  • Environments & Ambiences Southeast Asia Play Track 147 sounds included, 225 mins total $45

    A field-recorded collection from Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand capturing the sounds of tropical environments, urban life, transport and religious sites.
    Southeast Asia includes jungle ambiences, heavy monsoon rains, street markets and traditional ceremonies.

    Last September, I spent 3 weeks vacationing in Southeast Asia, visiting Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand.
    During my stay, I recorded everything I thought could be characteristic of those cultures: from tropical to urban environments, religious ceremonies and places of worship, modes of transportation (from boats to tuk-tuks), spoken language, monsoon rain, etc.

    The recordings are situational, meaning I didn’t prepare anything before starting to record. If I found myself in a location that seemed suitable, I simply pressed REC.
    I used my Tascam DR100 MK3 or the Zoom F6 with a pair of Line Audio OM1 omnidirectional microphones

    Audio files are 96kHz/24 Bit. Cleaned and edited for professional use, with UCS naming and full metadata.

  • Aircraft - Jet/Propeller Plane Sound Effects Residential Forest Complete Play Track 155 sounds included, 1101 mins total $70.85

    Garden and nature all over the year: the fresh spring air filled with a morning concert of birds, crickets and summer ambiences, echoing neighbourhood chatter, gardening sounds, dogs barking, roosters crowing, jets and propeller planes passing overhead, as well as the profound silence and eerie presence of nocturnal animals in the depths of the night; the awakening of nature and residents in the early morning hours, and much more.

    ‘Residential Forest Complete’ combines all four libraries of long-term recordings from a German allotment environment into one. This remote area, surrounded by forest, features cottages, ponds, and an abundance of natural sounds. The library provides a rich blend of suburban, residential, and forest ambiences.

    ‘Residential Forest Complete’ includes 155 unique ambiences recorded in Germany during summer (August 2021), spring (April 2022), winter (January 2023) and autumn (October 2024). From these 96 hours of recordings, I have carefully selected and edited the finest moments, creating a 19 GB soundscape that takes listeners on a journey from afternoon to evening, through the night, and into the morning and midday hours in this residential forest setting.

    To capture the profound silence of the night, I used a matched pair of Rode NT1-A microphones with exceptionally low self-noise, paired with a Tascam HD-P1 recorder.

    The total duration of the library is approximately 13 hours, with most ambiences ranging from 5 to 10 minutes in length. Some are longer, while a few are shorter.

    ‘Residential Forest Complete’ was recorded in AB stereophony at 48 kHz, 24-bit.

  • Animal Sound Effects The Animal Symphony – Flight of the Bees Play Track 224 sounds included, 12 mins total $16

    The Animal Symphony – Flight of the Bees was made possible by the collaboration of “Mieles Sandrita“, who opened their doors to us and provided exceptional care throughout the recording process.

    This sound library offers 55 high-quality audio tracks, each with multiple variations meticulously captured to ensure unmatched sound quality. The recordings are organized with consistent nomenclature, making it easy to combine or swap takes depending on the needs of your project.

    Recording bees in motion posed a unique challenge, as they kept flying around the microphones, and tracking them accurately was virtually impossible due to the number of bees present. Still, we managed to capture complete swarm environments, including tracks with predetermined durations and continuous loops. Some takes can be combined, as on occasion a bee remained within the capture radius of all microphones simultaneously.

    Most of the fluttering sounds are available individually so you can create your scene according to your preferences. Additionally, the sounds are not pre-panned, allowing for complete flexibility in adjusting them to your mix.

    The recording was done with high-end equipment, such as the Sennheiser MKH 8050 microphone, the Sanken CO-100K and a Zoom H6 recorder to capture stereo sound. Thanks to ultrasonic capture, by lowering the pitch of the recordings, a depth and frequency richness is maintained ideal for creative uses, such as the creation of spaceships, jet engines or any sound design.

    The tracks were recorded at 24-bit and 192 kHz / 96 kHz, guaranteeing professional quality in every detail.

    Finally, all recordings have been carefully edited to remove external noises, such as birds, wind, people or footsteps, ensuring a clean experience ready for use in any professional production.

