In OBSCURUM – DARK DRONES you will find 61 uniquely crafted and designed drone and ambient pad sounds that will transport you to the darkest and most ominous places.

The library is structured into drones and pads that can be of deep and ominous or of dark and aggressive character. This collection is perfectly suited for dark Sci-Fi or Horror productions. Whether you want to create ominous and unsettling atmospheres or moments of high tension, you will find the right sound to masterful set the mood for the audience.
The TONAL ELEMENTS series has a heavy focus on creative sound design. It features assets that can fall anywhere between the classic definitions of a musical element or a typical hard effect aka. sound effect. They might be of rhythmical or sustained nature, they can be atonal or of tonal character, or even fall into the category of noise-like. In a media production, these elements always complete an important task, and that is to convey an emotion or help to tell the story, without being to obvious in the foreground, hence distracting the listener. Any Sound Designer should make use of these powerful tools, as they can make all of a difference when it comes to setting the right mood or triggering the right emotion at the right moment. These elements typically fall into categories like: Ambient Pads, Drones, Risers, Downers, Impacts, Stingers, Textures, Whooshes, etc..
Suspense, mystery, dynamic and epic atmospheres… and action! Find the true sound of it with Vadi Sound Library.

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.
