Shipscape is a sonic exploration of a World War II Victory Ship, an ammunition freighter that later saw use as a commercial freighter and was ultimately restored to serve as a floating museum and event space. It’s perfect for building space station, starship, industrial, naval, submarine, and factory environments.
The SS Red Oak Victory, built in 1944 in, and now returned to, Richmond, California, is a vast steel space with great room tones and objects. Its blast-proof bulkheads and double hull transmit and reflect sound in wild ways. No one has ever recorded in this location until now.
While there are some prop and object recordings, this library’s core focus is long ambience recordings (5 – 13 minutes in length). This UCS-compliant library was recorded with a combination of a Sennheiser and Schoeps microphones, and contains both stereo and quad recordings.
Nearly an hour and a half of recordings cover its four-story engine room, long and narrow shaft alley, massive cargo holds, and bridge. Some recordings are subtle room tones, while others feature distant, ominous booms and clanks transmitted through its cargo bays, hull, and bulkheads.
Explore this fascinating environment with Shipscape, a library released in celebration of the SS Red Oak Victory’s 80th birthday.
Beautiful Bells Vol 2 contains the solo sound of 135 different stationary bells, captured in 39 bell towers, chapels, carillons, churches, cathedrals and clock towers across France, with unprecedented quality. Most of the sounds were recorded inside bell towers.
Stationary bells are struck by external hammers. They have a steady and rich tone, with a long sustain. They are mostly used as musical instruments in carillons, to indicate the hour in clock chimes or to alert the population in tocsins.
Every bell size and pitch is represented in this library, from huge 8 ton bourdon to tiny carillon bells weighing a few kilograms. You will find bells founded from 14th to 21st century with a great variety of timbres and tunings, over a range of 5 octaves (from G2 to G7).
The library contains 2 carillons with 54 bells and 10 bells, available as sound files and virtual instruments (NI Kontakt and EXS24 with round robin).
All the sounds in this library were recorded in bell towers or as close as possible to provide great sonic precision and optimal signal-to-noise ratio.

A TRULY SPECIAL PIANO
CHROMA – UPRIGHT PIANO stands out, not just because of its rich history and impeccable restoration, but because of its unique character and emotional depth that set it apart.
The journey began a few years ago in a small studio, where our team initially focused on recording a grand piano. However, an unassuming upright piano in the same studio captured our attention. Though we were committed to recording the grand, the upright’s distinct sound and emotional resonance left a lasting impression. We just had to record it and share it with the world!
The CHROMA – UPRIGHT PIANO isn’t just another virtual instrument; it’s a culmination of passion, serendipity, and meticulous craftsmanship.
Warm, mid-focused tonal character with rich low-end
Multiple unique articulations including felt, muted, plucked, flageolet, and bowed
Recorded with a diverse array of microphones for a comprehensive sound
Unique core engine that both recreates the piano’s original sonority and also creates new and abstract soundscapes
27 velocity layers for nuanced and dynamic playability
91 presets designed to inspire and enhance creativity

This library offers a collection of recordings from Iceland during the winter season. The landscape is cold and blanketed in snow. You can hear the biting icy wind, the pervasive chill, and, occasionally, the calls of a few birds and a solitary raven. These recordings capture the serene, remote and stark beauty of Icelandic winter ambiances.
All recordings are clear and entirely devoid of external noise and human disruptions. This is why this library is particularly valuable for productions set in the past, such as medieval and ancient times as well as for historical and nature documentaries.
All these nature ambiences are recorded using two microphone setups: a Double MS Stereo setup and a spaced omnis setup, the latter also providing extended frequency response. This results in four variations for each recording: Stereo, Wide Stereo, Wide AB Stereo, and 5-channel 5.0 surround. The variances between these options range from subtle to more pronounced, offering flexibility for crosscutting within scenes.

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.
