Tropical City Ambiences offers 59 stereo exterior recordings from cities along the Gulf of Mexico in diverse weather and time setups.
This is a definitive sound library for the legendary Soviet automobile: the original Lada. The Flysound team procured an old model of this retro series, with a charmingly worse-for-wear engine and a battered exhaust, and set to the task of recording the unique sounds of starting, idling, various engine speeds, acceleration, cruising and braking.
Externally the microphone set was a Neumann U 87, a Schoeps CMC6/MK4, and a Sennheiser MKH 416. Neumann U 87s were also used for recording the engine and exhaust, and wheel recordings were done by a Sennheiser MKH 416. The car’s interior was captured by a Neumann U 69.
We cataloged everything from quiet and calm sounds to the loud and crazy! Truly feel the retro atmosphere with our collection of Lada sounds.
Prepare to be transported back to Soviet times, with the Russian legend on wheels that is the Volga 21. Here in our library, you will find authentic engine sounds, how it starts up, revs, accelerates, how the brakes brake and how the car comes to a thundering halt.
In terms of microphones, externally we rigged a Neumann U 87, a Schoeps CMC6/MK4, and a Sennheiser MKH 416. Two other Neumann U 87 mics specially captured the engine and exhaust respectively, and wheel recordings were done by a Sennheiser MKH 416. We’ve also captured the sound of the doors, the wipers, gear shifts, and the iconic horn blast, using a Neumann KM 184 microphone for the interior takes.
If your project needs the authentic sound of motoring in the USSR, this library will breathe vitality into your sound design. Everything you need to bring bygone times back to life with our unique sound library is here, Comrade!

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.
