Signature Sound Collection
A sound effect library of electromagnetic sound clips including buzzes, drones, crackles, pops, and more.
The Electromagnetic Sound Library is a 2.96 gigabyte bundle of 235 buzzes, drones, clicks, pops, and other EMI effects. Crafted to use in sound design, the clips are ideal for high-tech accents, bad transmissions, computing tones, magnetic buzzes, and more otherworldly technological elements.
The bundle is packed full of recordings of VLF radio frequencies using a LOM Priezor passive magnetic antenna and an electric guitar pickup box. A broad mix of subjects ranging from power tools to household appliances to motors and computers produce broad tones and drones as well as shorter clicks, pops, and pulses.
The collection is named and described with care with ample keywords to ensure these strange sounds will be found fast.
Recorded with a magnetic coil microphone, this library unveils the hidden, rich sound-world of your household appliances and a 3D printer at work. It records the oscillations in the electric sound field that’s emitted from electrical devices. Also includes several longer sequences that can be used as building blocks for creating your now sci-fi sounds, and more…
SONIKSCAPE has been produced to create intense underscore, dark atmospheres and abstract textures.

A massive electro-acoustic drone SFX library reft from a custom designed and hand-built instrument! These drones were coaxed from a unique instrument using the power of air. No harsh picking or plucking, just assorted techniques for moving air deftly across the strings.
The guitar, Yvaine, was recorded simultaneously via two tracks (one direct and another amped and mic’d) and was set to 23 different tunings to encompass the full spectrum of her voice, character, and soul. The tunings are as follows:
All5ths | B6th | Capo12th | CassianoPereiraViana | CrossnoteF | Cuba | DADGAD | DropB | Hawaiian | Koto | OpenA | OpenC | OpenD | OpenE | OpenF | OpenG | OpenPage | Orkney | Ostrich | Pentatonic | “Spira” | Standard | TheEdge
The files range from uber clean and harmonic to gritty, crackling, and distorted. For some of the overdriven amped recordings, we even experimented with creative NR settings for the modulation of artificial harmonics…and kept some of the more colorful results! Between the two different tracks, multiple takes were made per strength, per position, per recording. Depending on which takes were best, some of the DI and amped captures matched, while others were physically different. This offers unique layering capabilities for some sets while allowing for variety in others. Some of the sets are missing particular strength recordings at specific positions. But if a capture wasn’t appropriate, we didn’t include it.
This is a bountiful collection of droning goodness. Use it for good.
RAW BUFFERS – a Discman glitch library.
Abrasive glitch clicks, scrambles, tones and bursts.

Back and Forth was born of an idea of Matteo Milani and Lorenzo di Tria (aka Dj Mate/Signal Generator), thinking on how to build an intuitive and great sounding music tool for contemporary producers and sound designers.
Based on Lorenzo’s experience on the art of turntablism and Matteo’s ability to produce distinctive sound effect libraries, this collection is now an easy way to add real scratch and turntable performances to your musical and audiovisual projects, and finally make them sounds better then ever before.
The unsurpassed sound of the needle in the groove and the cuts of the crossfader generate an unmistakable music quality and uniqueness.
The library follow the naming structure provided by UCS (Universal Category System), a public domain initiative supported by sound librarians, vendors, and users from around the globe.

Electromagnetic Design Vol. 3 is brought to you as a successor to one of our best selling sound effects libraries. This collection contains a vast array of experimental and designed sounds captured using electromagnetic coil pickups and receivers. Perfect for building a futuristic atmosphere for your sci-fi/thriller projects as well as a great addition for sound designers to their general audio collection.
Our Audio Craftsmen captured a varied assortment of electromagnetic signals, electrical malfunctions and disconnections from various devices like computers, speakers, plug sockets, switches, TVs and phones. All of these sounds were then meticulously edited and designed to make a wide variety of glitches, a mix of ambiences with positive, negative and neutral tonalities, disconnection impacts with glitchy thuds, and electricity infused risers.
All of the sounds are extensively meta-tagged and UCS compliant so that you can easily find the sound you need. In addition, all of the files are provided dry in 192kHz/24bit allowing for further sonic manipulation.

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.
