This library is the result of tinkering with shotgun mics recording inside of different tube structures. When our initial tests produced a wide range of sonic colors, we went all in.
The tubes used include organic and man-made materials, some rigid, some flexible, some dense, some light, all with varying lengths, diameters, and thicknesses. They consist of bamboo, PVC, 2 variations of vinyl, thin plastic, copper, tin, rubber, dense foam, and a steel-coiled membrane. Each material has a different effect on the sounds passing through them. We generated turbulent drones, thick strikes, resonant scrapes, noisy bells, delicate debris, and more. The overarching characteristics are soft, insulated, and misty. Due to the behavior of the waves in the open tubes and the pickup pattern of the shotgun mics, there is a natural frequency modulation that gives the sound a slightly narrowed, hollow timbre. They work very well in simulated settings, enclosed spaces, and when there is a need to exaggerate the magnitude of tiny worlds. But they are equally as useful as raw design fodder, especially when a unique texture is needed.
This is our first library created solely for the sake of experimentation, though based on the results, it may not be the last!
The Creaking Wooden Doors audio library contains 15 eerie creaking wood sounds, perfect for creating tension and suspense.
Ultrasonic Insects Volume 3 contains dozens of insect songs recorded with a sonic microscope: the Sanken CO-100K. For this library, more than 3 500 kilometers were traveled to get to beautiful french sites in French Alps, Pyrenees Mountains and Massif Central.

An extensive amount of onboards, driving at very slow paces with both steady and varying speeds, city driving, higher speeds, various accelerations and decelerations at various paces. The library offers over 12GB of sound in total.
All of the takes have labelled ISO tracks and a mix for each take for your convenience. Sounds captured at 24bit/96khz and have embedded UCS-compliant metadata. Enjoy.
Analog Interface is a powerful and diverse custom UI sound effects library made by recording, performing and manipulating outboard analog subtractive synthesizers and physical hardware. Hand crafted synthesis performances recorded at 96khz provide a rich pallet of sonic elements which are then designed further into complex, expressive and wildly useful sounds for sci-fi sound design, UI, motion graphic sound design, heads up display, text on screen and beyond. This library covers everything from the cleanest and simple UI selects to the grittiest of glitchy textures of sci-fi telemetry.

The elements are raw yet curated analog performances and textures that provide an endless sonic playground of building blocks for sound designers to craft into original manifestations. By design the instruments selected for this library project were mono subtractive synths of old and new to perform and collect patches in rich and simple states. Each synth selected provide their own aesthetic and character that culminate into a one of a kind sonic signature. The use of purely analog synthesis creates unique sounds that cannot be replicated exactly the same way twice. The slight variations in the components and the environment used can affect the produced sonic character, creating an intangible magic impossible to achieve with software alone. Complimenting the synths are collections of custom EMF recordings, servos and mechanical switches, breaking the third wall from within the machine to the physical world.
The designed sounds are the combined works of four career sound designers at Dallas Audio Post. The analog elements were layered, morphed, programmed and re-contextualized in both meticulous hand crafted methods and complex parameter randomization processes. The combined results are a collection of beautiful, compelling and engaging sounds that we believe are extremely needed in the modern sound design ecosphere.
Complimenting the vast UI collection are analog transitions designed for use of motion, doppler effects and signify a sample of future libraries in the making.
The end result is a sound effects library that’s not only incredibly versatile but also highly creative.
Enjoy!
The EXPLNR sounds series is a collection of sfx libraries designed and produced with the classic 2d animated explainer video in mind.
These sounds will give quick and useful coverage to the common moves used in this style. Vol 2 is a custom paper and mechanical transition library – filled with pleasant clicks and sides designed to push all of your graphics along neatly and cleanly – all custom designed with the playfulness and clean edges required to match the explainer video style. To help cover repetitive visual movements, multiple iterations of each sound are included.
A selection of designed sounds will quickly cover more complex movements. The next time you have an explainer video in the house, you know how your transitions will sound.
This sound library includes the sound of hammer impacts, mallet hits on an anvil, many foleys such as pick and drop clamps, hammer on an anvil, and stand. In addition, it consists of water sizzle, working bellows (load, no-load, fire, no fire), and horseshoe clanks.
A recording session was in a native Ukrainian village in the smithy.
All files have a natural reverb effect with a short tail, so I decided not to touch it for a more natural-sounding.
I used two Oktava MK 012 mics and Shure FP33 Stereo Mixer for boosting with analog limiters.
This Library is a Collaboration Between Rz Post and Miguel Ramirez Sound where they recorded a series of antique chests, trunks, and cameras found in Grandpa basement. The sounds that you will find in this library are unique and rare. The things recorded are so old that it would be difficult to find similar sounds.
The main sounds that you will find in this library are old wood squeaks, creaks, hits, slides, and metallic details. There are 47 sounds that you could use in many ways!
Thank you for your support. We will keep bringing sounds alive.
Have a great day

Recorded using Neumann KMR 81i and Sound Devices field recorder. Very lightly mastered using Izotope RX8 Advanced.
This library features recordings of sounds that were dubbed to 25 year old cassette tapes and then played back using a unique cassette manipulation device. The cassette tape reels are controlled manually by hand via a turning knob, allowing for speeding up/slowing down the pitch and speed while also controlling the rhythm, much like scratching vinyl. The existing sounds recorded to tape combined with the wow and flutter of the worn out tape, and manual speed playback create unique new sounds, including glitched tones, gritty blips, scratching, and percussive hits.
With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.
A Sound Effect is an excellent resource for us to keep our animated films sounding unique and exciting.

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.