    Ideal applications:
    – Video games: Add realism and depth to the natural environments of your games.
    – Cinema and Documentaries: Enrichment of the audiovisual product with authentic sounds.
    – Educational Applications: Use these sounds in educational projects to teach about wildlife and animal behavior.
    – Multimedia Projects: Ideal for any project that seeks to enrich the user’s listening experience.

    Technical details:
    – Total audios: 55 (224 Individually)
    – Format: 192kHz – 96kHz/24bit
    – Equipment used: Zoom F6 recorder with Sennheiser MKH 8050 microphone and EM258 capsule microphone, as well as a Zoom H6 recorder for stereo.
    – Duration: 12m

  • Animal Sound Effects Sound Themes – Wings In Motion 01 Play Track 2539 sounds included, 152 mins total $99

    Designing wing sounds for flying creatures can sometimes be a challenge. And when it comes to creature sounds, it’s all about options. A small bird like a wren sounds very different than an adult gray goose. To find the right texture, and distinguish between wide and narrow wings, or to accomplish the task of designing bat or dragon wings, I created this library.

    This library contains over 11GB of data consisting of 341 files and 2539 sound effects. Besides the typical fabric wing flaps, I used all sorts of props sorted by materials like rubber, neoprene, plastic, paper, etc. This opens the door to new creative sound design options to make your flying creature sound exactly how you want it to. I added all sorts of buzzing, clicking and rustling sounds especially for the flying insects.

  • Animal Sound Effects California Grassland Bundle Play Track 160+ sounds included From: $190 From: $150

    The California Grassland Bundle includes two Libraries, California Grassland Abandoned and California Grassland Wildlife. The recordings from this library mostly took place in The Carrizo Plain, an open expanse of Grassland located West of the Mojave Desert in California’s Central Valley.

    California Grassland Abandoned recordings feature dilapidated remnants of old ranches, water tanks, barns, metal sheds, farm machinery, and corrals.  Many of these were far off the beaten path and a number of miles were logged along dirt and gravel roads.  The focus was to record things that had a lot of character.  Also included are calm, medium, and higher winds in metal sheds, small houses, barns, tall dry grass, and in some exterior locations out in the Plain.

    California Grassland Wildlife features of over 30 different species of birds that can be found in Grassland, Plains, and High Desert Environments.  Also included are a few recordings of Coyotes, Grasshoppers, Insects, along with some quieter ambiences.

    At first glance, one wouldn’t think there’d be much wildlife out in such a vast remote area, but I discovered the Grassland has quite a bit going on.  A lot of the old structures, along with the few areas with trees become the resting place and shelters for birds and animals.  Over a span of two years I made a number of trips to this location trying to capture as much of the local wildlife as I could.

    More info on both libraries can be found by clicking on the Individual links.

  • Animal Sound Effects More Eurasian Animals – Big Bugs to Wildcats Play Track 1000+ sounds included $92

    This library mostly consists of isolated mammal, bird, amphibian & insect sounds from Europe recorded close up in nature or at rewilding shelters.

    While all animals have been recorded in Germany, many inhabitat places all around the world, from Asia to Africa and America.

    I already released three libraries with Eurasian animals and they are also available as a bundle with this library.

    Eursian Birds

    Eurasian Insects

    Eurasian Mammals

    This library adds isolated recordings of animals that have not been very present in my other libraries of living creatures. I did record some big bugs (stag beetle, violet carpenter bee, maybug…), some bad-tempered european wildcats and rare birds (bald ibis, eagle owl, little owl…). Also I included lots of frog and toad recordings with species that are seldom heard nowadays as well as more common species. There is a couple of juvenile animals (nutria, mute swan, house sparrow,…) in here too.

    It is a perfect library not only for nature documentaries or other realistic sound design, but as everything was captured in high sample rates up to 192kHz, it can be used as unique source sounds for dinosaurs, aliens, monsters, zombies, fictional animals and creatures or even for weird machines.

    Some animals can not be fully represented by single sounds, so I added some nature ambiences, like a rich frog chrous or a busy flock of starlings.

