Beautiful Bells Vol 1 contains the solo ringing of 76 swinging bells, recorded in 43 churches, cathedrals, abbeys, basilicas and chapels across France, and 15 peals of multiple bells, called plenum, with unprecedented quality. Most of the sounds were recorded inside bell towers.
Swinging bells are struck by a hanging clapper. They have a natural pitch modulation due to the Doppler effect, and a timbre modulation due to varying orientation. They produce a deep and lively sound and are mostly used to announce masses, religious holidays, weddings and funerals.
Every bell size is represented in this library, from huge bourdons (bells whose pitch are below C3) weighing several tons to small chapel bells weighing around 20 kilograms. You will find bells founded from 16th to 21st century with a great variety of timbres and tunings. The sounds are sorted by note, from D2 to F5.
By sorting the solo sounds by location, you can recreate authentic bell combinations. You also have the freedom to create any custom combination or use the sounds as instruments in musical scores.
All the sounds in this library were recorded in bell towers or as close as possible to provide great sonic precision and optimal signal-to-noise ratio.

If you need to create suspense, tension and action  in your production, this library is great for you.

CHECK the demo. It was created very quickly using only the sounds of the pack with NO ADDED EFFECTS, only mixing the levels of the sounds.
If you liked my library “The Case” you are gonna like this one.
Essential Dynamic Drones is intended to be used in a more emotive sense. Some of the tracks are very ‘score’ like and may be able to stand on their own, while other darker, tonal tracks are great accompanied with a full SFX soundtrack behind it (them).
This isn’t a typical Drone library. These sounds, for the most part morph and change over time. Some rise, some fall, while others are constant and dark. Creating tension and uncertainty was the direction I was headed.
There are some ‘light-hearted‘ tracks that are intended to shape a more positive feeling, while the majority of the tracks are in a sense, denser, darker and more emotive, intending on creating uneasiness, uncertainty, and most definitely tension within a scene.
Found of sci-fi sound effects? Get whoosh, hum, drone and wing sounds performed with a tuneable rubber band sword (also called wind wand). This musical instrument was used in any possible way to bring you a wide range of expressive textures.
Sound material can be used to create any type of futuristic sound effect: space ships, helicopters, wings, laser, hum, ambiances, engines. It’s up to you.

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.
