Magical spells, user interfaces and interesting film details are the main areas we thought about when making this library. The majority of the recordings are edited in a way that makes it easy to find variations, loop them or pitch them up or down.
All sounds are tagged with extensive UCS Metadata for ease of use. We hope you’ll have a ton of fun using these sounds.
The Steppenwolf Kontakt virtual instrument strives to deliver a persistent combination of simplicity and quality to those looking to expand their palette of virtual footstep options, or to place an affordable alternative in the hands of those already possessing the full version of Kontakt 6 (& up). This virtual instrument, despite its apparent simplicity, is no compromise when it comes to delivering audio quality. Every footstep was recorded in a quiet, professional foley stage with a high ceiling and zero reverberation. A Neumann TLM 103 was used for the close microphone, and a Schoeps CMIT 5U was used for the far microphone. The near & far microphones each have their own knob to control volume on the plugin’s GUI, so that the near or far microphones can be blended together to achieve the desired texture/distance. The preamplifier used was a NEVE 5211 with zero compression and a flat EQ graph for maximum flexibility. There are five instances of the instrument, where each instance is a surface (dirt, grass, wood, gravel, concrete). Each instance/surface contains one shoe per octave for seven shoes per instrument (multiple boots, sneakers, and a pair of woman’s heels). The same shoes are used in the same order across all surfaces! Each key within a given octave contains 8 round robins forming a perfect loop, so the user need only tap one key infinitely to have a complete walk cycle, or mix & match between the 11 other walk cycles within the octave!
For people working in game audio, the samples can also be reused as oneshots within WWISE or FMOD! They are already rigorously edited, so just drag and drop!
Sometimes I get a bit carried away recording things – like these 384 sounds of metal lids twisted onto glass jars at varying speeds and pressure.
Clicking, scraping and rubbing sounds of metal on glass – excellent design source material and unusual rhythmic sounds.
Audio time : Single files – 12 minutes 32 seconds / Grouped files 16 minutes 42 seconds = 29 minutes approx total audio time

There’s a lot of material here – recorded and organized with a sound editor’s sensibility.
The recordings started out by chance – I’d end up in protest situations, and happened to have a recorder with me. This year I was a little more proactive, especially for the rally in Washington Square Park after the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade.
Also in this collection: A Downtown Brooklyn BLM march, A 2019 Foley Square rally in response to border camps/family separation, A UFT protest at City Hall, and a couple different mics on the jubilant reaction to Biden’s presidential win on the corner of Atlantic and Court in Brooklyn. There’s not much underpinning music or other legally difficult material, but there is some. I’ve chosen to leave it in, for the most part, as this is also a historical record.
Quite a few takes are very long, and encompass changing circumstances. I’ve opted to use WAV markers, which I’m also providing as “Notes” metadata – making phrases, cheers, and other things I’ve noted searchable and findable!
Everything is UCS complaint.
*Most material was recorded on a Sony PCM-100, and originated 96k/24bit; Some material was recorded with the Sennheiser Ambeo Headset, and was upsampled to 96k/24bit from 48k/24bit
These sounds were recorded in 2018, throughout the Swiss cities of Geneva, Zurich, Basel, & Bern.
This sound library features incredible sound of a rotary engine screaming at 9000 rpms. Car in mostly stock form, without catalytic converter was recorded onboard with set of microphones under the hood (intake and engine perspective), on the back of the car (two exhaust perspectives) and inside the car (mic in the trunk + stereo setup on the front seats in sync with engine / exhaust). Various styles of driving were covered, from regular driving through high speed spirited driving, aggressive accelerations up to RPM ramps and slow and steady increase for looping in game audio. Engine start, idle, stepping on the gas repeatedly is also included. Last but not least, exterior passes were recorded in mono and stereo, slow by sounds, fast ones, stopping, and differenty parking maneuvers.

This sound library features more than 300 minutes of audio recorded during wind storms in Gdynia. This was experimental session, with 7 microphones placed in different places, such as plant pots, watering can, bucket, behind wicker chairs, on the wall and ground. Everything was recorded during 4 different weather states. Each state has 7 mono perspectives + 2 stereo mixes (one outside, and one from the inside of containers). You can hear it in the preview or read in metadata list. Each file was named with UCS in mind.
Microphones used: LOM mics, DPA 4061 / 4062, Rode NTG3

Welcome to Mutant Insects – Flying! This library gathers a wide range of oversized designed flying insects along with an extremely rich source recordings toolbox. If you need flying insects or just wing sounds in general, than this is the library to get! This collection allows you to quickly and easily create every flying creature and mutant you might have in mind, but also is very helpful to sweeten or emphasize details with natural layers for real life documentaries, games or feature films. These insect sounds are more impressive than the sounds of real life insects so we called them “MUTANT insects”. This collection is used in several Hollywood productions such as by Tim Nielsen (Senior Sound Designer) on the Dark Crystal series. Created by Red Libraries by Frederic Devanlay (Solar Sky, Future Weapons) and Thibault Csukonyi (Robotic Lifeforms 2, Sinematic 2)
“This library is a dream come true for anyone designing or cutting insect wings. The variety of sounds to play with is amazing, and I find myself going back to this library again and again anytime I have to play in the ‘insect’ world. Wonderful sounds indeed!”
– Tim Nielsen (Star Wars, Toy Story 3, Dark Crystal – Senior Sound Designer)

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.
