Hum, Buzz & Glitch Sound Effects Unusual EMF Play Track 103 sounds included $54

For a long time I have wanted to make my contribution to the EMF sound effects market, with a set of little more unusual EMF sounds.

Listening to, and recording electrical signals of lift servos, AC adaptors switching on and off, electrical toothbrushes, weird analog devices, tv sets and much more is basically what this library of sounds is made from.

The end result is 103 mono and stereo tracks of appliances turning on and off, running, and maneuvering the Electrousi microphones around in a most often improvised and I dont know what Im doing kind of way.

Drones & Mood Sound Effects Feedback Loops Play Track 50 sounds included $27

Feedback Loops brings you a versatile pack full of different loops. In this pack you will find a plethora of analogue and digital sounds. By routing the output to the input of an analogue synth, our Audio Craftsmen were able to design a huge range of volatile feedback loops that continuously evolve over time. Digital synths were also used to create more complex sounds. They can be used for scenes involving live equipment and electricity. Their unique character allows for more complex sound design.

Our Audio Craftsmen have developed 3 different categories to be used individually, or as a basis for further sonic manipulation.

Sounds have been separated into the following categories:

Analogue: These feedback loops were created using an analogue synth to create more natural sounds.

Digital: These loops sound more harsh in comparison to the analogue sounds, and therefore are more complex

Simple: These loops don’t have any recorded manipulation so they can be used a low hums.

All sounds were recorded in 24Bit 96kHz, and have been tagged with extensive UCS metadata for ease of use.

Wayne Pashley

Supervising Sound Editor/Re-recording Mixer, The Lego Movie & Mad Max: Fury Road

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!

David Farmer

Sound designer:
Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit trilogies

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!

Charles Deenen

Director, Digital - Source Sound Inc.

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!

Zdravko Djordjevic

founder of The Audio Spotlight

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!

Bob Bronow, CAS, MPSE

Re-recording Mixer, Sound Designer: Deadliest Catch, Ax Men, The Wrecking Crew

A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.
