Moreover, some additional advanced features are included, which take advantage of the Kontakt built-in granular engine for sample playback, for deeper sound manipulation.

Electricity Sound Effects Sound Themes – Electro Magnetic 01 Play Track 378 sounds included, 123 mins total $42

Electro Magnetic 01 is part of the Sound Themes Series by Systematic Sound. This is a special one. I basically recorded sounds, that can’t be heard by humans. Beneath the world of human hearing there are other hidden sonic words. Let’s explore the world of electro-magnetic fields, where radio frequencies are buzzing and swirling through the air. You will hear electrical hums droning, aggressive digital buzzing, erratic RF-hits, clicks, glitches & interferences. The sounds of data transmissions and the sounds of electro-magnetic engines oscillating and fluctuating in a strange way. These sounds have been captured with a device for electromagnetic listening. They are perfectly suited to kick start your creativity and enhance your sonic palette. These abstract sounds build make great production elements for your creative Sound Design work.

The idea behind the SOUND THEMES SERIES is to record and portrait sound related to a certain theme, subject or object of interest. The goals is to create exciting and unique sounds and make them available to other creatives to help them make they’re production extraordinary, emotional and cinematic. I’m always on the hunt for unique, evocative and intriguing sound to add to this Library.

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.

Gabriel Guy

Frozen, Big Hero 6

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!

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.
