Electromagnetic Design Vol. 3
This sound library contains 546 files with 273+ unique sounds of impact, breaks and debris of ceramics, glass and various metal objects. All sounds are recorded at 24 bit / 96 kHz using 2 microphones, the Diety S-Mic 2 and the Sennheiser MKE 600. All sounds are named acording to the metadata standard “UCS”.
Cymbals From Hell is the seminal collection of bowed metal sound effects, crafted from recordings of both natural and broken cymbals. Bringing you the nastiest, gnarliest, and harshest set of design elements and raw recordings. Their dynamic range provides a palette that evolves and adapts over time.
All of the sounds have been recorded in a controlled studio environment and played by a professional percussionist, with the intention of providing the most dynamic range and disturbing playing style. Our Audio Craftsmen then meticulously designed and edited every included sound from the bizarre to the downright horrifying.
Cymbals From Hell contains a total of 197 files running at a huge 8.9GB. This library gives you everything you need to create compelling Horror and Sci-Fi soundscapes and add accents to your music, ideal for use in a wide range of projects. All sounds have been recorded in 24bit 96khz for further manipulation, and have been carefully edited so that you can easily drop them into your project timeline and get working right away.
Here are the included folders:
Bowed Cymbals: Harsh and dynamic bowed cymbals, perfect for musical or sound effects accenting.
Time Bending Risers: Sharp risers that have a feeling of movement in time.
Pulsating Dread Pads: The perfect Horror backdrops, built from organic elements.
Mind Bender Stingers: Warped cymbal effects that are equally at home in a Sci-Fi or Horror tracklay.
Metallic Oscillation Pads: The direct opposite of a Meditation Bowl, these sounds oscillate and move in an unnerving way.
Head Shaker Drones: Grit your teeth and cover your ears, these sounds warn of impending doom.
Gut Rumbler Subs: How low can we go? Very low. These sounds sit nicely under your tracklay and provide some serious sub frequencies.
Disturbing Risers: Distorted and mangled, these cymbals are bound to accent any jump scare with a dose of disturbing!
Bowed Alien Metals: Otherwordly vibes fused with a classic staple Horror sound.
Resonant metal impacts with movement. There is both microphone movement and swinging metal movement. In addition there are AMBISONICS recordings of the same. Great big pieces of metal being hit to produce resonant tones that then are moved in relation to the microphones. Lots of swinging metal and ringing effects. Also some great objects that resonate almost musically. Perfect for magical weapon movement.
The Sonomar Collection: Blacksmith sound effects library features 155 recordings from a blacksmith’s workshop that are sure to strengthen your scenes with an authentic, ironclad edge. Use the pristine sounds of metal clanks, sizzles, and scrapes as building blocks for creative sound design or as a backdrop for industrial or medieval settings.
Ringing clanks of hammers striking anvils. Sharp sizzles of hot iron submerged in water. Subtle scrapes of shoveling metal files and coal. This collection is sure to supply your project with the detailed, high-quality smithing sounds you require. With a sample rate of 96kHz, utilize this diverse selection of impacts and hisses for creative pitching and processing. In addition to isolated actions, Blacksmith contains a number of Ambience recordings that can be used to add a hardy backdrop to your scenes for period pieces and beyond. This library was recorded using three different microphones, including the Sennheiser MKH 8040, which records up to 50kHz and allows for more sound design options.

A GMC cable tool Sterdrill Keystone USA (1953) – I found one rusting away in a fjord in Iceland and attached a LOM Geofon and Stille and Klang contact microphones.
The results were varying textured breezes moving long grass and decaying loose metal to create rustling, scratching sounds, resonant knocks and also insect and gnawing rodent like sounds.

Beautiful Bells Vol 1 contains the solo ringing of 76 swinging bells, recorded in 43 churches, cathedrals, abbeys, basilicas and chapels across France, and 15 peals of multiple bells, called plenum, with unprecedented quality. Most of the sounds were recorded inside bell towers.
Swinging bells are struck by a hanging clapper. They have a natural pitch modulation due to the Doppler effect, and a timbre modulation due to varying orientation. They produce a deep and lively sound and are mostly used to announce masses, religious holidays, weddings and funerals.
Every bell size is represented in this library, from huge bourdons (bells whose pitch are below C3) weighing several tons to small chapel bells weighing around 20 kilograms. You will find bells founded from 16th to 21st century with a great variety of timbres and tunings. The sounds are sorted by note, from D2 to F5.
By sorting the solo sounds by location, you can recreate authentic bell combinations. You also have the freedom to create any custom combination or use the sounds as instruments in musical scores.
All the sounds in this library were recorded in bell towers or as close as possible to provide great sonic precision and optimal signal-to-noise ratio.
Over 12,000 kilometers were traveled during six months to get you one of the most exhaustive swinging bell sound library ever recorded.

Wind and Metal explores the awesome ways metal responds sonically under the influence of wind. Large objects like wind turbines, windmills, a geodesic dome, an overhead power line transmission tower, a fire tower, flag poles and a giant crucifix, were recorded under varying wind speeds from airy breezes to howling gusts. Each structure produces resonant tones unique to its design, location and weather affecting it. There’s the sound of wire fences too.
Here you’ll find haunting, eerie low-end drones plus piercing and painful high-end squeaks. There’s animalistic groaning and scraping. Some serious banging and thumping. Plus rattles and rumbles, deep impacts and rhythmic whooshes.
Create something soothing, eerie, impactful or in between by inserting Wind and Metal into your next project.

Scraped Cymbal is a collection of 78 sounds, pristinely recorded, edited and mastered as 96k/24bit stereo wave files. This companion to the Bowed Cymbal series gives you more options for your stinger attacks. David took the old, slightly cracked crash cymbal, and literally cut into it with tin snips (picture below). He then took pliers, bent up some of the cut parts, and began experimenting with scraping various parts of the cymbal and adjusting the microphone position. The tonalities produced are almost nauseating! Deep rumbling lows, shimmery atonal highs, gut-wrenching mids – it’s a sound designer’s dream!
An unusual collection of sounds with an unusual story.
The Story
I was working in an older mix room, originally designed for tape machines and lots of outboard gear. 5 large racks worth of outboard gear right behind the mix position. Over the years most of the outboard gear was removed and eventually replaced with blank metal spacer panels. While I was mixing I kept hearing odd resonances and ringing sounds in my mix. Eventually I figured out that some of the panels were being excited by sounds in my mix. After the session ended I started tapping on the panels to see which ones were the culprits. I soon discovered that it sounded interesting so I grabbed some mics out of the studio and started recording the results. First by tapping the plates with my finger, then with a wooden drumstick, and then with a homemade rubber mallet. I also used the rubber mallet as a friction mallet getting a cool groan sound.
The Sounds
A collection of interesting metal hits with lots of harmonic content using three different striking methods with different kinds of attacks. I found that there were 6 panels that had unique sound qualities when struck. These are ideal for making cinematic hits and sweeteners, and bell like sounds. Also there are a number of interesting metal groans made by using the homemade friction mallet. These work for metal groans and creaks but are also evocative of animal or creature sounds. Recorded at 192k/24bit. These sounds are made to be pitched down to find their true potential.

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.
