Motorcycle Sound Effects KTM 250 Enduro Motorbike Play Track 93+ sounds included, 31 mins total $42

KTM 250 Enduro Motorbike contains extensive exterior recordings of a 2 stroke 250cc motorcycle captured on a private dirt track in Yorkshire, England. With an amazing collection of driving away and towards, pass bys, extensive foley, extreme revving and stunt sounds in different perspectives, this library gives you that full throttle, pedal to the metal sound that you only get from an experienced rider on their own vehicle. Perfect for use in any project with dirt bikes or motorcycles, or for vehicle sound design.

Our Audio Craftsmen carefully planned and executed a recording session, capturing the essence of the motorbike with both a mono supercardiod mic and a stereo perspective mic for ultimate flexibility (these are provided as separate files). The resulting sound is full frequency, rich and textural, giving the impression of you being right there with the rider. All sounds are provided in 96kHz 24Bit and are perfect for complex vehicle design, being captured in the natural environment of the dirt track. As well as close up sounds, we also recorded some distant drive aways and approaches.

The library also includes sounds of a rider getting on the bike, putting on his helmet, moving the kickstand, pulling the vehicle, starting the engine, turning off the engine etc. and riding away. We made recordings with the rider following our instructions but also let him freestyle ride on some recordings to allow for the most natural and immersive sound effects.
All of the sounds were captured using a RODE NTG3 and a Sony PCM D-100, before being carefully edited and ready to be used straight away in your projects. They can be also be used to represent many different types of racing vehicle due to the nature of the engine being pushed to the limit during recording.

Drones & Mood Sound Effects Feedback Loops Play Track 50 sounds included $27

Feedback Loops brings you a versatile pack full of different loops. In this pack you will find a plethora of analogue and digital sounds. By routing the output to the input of an analogue synth, our Audio Craftsmen were able to design a huge range of volatile feedback loops that continuously evolve over time. Digital synths were also used to create more complex sounds. They can be used for scenes involving live equipment and electricity. Their unique character allows for more complex sound design.

Our Audio Craftsmen have developed 3 different categories to be used individually, or as a basis for further sonic manipulation.

Sounds have been separated into the following categories:

Analogue: These feedback loops were created using an analogue synth to create more natural sounds.

Digital: These loops sound more harsh in comparison to the analogue sounds, and therefore are more complex

Simple: These loops don’t have any recorded manipulation so they can be used a low hums.

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

Foley Sound Effects Piano [de]Construction & Destruction Play Track 136+ sounds included $60

KLAP Sound took a piano and tortured it, dismembered it and finally destroyed it—and recorded the whole process. For the making of this library, they used several tools such as hammers, screwdrivers, knives, and saws, as well as props like dirt, send, gravel, forks and other sharp objects. The results are raw sounds of foley with musical rings, harmonic tails and creepy vibes that are dry yet barely edited for your own enjoyment.

Drones & Mood Sound Effects Motion Textures Play Track 184 sounds included $48

Motion Texures is a broad library with a narrow purpose: to draw sonic lines and create gently moving sonic textures.

The concept is that consistent sound of friction will translate well to visual design elements that have CG and text movement on screen.

We recorded the friction sounds of dozens of small to medium sized props in constant motion. Major categories include metal, plastic, cloth, wood and skin. Some of the most interesting sounds came from the props that had small cavities such as the spray can lid and the water bottle. The constant changing of the cavity state relative to the mics creates strange vocal sounds.

Once the sounds were recorded we employed a proprietary smoothing process as a second pass to the sounds and provided them in addition to the original textures. These smoothed out sounds still have the organic quality of the original recordings, but with far fewer transient events. The end result are sounds that feel straighter than the more circular sounding original textures.

Inside of the Kontakt instruments we stacked layers and effects to create a broad base of deep and interesting textures. Many of the Kontakt presets mangle the sounds far beyond recognition of the original recordings.

Motion Textures features
• 92 unique original samples
• 92 smoothed samples
• 25 Kontakt unlocked design .nki files
• 22 Kontakt unlocked raw texture .nki files
• .nki files require full version of NI Kontakt 4 or higher

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.

Wayne Pashley

Supervising Sound Editor/Re-recording Mixer, The Lego Movie & Mad Max: Fury Road

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

Sound designer:
Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit trilogies

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!

Charles Deenen

Director, Digital - Source Sound Inc.

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!
