“Infinite” specializes in dark drones, wide ambiances and thrilling textures that play with great depth and large stage.
Each of the 160 included samples was carefully handcrafted by treating various sources with a complex chain of hardware FX units. The resulting sounds can be used out of the box whenever it comes to the creation of impressive background layers or establishing otherworldly movie scenes.
The library contains two folders: North and South.
The sounds in the North folder still have trace elements of harmonic structures while the South folder provides textures without decent pitch.
All contained sounds have looppoints embedded so that they can play infinitely in the true sense of the word.
This is achieved best with the two additional Kontakt 4 instruments that have all sounds layered across the keyboard.
Nevertheless, the delivered WAV files can be loaded into any modern software sample with loop support.

This library was derived entirely from material collected in the Metal Hits, Scrapes and Squeaks library. Each sound was meticulously crafted by hours of experimenting with different processing techniques. I created this library for fun and to in part showcase the flexibility of my metal recordings.
I spent a great deal of time exploring pitch manipulation with this library. Much of it relied on rendered processing to acquire the aesthetic that I wanted. My vision was to make something ethereal and vocal but also a bit vague.
I believe this library will provide excellent source material for a wide variety of applications. Both as stand-alone effects or layered in with other libraries/sounds to help create a dark/spooky aesthetic.
• In Wind Harp, get an expansive collection of musical winds from the mountains of the American Southwest. Hear singing wires brought to life by 30 mph gusts and desert winds meshing perfectly with musical drones. Hear blustery blasts whipping through mountain valleys and scrappy desert foliage rustling frantically. Hear dancing grasses strike fretboard strings, pinging rich melodies with each swaying stalk.
• To record this library an acoustic guitar was transformed into an aeolian harp. I hope this library gives you a chance to hear the wind in a way you haven’t heard it before. Enjoy listening to the natural music of the wind as it sings on long thin wires
2% FOR THE ENVIRONMENT:
• Two percent of the price of this library is donated to an environmental cause, as an “artist royalty” for the planet!

Geophonic Design Bundle is a diverse collection of unique and abstract designed sounds with infrasonic frequencies which go as low as 10Hz. The bundle includes three libraries with a total runtime of 217+ mins (7.01 GB) that have strong sci-fi & horror vibes perfect for your films, video games, documentaries and other projects that require a mysterious and ominous soundscape.
Our Audio Craftsmen used a ‘Geophone’ which is a seismic measurement device used to record seismic waves and vibrations of the earth, to record low heavy vibrations and rumbles of various surfaces and materials, hits and interactions of wood, metal, trees, soil, clay and other natural ingredients. We have also captured sounds from window glass, busy roads with vehicle pass bys, metal posts and rails with impacts, water passing through pipes, metal containers, plastic buckets and much, much more.
All of the included sounds were then precisely edited and designed by our dedicated in house team to build ambiences such as: outer space, underground bunkers, submarines, weather stations, underground sewers, a labyrinth of metal pipes, nuclear wastelands, research bases, boulder movement, metal ghost voices, spirits calling, subsonic water texture, tree bark connection, wind interference and many more. In addition, all the files are available in 24Bit 96kHz and with UCS compliant metadata to integrate seamlessly with your workflow.
The sounds will also make a great addition to your library as layered textures, to build a mysterious atmosphere in your projects, and will be perfect as drones and ambiences for futuristic, sci-fi and horror scenes.
You will be saving 25% of the total cost of the individual libraries when purchasing this bundle, an excellent value for money addition to your sci-fi/horror sound effects libraries.

Electromagnetic Design contains a wide variety of unique and abstract designed sounds including glitches, electronic movement, ambiences, futuristic elements and more.
Our Audio Craftsmen recorded sounds using electromagnetic coil pickups which capture signals and noises from devices. We used speakers, desktop monitors, computers, keyboard, mouse, room heaters, lights and even from a dehumidifier to generate the effects, all in 24Bit 96kHz allowing for further manipulation!
These recordings were then meticulously edited, designed and meta tagged, providing you with a suite of sounds suitable for Science Fiction, Horror, Abstract and Dramatic Films, Games and Television projects. The included sounds work well for machine, weapon, transition, gunshot, futuristic devices and many other types of sound effects.
Here are the included folders:

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.
