Fireworks is a collection of small, consumer fireworks fountains with all the fizz, zip, zap, pop, and crackling that you would expect. There are also 2x 6-minute ambience tracks from 4th of July 2014 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, as people set off fireworks all around the city. You can hear fairly close, and very distant explosions from both municipal and residential displays. These two tracks were edited down from much longer recordings to remove any long pauses in the action. It was a beautifully quiet night, except for the fireworks!

“Prepared Turntable” is a sound object library recorded by Marc Hasselbalch.
Inspired by the sound artists who work with preparing and altering their instruments through the addition of external objects, this library is as much a useful pool of material for sound designers as it is a document of a sound object and the various nuances of circular, squeaking and screaming textures it produced.
The primary preparation was to have various metal springs run across the vinyl record and record this in various ways, such as with the turntable’s own (broken, humming and hissing) pickup and contact microphones. Small nudges to the position of the springs and objects would result in very different timbres. Some rich in resonant, nuanced textures, some rich in metallic screams and howls.
Other preparations done during recording: letting a credit card scrape freely across the record, attaching a contact microphone to the little comb from a discarded music box and letting that make contact with the record in various way – and more.
Each take is about 60 seconds long to allow for the small, irregular nuances to reveal themselves. Some recordings reveal a great amount of irregular movement while some recordings have the objects settle a very hypnotic state. Presented rather raw without any intrusive, designed alterations.
The recordings are offered in 96 kHz / 24 bit with UCS metadata.

Modern bread making environments sound industrial, both at a wholesale production facility that feeds the whole town, and at a small boutique bakery run by enthusiasts. Think large electrical appliances with fans and beeping control panels in reverberating rooms with tiled walls. Conversations (in Polish) usually stay in background.
Out of this emerges the edible matter itself – poured flour, dough splatting in mixer, and dozens loaves of fresh bread falling on decks, shelves, crates.
The library constists of ambiences, human movements, and close-ups on specific machines, including spiral mixers, dividers, sheeters, conveyors, provers, ovens. Six recordings are matched with pictures taken at the scene.

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.
