Get the sounds of incredible New Zealand with this new library: I went down to New Zealand to visit a relative and record and experience the north island. It was an unforgettable trip. I rented a car, stayed on a farm, and explored as much as I could of the island.
I recorded everything from cities to beaches to forests and farms and beyond! I even hopped on a 8 person plane to the Great Barrier Island off the coast of New Zealand to capture sounds.
BONUS – I traveled to Sydney, Australia for a week and recorded ambience and walla along the way. This is all included in the library!

Rain is 4 hours / 7.74Gb of rain on many surfaces.
113 separate files – recorded in 24bit/96kHz. All sounds are UCS-compatible.
Rain is a library of sounds collected since 2011. It features rain recorded as ambiances or beds and as specifics. For me, rain is the same as wind:
if it sounds like white noise, it isn’t interesting. Just like my wind recordings, I have recorded rain where it hits something that makes a distinctive
sound, something with a bit of character, rhythm or feeling.
Over the years, I have recorded rain in M/S, A-B stereo and mono. I have used condensers and contact mics. All of that is represented
in this collection.
Some of the recordings exist in both original M/S versions, as well as the decoded results (XY). In this way, you can get ready-to-use stereo,
or get more control of width (or just the mono signal) with M/S. A few of the sounds were only recorded in mono, and I have left them in as such. They are quite percussive and close-up anyway, so may be used as elements. You also get several seamless loops.
You will find rain on man-made materials, as well as vegetation, and even a couple of rain recordings from Sri Lanka and Tokyo. These have been released previously in their own libraries, but I thought they were both interesting and generic enough to do some good here as well.
DYNAMIC SOUNDS OF THE OCEAN
This collection of ocean sound effects is truly one of a kind, offering a wide range of detailed nature field recordings for your projects. From gentle waves splashing onto sandy beaches and the light lapping of water between rocks, stones and clacking pebbles, to storm-driven surf and the powerful crashing against solid cliffs, you will find every kind of sound that you need to bring the ocean to life.
All of the recordings are seamlessly loopable, making it easy and fast to craft your own soundscapes. Whether you are looking to design the sound of a raging storm at sea, the quiet rippling of water in a harbor, or the peaceful and rhythmic atmosphere of a beach, OCEAN WAVES has it all.
RECORDED ALL OVER THE WORLD
The waves of this library were meticulously recorded on the coasts and beaches of some of the world’s most beautiful bodies of water – the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the North Sea and the South China Sea. We have spent countless hours capturing the perfect wave sound, and this extensive effort has resulted in an exceptional and varied selection of recordings, ready to be used to create the perfect ocean-inspired atmosphere.
Harry Barnes (Sound Designer)
Ocean Waves has a varied and incredibly detailed set of sound recordings that I have used in my last two projects, and have utilised in my current one. I now know I have the detail I require when I am track laying any type of sea or beach scenes. The tracks range from the roar of ocean waves to the gentle lapping of water with more in between – the variation is great. All are clean of any background noise and fit perfectly into making a scene as real as possible.

Recorded at the Technical University of Denmark and at a big Art Workshop in Copenhagen – in collaboration with sound designer and field recordist Rune Palving. This collection of sounds captures the crowds, both loud and more quiet, and the different rooms, halls, and hallway tones that are speciel to such places.
The Technical University files are all surround files, recorded in double MS and mixed into 5.0 tracks. Recorded in very crowded places, like the dining area, and at the library, but also in more quiet places, like the auditorium wardrobes and in the rest rooms.

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.
