Experience the fusion of music and sound design with, Musical Textures, the latest cinematic sound effects bundle from 344 Audio. This collection reimagines musical instrument recordings as rich, expressive sound design elements, delivering an inspiring toolkit that bridges the worlds of music and filmic storytelling.
This is not a music library — it’s something tonal, textural, and uniquely crafted to bring musicality into the realm of cinematic sound design.
After months of tireless work, the 344SFX team, (with the involvement of skilled musicians), captured performances from electric guitars, bells, chimes, gongs, harps, percussion and more, then meticulously transformed them into a stunning range of designed assets. The result is a library that blends musical expression with cinematic sound design, delivering sounds that feel both organic and otherworldly — ready to enhance emotion, tension, and atmosphere across your creative projects.
Inside, you’ll discover a rich tapestry of cinematic textures: swelling risers sculpted from cymbals, thunderous hits shaped from singing bowls and percussive elements, and sharp, melodic stingers inspired by East Asian instruments. Long, enveloping drones, crafted through inventive sound design — add tension and atmosphere, while deep subs, lush pads, ethereal ambiences, and harmonic tonal beds bring emotional depth and tonal complexity. You’ll also find a selection of short, expressive musical performances, ideal for transitions, title cards, or scene changes that call for a nuanced, human touch.
Whether you’re building transitions, accenting key moments, or shaping immersive soundscapes, Musical Textures adds tonal richness and cinematic character to your design palette.
Every sound has been meticulously crafted by our in-house audio artisans, making this library ideal for sound designers working in film, television, trailers, and games.
With 863 sound effects, totaling 30.4GB, and delivered in both 24-bit / 96kHz and 192kHz, each file is embedded with UCS metadata for easy integration into your workflow.
Musical Textures is your toolkit for expressive, tonal, and cinematic sound design, where instruments become atmosphere, and melody becomes motion.

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.

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.
