So We’ve been wanting to record in a deep dense Forest for sometime and this one was not only enjoyable but absolutely beautiful
We travelled to the Forest of Bowland, to record the beautiful sounds this Forest had to offer.
We were surrounded by Dense Conifer tree’s on a slightly damp/windy day which added to the atmosphere and extraordinary sounds the Forest created, with a constant variety of Bird songs and on occasions Sheep Bleating, it truly added to the recording experience.
Bowland was a hive of activity with some recordings capturing Aeroplane noises and vehicles driving around the Forest but we also got a variety of just natural Forest sounds without these disturbances.
The Forest will give you enough audio to give your project the authentic sound of a UK Forest boosting your project to the next level. The Forest has been edited to allow a drop in ready and Royalty Free sample pack. These Samples can be used in a variety of projects from Sound Designing/Compositions for TV, Film, Documentaries and Video Games. UCS Compliant and Metadata is attached to the samples

Unlike the previous volume, the sounds in this library were recorded worldwide over a period of 5 years.
We have taken great care in selecting and editing them to ensure they carry evocative and rich ‘airtones’.
In fact, they go beyond simple outdoor roomtones, often incorporating sounds of fauna, insects, local culture, and delicate flavorful sonic indications of time and location.
They, however, always stay low-profile and never presents intrusive noise that would interfere unless specified as a marker.
In addition to being a great filler for urban and suburban scenes, this collection will be a great companion when attempting to convey various feelings and moods such as quietude, post-apocalyptic, romanticism, mystery, depression, calmness, poetic, abandonment, nostalgia, freedom,….

All sounds in this library are in stereo. As extensive travels were involved in capturing these sounds, we decided to focus only on stereophonic capture instead of multichannel, making it more manageable throughout our journey. Nonetheless, these atmospheres embody a great sense of space and can be easily layered and spatialized in a surround space if needed.
The sounds of our world are full of beauty and intrigue, with each season bringing out a new and profound sound composition.

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.
