will be delivered in Stereo/Mono Wav format at 24bit, 48kHz.

  • Psychedelic Cicadas Vol. 2 is the second in our series of cicada ambiences produced in collaboration with César Rodriguez Pulido and Guile Martins.

    A huge variety of cicada species were recorded in Cerrado, Brazil for this series. The creatures’ unique pitches, tones and rhythms combine to form strange, beautiful choruses ideal for affective soundscapes, atmosphere design and abstract creations. These recordings are further enriched with the sounds of Cerrado denizens; birds, oxen, dogs, crickets, frogs and insects were captured during thunder and rain storms, in the forest and by a river.

    Recording by César Rodriguez Pulido and Guile Martins.

    Our Audio Craftsmen have carefully edited each sound for maximum sonic clarity so that you can drop each sound directly into your project timeline and get down to work with minimal fuss.

    All sounds are delivered in 24Bit 48kHz format allowing further sonic manipulation and have been meticulously edited and tagged with extensive UCS compliant metadata for ease of use.

  • Mind States Vol. 3 is the third instalment of one of our most popular experimental sound effects libraries. Our Audio Craftsmen designed and manipulated a variety of sine waves to produce a truly cerebral, immersive experience of sounds.

    Unlike our previous two Mind States libraries, this collection focuses on the transition between mind states, such as drifting between alpha and beta brainwaves or delving deeper into meditative thought. Perfect for superhero films, sci-fi projects, mind- reading characters, meta-narratives and more!

    This product comprises a multitude of binaural sounds denoting brain activity, metaphorical mind movement, gradual increases and decreases in pitch, speed-ups and slow-downs, chordal and harmonic brainwaves and varying ambiences full of buzzes, wails and drones.

    Sounds have been separated into the following categories:

    Ambiences – Experimental ambiences designed to add a 6th sense to your scenes.

    Brainwave Fluctuations – Longer sequences of movement perfect for that drifting-in-between effect.

    Decreasing Brainwaves – Designed brainwave movement decreasing in pitch.

    Increasing Brainwaves – Designed brainwave movement increasing in pitch.

    Oneshots – Shorter sequences ideal for quicker movement and transitions.

    Pads – Gentler designed sounds made for longer transitions and scenes, or for atmospheric purposes e.g. inside a character’s mind.

    All sounds were recorded in 24Bit 96kHz, and have been tagged with extensive UCS metadata for ease of use.

  • Interior Vibrations Vol. 3 is the third volume in our Interior Vibrations collection.

    This collection was captured by our Audio Craftsmen with a stereo pair of contact microphones, used experimentally to generate a range of unique textural sounds. It features drilling, scraping and a diversity of movement performed on various metals and a guitar.

    These raw recordings are made for further design and are great for adding an abstract edge to your projects. Or try including them in horror and sci-fi projects for some unsettling sonic texture.

    All sounds are delivered in 24Bit 192kHz format allowing further sonic manipulation, and have been meticulously edited and tagged with extensive UCS compliant metadata for ease of use.

  • A massive 496 Audio Files of detailed and balanced recordings of handwriting performances. Scribbles, erasing, check marks, blackouts, colouring, circles and crosshatches for each writing tool are in this complete Foley library.

    You get mechanical pen and pencil clicks, cap pop-offs and snap-ons, squeaky pens and thick markers, crayons, ball point pens, felt pens, erasers, highlighters and sharpies.

    Capturing the detail of the subtle sound with zero background noise is an art in itself! For these recordings, we found that the best results were achieved using an LCR configuration. A tightly positioned Rode NTG3 shotgun mic for the centre was used, along with a pair of slightly pulled back Sennheiser MKH 8040s to provide a gentle stereo image. The environment we used was our “dead room”, completely silent and reverb-free for this type of recording (this neat little room approaches a mini anechoic chamber) Reliably transparent and highly recommended, a Sound Devices Mix-Pre-6 was used to capture the final recordings.

  • A killer antique accordion full of paper crinkles, key clacks, sick sounding wheezes and old wood creaks. The antique accordion was rescued from a local antique shop. It has a hole in the bellows that creates a distinct wheezing sound, and it is loaded up with strange squeaks, pops and paper textures.

    We rolled on this instrument for about an hour, and did everything from flicking the keys to dropping and pounding it. The accordion took some abuse, but in the end what it gave back was a wealth of old sounding textures you can’t fake.

    This instrument was recorded at 24 bit 96k, in dual mono – with an AT4050 for a wide perspective and a Schoeps CMC6.MK4 for a close perspective. Comes with 57 .wav files and 19 Kontakt .nki files (the .nki files require the full retail version of NI Kontakt 4.2.3 or later)

    Note: Can be used without Kontakt too!
    All Kontakt instrument libraries include fully unlocked and accessible metadata tagged .wav files. You don't need any version of Kontakt to use these files as a standalone sample library.
