When we released our WHOOSHES for EDITORS Vol 1 sound-set in 2022, we had no idea how popular it would be with industry professionals as well as folks new to media creation.
So when we embarked on making a sequel of sorts to that first sound-set, we knew it had to be different. Where volume 1 was a best-of assortment, volume 2 is an expansive toolkit of cinematic sound design for you to explore…
Founder of Orbital Emitter, Charlie Eisenhardt conceptualized CINEMATIC TRANSITIONS VOL II as an inspiring and flexible sound-set with sounds suited for any feature film, television/streaming show, video game, audio drama or virtually any project needing emotive transitional sound! But there are also simple and muted sounds designed to fit conventional projects as well. Have a listen to our demo to hear for yourself!
CINEMATIC TRANSITIONS VOL II contains 11 transition categories within over 132 sound files… These categories include whooshes, swoops, sweeps, swells, pass byes, risers, attackers, cues and 3 separate types of impacts… But there’s more! Most of the sounds in this set feature multiple takes and variants to ensure that our sounds fit any creative workflow!
So whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned professional, we guarantee that you will find our transition sounds to be fun and easy to use in all your creative projects!

And along with the two audio folders we also include a PDF guide to help you organize our sounds to fit your creative workflow.
Our #1 goal is to provide you with sounds that let you focus on your creative process as quickly as possible. That’s why we test our sounds with other award winning editors & sound mixers to see how they use them, then we present them to you!
We hope this robust sound-set adds impact and energy to all your creative projects!

The Porsche 911 GT3 is not a typical race car.
With engine, transmission, air intake and exhaust all situated in the rear of the vehicle under a large wing, this pure driving machine has sonic characteristics very different from many familiar racing vehicles. Its exhaust note is deep and throaty and the transmission is snappy at speed.
The Porsche 911 GT3 library is a series of recordings that were made on a track just outside of Houston on media day for the Effort race team. These are 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 Rs that race on the Pirelli World Challenge series. Each car has a naturally aspirated, water cooled, four valve 4.0 liter flat six cylinder Porsche engine. These cars create 500 horse power from the factory and race with E10 fuel. The transmission is a Porsche six gear racing box with sequential shift mechanism.
With full access to the vehicles and the track, we recorded up to 13 channels on every movement.
• Onboards including Sanken CUB01, Crown PZM and Sanken COS11 mics
• Interiors captured with a Sure VP-88

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.
