This audio library was recorded in the fortification complex “Fort Dönhoff’ of the citadel city of Königsberg, one of the fifteen main forts built in 1877-1881.

Also it will help you create an additional sound layer for any project that takes place in mansions, prisons and old houses.
This library contains:
-big, heavy gates;
-distant and close chains of different size;

This library features an industry standard roaster, a bean destoner, antique hand grinders, modern electro grinders, coffee makers, milk frothers, espresso machines, a french press, plenty of beans and much more. And with much more I mean lots of handling sounds & grabs from from lids, packaging, cups, spoons, sieves, pour of liquids and that kind of stuff.
Of course it serves all your barista needs, be it in the household or in a café. But in a addition it is a fantastic sound design tool to create all kind of machinery from steam punk to futuristic motors. It also is very valuable for musicians, with a fantastic selection of roasted & green espresso beans poured, shaken and dropped on various surfaces. From a single bean to thousands of beans. Makes great percussion sounds.
Most recording session have been in my studio, but I also visited a roasting plant, where I was able to record various machines across the stages of roasting and packing coffee.
Some extra recordings are pouring of coffee and milk or destroying an old caffee machine.
Mics used: Earthworks QTC50 (records up 90kHz, linear up to 50kHz), Neumann KMR81i, Schoeps MK41, DPA 4061, Brauner Phantom, Shure SM57, Contact, EMF, Lewitt 540s (very quiet for single beans dropping on the floor).
I had some projects that needed coffee maker sounds in the past. And while there is a fantastic library with antique grinders from “The Soundcatcher” and some libraries with a Espresso Machine or a Coffee Machine, I was missing one that combines all of these sounds up to dropping a sugar cube into the coffee. So i created it myself and here it is.
Get your gears grinding with 281 sounds by a metal sheet bending machine from the 1950s.
Made out of cast iron by Thyssen Krupp, this machine was used to bend i.a copper sheets to create rain gutters or other parts of drainage or heating systems.
The library is composed of two main elements, the outer cogwheel held by a hammer clutch to calibrate the rollers, and the inner cogwheel used to lower or raise a massive clamp to bend the metal sheet at a right angle.
The outer cogwheel creates snappy impacts, as the hummer clutch snaps into place, providing you with the base for your next lever or mechanism design.
The inner gear on the other side provides both calm and screeching grinding gears, as the heavy clamp is raised or lowered. Setting you up, for the next intricate mechanism design.
The cogwheels were recorded from two angles and the library contains both single files, as well as a joined file, per sound and stereo files for the outer cogwheel.
Resulting in a total of 984 wave files in 96kHz and 24 Bit.

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.
