Ambience Vol.1 is the first library in our Film, TV & Game Essentials range. If you are a working sound effects editor, sound designer, film maker or game designer… this really is content for everyday usage! And we say that with some experience working across multiple film, TV and video game productions. This library covers all of the practical, go-to sound categories that sound editors use on a daily basis working with fiction, factual, animation and interactive world design.
Urban and suburban areas. This library contains a broad selection of city and suburban recordings, featuring activity from people in exterior and interior settings, clearly audible footsteps and movement on exterior surfaces like pavements, alleyways and walla at different densities. Sirens, street sounds and signature city environments are all included in this selection.
Interiors and Room Tones. One of the staples of sound effects editing, the background room tone. Useful for ADR editors and sound effects editors alike, this library features a number of tones, background hums and ambience that will provide the perfect bed for set dialogue, ADR and replacing missing interior shots from set. Our room tone content also makes the perfect edition for sound editors looking to enhance the audio from set or create a realistic environment scene. From perfectly still rooms to interior weather recordings, this selection can bring your interior scenes to life in any genre or story.
Nature. Vol.1 wildlife and natural environment selection includes ambiences from Brazil, Costa Rica, Mexico, England, Wales and Thailand. Featuring dense rainforests, jungle trails, native villages, hillsides, farmland and fields. From pristine natural environments to rural countryside shared with people, there are options to cover exotic and European exterior spaces that will prove useful across multiple genres and most everyday applications. Wide spread bird species are featured in these nature recordings that remain common across Europe and North America, such as guls, pigeons, ducks and more. The rural recordings included also contain common farm animals like sheep in fields.
Water. With so many textures and possible settings for water, this selection aims to provide some common use cases. Various intensities of sea waves, tidal sounds, waves against man made features and natural shorelines are included along with inland rivers, streams and water features. Elements like dripping, trickling and splashing all add detail and enhance any background mix or ambience design that contains these visual attributes.
Whatever the Weather… we’ve got you covered! This library contains multiple selections for rain and wind, along with enhanced detailed elements like howling, whistling, rain on specific surfaces, interior weather, exterior suburban weather and thunder. Nothing soaks the ground and sounds quite like tropical rain, thats covered too… with contextual weather recordings from Brazil and Mexico. Springtime rain from England and close reflections from rain splashing down in urban areas, the choice and flexibility featured in this set is not often seen in a single collection and represents great value for sound professionals to use again and again on productions.
From industry veterans to first time designers, this collection will prove useful on almost any production and add value to even the most established of sound effects collections. Recorded using Tascam, Sound Devices, DPA, AKG and Sennheiser equipment… and more than a decade in the making!
Wind collection Vol 2 offers gentle breezes to strong gusts, spooky drafts to rare old bamboo field wind sounds. All files are clean and contain no traffic noise or any other human made annoying sounds. This means the wind sounds can cover many productions including documentary, game sounds, movie background, and for all time periods! From medieval settings to unknown times and places, these wind recordings offer a credible background. During 3 years this collection was growing bit by bit, adding variations and useful situations. The rare presence of insects or birds is mentioned in the metadata, but they apply to less than a handful of files.
The acoustic wind collection covers over 3,5 hours of stereo recordings, binaural recordings for immersive wind sounds, and some mono files for specific use.
When Loop is indicated in the filename, the file can be looped as you would expect, but these files are unlike sample loops, or instrument loops: they are of course longer and loop after a good amount of time, sometimes several minutes. The looped files are chosen by their contents and have no moments that are too recognizable if heard a second time, so they are useful for backgrounds.
All files have UCS compliant names and include metadata with useful descriptions.
You can find a Draft folder with stereo and binaural recordings in interesting abandoned places that had a draft close to a door or window. You might hear some dark reverb or cracks in those places that deliver a great ghostly atmosphere.
The bamboo wind recordings are also very special as these were made in old bamboo fields that were not cleaned. This means there were old and broken parts between the weeping bamboo, assuring nice clunks and squeaks.
Other than that you will find many winds, through air, through vegetation, in empty villages, in a small van for specific perspectives, wind through tunnel, very bad recordings with no wind protection for typical interview fails…
You can find the following libraries in this collection >

Also known as Qiandao Lake, this beautiful location consists of 1078 islands of all different shapes and sizes which naturally brings with it enchanting nature sounds!

Nature’s Fury: Rain is a collection of a wide variety of rain on various surfaces: light, heavy, splatty and more!

Rain And Thunder gives you recordings from the beginnings of raindrops from the sky, through the various stages from nascent raindrops to torrential downpours, ending with the remains after the rains of splattering drop impacts, various drainage systems and settling back down into the earth.

Add a sense of authenticity to any cold climate in your game or film by using recordings that were made with great effort to capture the wild nature of Denali avoiding human interference.

Kaleidoscope is the first library of the project. It includes field recordings of various categories made in 2022-2023. All files are standardized according to the UCS system. The library features various atmospheric recordings immersing listeners into specific vivid and deep states.
Working on this library was very challenging personally for me. It took over a year to perfect it. It was difficult to remember where each recording was from and why I made it in the first place. Sometimes, photos from the locations helped, where I had to dig deep into my memory and listen to the recordings multiple times.
Kaleidoscope is a collection of disparate recordings united by one idea – to capture the here and now. From the clicks of waves resonating in the concrete confines of an abandoned duct to the atmosphere of an empty hotel room, from rain drumming on a metal canopy to sliding crystals in icy voids. The library is presented in two versions – stereo and spatial (5.0). Everything was recorded on the incredible Nevaton MS50 microphone in quad and DMS modes

We heard there was a storm coming to the UK so of course we wanted to record it, instead of going to a wide open space we wanted to record it in a typical UK back garden, mainly as we wanted to record a storm reacting with its surroundings. This Storm was moderate in nature, we managed to record gusts of wind and rain as well as the storm rattling fences, blowing bushes/trees and moving items, as well as general residential/suburban sounds.
Back Garden Storm will give you enough audio to give your project the authentic sound of a good ole British Storm, boosting your project to the next level. Back Garden Storm 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

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!