    List of animals:

    Midwife Toad, European Treefrog, Natterjack Toad, Common Toad, Edible Frog, Pool Frog, Marsh Frog, Yellow Bellied Toad, Carp, Bechsteins Bat, Common Noctule, Lesser Noctule, Daubentons Bat, Bees: Anthophora plumipes, Anthophora bimaculata, Andrena nigroaenea, Megachile pilidens, Melitta haemorrhoidalis, Osmia adunca, Violet Carpenter Bee, Bugs: Greater Stag Beetle, Maybug, Plagionotus arcuatus, Bumblebee: Bombus pascuorum, Bombus sylvarum, Red Tailed Cuckoo Bee, Flys: Calliphoridae, Big Fly, Moth: Large yellow underwing, Wasp: European Hornet, European Wasp, Sphex, Mammals: European Wildcat, Giant Otter, Nutria, Racoon, Reindeer, Wolf, Carrion Crow , Eurasian Magpie, Jackdaw, Canada Geese, Common Moorhen, Coot, Eurasian Wigeon, Greylag Goose, Mallard, Mute Swan, Rock Ptarmigan, Ruddy Shellduck, Water Rail , Black Woodpecker, Common Crane , Green Woodpecker, Grey Heron, Quail, Ring Necked Pheasant , Wood Pigeon, Boreal Owl, Caucasian Eagle Owl , Eagle Owl, Eurasian Kestrel, Harris Hawk, Little Owl, Long Eared Owl, Peregrine Falcon, Tawny Owl, Black Headed Gull, Aquatic Warbler, Bald Ibis, Barn Swallow, Blue Tit, Corn Bunting , Dunnock, Eurasian Blackbird, Eurasian Jay, Eurasian Treecreeper, European Starling, Golden Oriole, Greenfinch, House Sparrow, Long Tailed Tit, Marsh Tit, Mistle Thrush, Red Backed Shrike, Red Thrush, Reed Bunting, Wren, Rose Ringed Parakeet

  • Animal Sound Effects Collections Periodical Cicadas Play Track 10+ sounds included, 43 mins total $30

    Periodical Cicadas features the sounds of millions of periodical cicadas singing en masse. There are extended drones and screeches, up-close wing-fluttering pass-bys and multiple pharaoh, or mating calls. Two broods, XXII and V, were recorded in 2014 and 2016 respectively.

    Hear cicadas fluttering inches away from the microphones. I climbed an 80-foot tall fire tower to be where the cicadas sang their loudest. I also positioned microphones atop wide vistas and open fields adjacent to woods to capture the cicada’s near-deafening drones.

    Except for cicadas fluttering back and forth directly overhead, landing on me, and having to keep calm, quiet and still while recording, I thoroughly enjoyed making this library. It’s a small library packing a big sound. I can’t wait for the next brood to emerge in southeast Ohio next year. I hope you enjoy using this cicada-mania wall of sound for your next project.

  • Animal Sound Effects Street Dogs Play Track 1000+ sounds included, 72 mins total $50

    Street Dogs is a collection of field recordings from a sleeping city with a huge population of free-ranging dogs.

    Many of us have likely worked on nighttime scenes where the bark of a dog in an empty street adds just the right touch of depth, desolation, and a sense of space. A few well-known recordings of this type are commonly utilized, but Street Dogs offers a broad range of fresh, untapped tracks of stray dogs.

    Captured in nightly streets with natural acoustics, this collection features a variety of locations and perspectives, including both individual dogs and groups. Additionally, there are several chilling captures of dog fights that will make the hairs on your neck stand up.

    The recordings were made in AB stereo with a spaced pair of microphones, providing a wide stereo width that creates an expansive, vivid listening experience on speakers. This setup also allows for flexibility, enabling you to narrow the stereo width as needed, making the recordings perfect elements for crafting detailed and immersive ambiences.

    Every track has been thoroughly edited and tagged with metadata.

    Disclaimer: All recordings are genuine field captures; there was no interaction with the animals during the recording process. Any dog fights captured in the recordings were not initiated by the recordist.
