    Drones & Mood Sound Effects Around Bridges 1 (Dresden) Play Track 70 sounds included, 30 mins total $25

    Around Bridges introduces the inner sound of various bridges.
    The steel components of a bridge transmit the vibrations caused by passing cars or pedestrians in a fascinating manner.
    So this library contains the sounds of excited beam barriers, noise barriers, expansion gaps and a lot more steel components that bridges are made of.
    Also included are takes of footsteps, rain and wind – ordinary noises that get a certain magic when recorded at a handrail.
    To round up this library several high quality AB-stereo ambiences of the acoustical surroundings of bridges are included.

  • City Life Sound Effects We Are The People Play Track 57+ sounds included $25

    We are the People is a sound effects library filled with protests chants from the 2012 NATO protests in Chicago.

    Two locations give this library two aurally unique crowd environments. The downtown protests reflect off the surrounding buildings, giving them a neat urban quality, while the Ravenswood protests give the impression of a more open environment. Groups of protesters in unified chant ranged in size from just a few to perhaps 200 or more. Many of the recordings have wonderful builds, starting with one or two voices and grow from there, in both size and intensity.

    These recordings work great as stand alone effects or for layering in some specificity to crowds. The next time your designing a defiant crowd, bring some authenticity with We are the People.

    Crete
    Nature dominates here and we got our ankles wet recording all she has to offer.  Big surf, coves and gurgling rock pools. Mountain goats, crows, roosters and an early dawn chorus. Insects of the Agia Erini Gorge – more Cicadas than you can shake a stick at!

  • City Life Sound Effects Nightlife Play Track 30+ sounds included, 113 mins total $50

    ‘Nightlife’ is an collection of authentic nightclub based crowd ambiences, professionally recorded over an entire evening outside a busy and popular nightlife location in London.

    This unique library captures audible moments beginning with a few small groups of revellers, excitable but sober as they arrive for their evening out. Then the ambiences journey through to the earlier hours of the next morning and throwing out time, when larger crowds emerge louder, looser and perhaps drunker than before.

    These expressive tracks perfectly capture the atmosphere of a night evolving, featuring genuine nightlife walla and  including ‘spot’ type effects of reactions such as; whoops, shouts, cheers and screams. 

    All sounds in the ‘Nightlife’ SFX pack have been recorded in high-quality 24bit, 96kHz using Sound Devices recorders and DPA microphones. In addition, each individual file has been tagged with detailed Soundminer metadata to speed up workflow and increase organisation.

  • Weather Sound Effects Cinematic Winds: Volume 2 Play Track 77 sounds included, 180+ mins total $119

    Create with the dynamic energy of wind. As one of the most challenging subjects to record, wind sounds also inspire a range of creative and practical uses on projects of all types. That’s why we’re proud to present Cinematic Winds: Volume 2 – the exclusive followup to our most popular specialty library, Cinematic Winds.

    Like its predecessor, much of this wind sound effects library is curated from legendary film sound designers Ann Kroeber and Alan Splet – both well known for their work with David Lynch and more. Volume 2 expands on this with even more moody, colorful wind recordings from Academy Award®-winning sound artist Richard King (Dunkirk, Inception) plus recordist/sound designer Colin Lechner (Raconteur Sound).

    These sounds are full of character – from light breezes and swirling heavy gusts, to carefully-crafted whistling wisps and ghostly roaring swells. Capture the emotive power of wind as it rustles through leaves and howls through windows – ideal for inducing subconscious emotion, imposing a powerful presence, or creating both earthy and surreal soundscapes.

    Descriptive embedded metadata helps you find exactly the sound you need with practical, literal interpretations as well as emotional impressions of the sound effects. The wind sounds are grouped into five categories:

    • Moody Winds: Tonal, eerie, mournful, lonely
    • Interior Winds: Resonant staircases, barns, caves, pipes
    • Nature Winds: Through trees, over mountains, water, sand
    • Wild Winds: Gusting, whipping, whooshing, swirling
    • Storm Winds: Intense, howling, rumbling, shrieking

    •  77 sound effects (7.48GB)
    • Over 3 hours of powerful wind recordings
