SOUNDS FOR MALFUNCTIONS AND FAILED TRANSMISSIONS
GLITCHES is made to be your “go-to sound pack” for all kinds of frame drops, transmission breaks, user interfaces or science fiction projects. A big collection of hi-tech single glitches featuring various complex pre-designed glitches brings the best glitch sounds into your studio. Build your own custom glitches by layering and processing single sounds or take profit from the pre-designed sounds when doing sound design on the fly. These hi-tech glitches are a must-have for any creative looking to expand their sonic repertoire!
A UNIQUE SCI-FI CONSTRUCTION KIT
All sounds were designed from a variety of analog and digital source materials like semi-modular synthesizers, feedback loops, recorded TVs, various analog noises and broken hardware pieces. We then processed the sounds with distortion/saturation, granular and delay effects and out came a great toolbox for all situations where you need glitch sounds.
Glitch Grains is the ultimate library for screen tearing glitches, erroneous malfunctions, and spasmodic system failures.
Its the Phreaking best!
We created the library using a variety of unconventional sources and techniques: No input Mixing Board, Gameboy LSDJ tracker, Raw Data, Theremin, Radio Statics, Drum Machine Sample Retriggering, Noisy Oscillators, Mic Overloads, Simulated Hacked Telephone and Electromagnetic Interference.
Includes over 200 Designed Glitches and 1600+ source files.
Gravity volume 2 is the second installment in the Gravity series and consists of impact and drag effects for 9 different materials. Again we set aim to record realistic sounds, minimally compressed and useful as base for physics simulation or foley.
You’ll find some weird sounds and textures in here suitable for many other uses as well. How about squealing styrofoam drags, a 10 meter PVC pipe, or walnuts suitable for skull and bone simulation!
All sounds have been edited to single takes per file, grouped per material in their own folders. In addition to a basic description in their filenames, each individual file has more elaborate META tags included. This gives you quick access to the sounds you need without losing that creative flow.
For scrapes and drags, we recorded long and medium takes which can be used for the construction of loops.
I would love to introduce you to sound library that is a little different:
“Resistance” is a library that I’ve created while working on a Game Collaboration and an animation series – and it has been essential to my sound designs and editorial touches towards the final product in all productions. It has truly proven itself as being as a really helpful asset in a number of different circumstances, from characters growth and transformations to jumping elements in a cartoon style!
This library contains 72 files – and every single one of them is provided with variations for an expanded use for your production. All sound elements were recorded under controlled conditions to ensure that all the details of the sounds were captured in a dry recording environment.
All the content has been recorded with two kinds of microphones: RODE NT2A gave the sounds their low-mid detail; and a Sennheiser ME66, which is a shotgun microphone with a strong characteristic in the high mid frequencies.
Let your designing imagination be the limit of your creation!
FREE and incl.: With the Library Resistance you will receive the MINI Library Crackling Plastic. It comes with 27 Files whit 85 individual sounds.
A sound library of the digital electronic world of 1s and 0s created from digital sources.

With THE GLITCH 2 sound library Sound Response brings you the second installment of totally twisted, mangled, glitchy, twitchy sonic madness! Great for sound experimentation and exploration these glitch sound effects often turn out to be an effective source of inspiration in music production and sound design, especially in music genres like electro, dubstep, EDM, IDM, drum’n’bass, glitch hop, industrial, hardcore, and other electronic and experimental music styles!
They’re also very useful as a sound design tool for video games, movies, trailers, and other cinematic projects, where you can either use them as they are, or you can unlock their full potential by combining and layering them for creation of all sorts of futuristic sci-fi and hi-tech sounds, mechanisms, robot sound effects, and other sci-fi sound effects!

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.
