Modular Synth is a collection collaborated by Ross Fish and Kai Paquin, this collection represents a series of one shot sounds featuring sample and hold, granular, and FM synthesis using a custom built modular synth rack.
As a sound editor, I always found it frustrating when cutting cellphone ringtones and beeps for movies or TV shows. Firstly, we are unable to use copyrighted tunes, often leading us to resort to old 90s cellphone ringtones. Secondly, the challenge lies in ensuring that the beeps and ringtones are not overly intrusive while still being easily recognizable.
To address these issues, I developed the “Telephones and Computers Survival Toolkit” sound effects library. This comprehensive collection includes 1221 sound effects, encompassing mouse clicks and movements, USB drive insert/eject sounds, power-up chords, old-school beeps, animation sounds, cellphone ringtones, cellphone beeps, haptics, etc. Additionally, some cellphone ringtones are organized in patterns, allowing users to mix pattern “stems” and create new variations of ringtones.
All sound effects are provided at 48kHz/24-bit, in raw or “full bandwidth” format. This enables users to modify the sounds using their preferred plugins.
Regarding the provided demo files on SoundCloud:
The sound effects have intentionally been altered to give listeners a realistic sense of how they would sound in a real-life situation.
‘GEIGER COUNTER’ by Flysound is a comprehensive sound catalog for a very unique piece of kit: a Soviet era radiation measurement device.
We have captured the different beat intensities of the machine, the strength of detection signalling, and other sounds such as on/off. We were able to capture the nozzle reacting to real radiation – minimal, but still significant enough to create great sound.
The 96kHz/24bit synced recordings bring the sound of atomic danger into the 21st century production values category. The metadata has been written to adhere to the Universal Category System.
Ghostly Presences is a collection of ambiences made specifically for use in your horror genre projects.

The sounds of an electric guitar being bashed about and smashed.
Pete Townshend of The Who claimed that he first smashed a guitar out of anger when he accidentally put the head of his Rickenbacker through a low venue ceiling, damaged the guitar and decided to finish the job.
Well, that opened the floodgates and plenty of guitar players have followed suit.
I took a guitar and an amp and gave them hell, so that when you are making a documentary on the history of Rock music, you can get some Strat smashing feedback howling sounds for it without having to ruin your own precious axe.
There are sounds of the guitar being hit (with varying velocity) and dropped both unamplified, amplified, feedback howls, string twangs and general mangling of the instrument.Please note, there is no audience sound effect in this pack, this is only heard in the sample.
No (decent) guitars were harmed in the making of this pack.
Electromagnetic Design Vol. 2 contains a diverse collection of experimental ambiences gathered from a variety of sources around an Electrical Power Plant and a radio tower.

Our team then meticulously edited and designed these sounds, including a range of characteristics such as screaming interference, distorted glitches, sweeping electrical currents and much more to create an eclectic assortment of short ambiences. Perfect for building nerve racking intensity within your sound design in Sci-Fi, Horror or Dramatic film, game, or television projects. All files are available in 24bit 96kHz allowing further sonic manipulation, tagged with extensive metadata and are UCS compliant for ease of workflow.

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.
