Whether your need to bring a lone rogue to life or a surge of arrows in an epic battle scene, Nocked will provide you with a plethora of flexible content.
Our largest library to date, this collection is a comprehensive focus on the sounds and functions of the archer and the act of archery. Included are eight recorded bows (2 crossbows, olympic recurve, traditional recurve, longbow, long compound, short compound, and Magyar bow) with 2 additional ‘mythic’ bows of our own design, each using 3 types of arrows (aluminum, carbon, and bamboo) on 3 varying surfaces (hard, soft, and dirt) from 4 simultaneous recording positions (at bow, at target, midflight mono, and midflight stereo). Each bow and each arrow type have a character all there own.
The content’s dynamic range is wide, from whispering bamboo arrows gliding on rests as they are drawn to firing position, to the powerful THWACK of crossbow bolts striking their target. All non-firing sounds were recorded in a controlled studio environment while all recordings of the bows being fired were taken on a plot of wide-open rural farmland, encompassed by forests. When needed, this ambient natural environment provided an ideal impulse response to be used in the design and editing of some of the sounds to create a heightened effect.
A multitude of takes are provided across each bow/arrow/surface/position combination for easy randomization and differentiation of sounds, or to track any number of unique archers at any given moment.
Go ahead, let them fight in the shade.
This library includes 106 sfx of exterior, interior and on-board perspectives of pass bys, shifting, and foley of the Chevy Duramax 2500HD Pickup Truck.

Orbital Emitter is proud to present our first 3 in 1 Sound-Set Bundle, The Upper Decks!
This bundle is made up of of three distinct sound-sets focused on environments found within many science fiction stories and media! The Upper Decks Sound-Set Bundle is comprised of The Control Room, The Medical Bay and The Science Lab!
Each of these environments contain meticulously crafted audio-scenes representing the three environments as well as the curated audio-stems (that are the isolated elements the scenes were made from.)
This sound-set is brimming with imaginative sounds and you have the ability to customize them any way you wish!
The first in our bundle is The Control Room – a somewhat cramped environment with futuristic tech sounding over the hum of nearby power systems. The mood is urgent and a bit rough around the edges- by design! Retro tech mingles with a lone AI speaking and a massive background rumble…
Next is the Medical Bay where the crew goes to be medically evaluated and healed using futuristic techniques. The mood is calm but controlled as a medical procedure unfolds before your ears! There are medical scans, anesthesia fields, healing apparatus and more!
Last is the Science Lab where mysteries are explored using the latest in futuristic scientific equipment! There are vibrant scans, dense subatomic extrapolations and neural data streams that will inspire your imagination!
All of our environments also include the less glamorous necessities like room tones and background rumbles to give your creations the believability they deserve.
The Upper Decks is a great value featuring a diverse palette of creative sounds for you to explore.
Just drag and drop our scenes or stems into any DAW or NLE have fun creating your own fantastic environments!
Orbital Emitter’s sound effects are designed for anyone to use- from industry professionals to fans looking to add dimension to a home video or whatever sci-fi multimedia you can imagine!
All of the sounds in this Bundle are delivered industry ready at 24 bit/48k stereo WAV and each sound file contains simple meta-data to make our sound files easy to organize & find. And everything we create is 100% original, 100% royalty free and designed to teleport your creative to the stars!
Thank you for reading and watch for more sci-fi sound from Orbital Emitter coming soon!

Remington Rand is an early American typewriter and adding machine manufacturer formed in 1927. The last Remington Rand branded business machine rolled off the line in 1958. The adding machine that we acquired was an electric version in good working condition. Remington Rand also manufactured things like shavers, pistols and calculators.
Our adding machine has a big electronic mechanism for the summing function and nice heavy clacks for the regular keys. It also had some very sticky metal plates that would occasionally get stuck and then pop loose with a big resonant ringing sound. This specific defect made an incredibly interesting sound that is very unique to this specific machine’s wear and tear.
As with the Burroughs Protectograph we miked it with three different mono perspectives to produce three very different sounds on each move. We used Schoeps CMC6/MK4 mics on the front and back and an AT4050 for the wide perspective in mono. The close perspectives are great for big thick clicks and mechanisms, and the wide is excellent for use in one offs for bgfx tracks.

Though these birds are in an abundance around most harbours and industry around here, they are not always easy to record. You mostly hear them from a distance, or from places not easy to access. When you try to get close to them, they will usually fly away.
Many hours have been spent on rooftops, gardens, backyards, a junkyard, and different harbours to get this material.

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.
