  • SSL15 Metal Workshop Session is a full angle recordings from a metal workshop. All the machines in all the formats and angles. Choose between the close 416 mono mic, with the full power of the engine, or the far or medium surround format recorded 5/20 meters away.

    This way we managed to get all the sounds from the visit to the workshop!

    Another way to get this library:
    Also included in the Surround Sound LAB Complete Bundle, featuring 25+ SFX libraries at a huge discount.
  • The Burroughs Protectograph that we acquired was manufactured around the turn of the 20th century and had a single unique function – to stamp and emboss checks for banks. The Burroughs corporation has been around since 1886, and was an early force in the adding machine, check stamper and typewriter industries. This Protectograph version had an electric mechanism that would move large printheads down through a ribbon and would stamp a check hard and repeatedly for as long as the print key was held down. Our machine was acquired in perfect working condition.

    Its keys have a short through but a satisfying clack, and the punch mechanism is a huge whir stamp sound than can cycle if the punch button is held down. We rolled with the case both on and off, which revealed very different sounds from the main electric mechanisms.

    We ran the whole session with three perspectives miked up – front by the keys, in the back by the punch and a wide perspective perfect for bgfx placement. The front and back mics were Schoeps CMC6.MK4 and the wide mic was an AT 4050 in omni about 5 feet away. Listen to the straight examples give a clear accounting of the type of sounds we got from this machine, and the bent examples show what can really be done with those sounds and the Kontakt instrument.

  • Master Gun Mojave Desert Tails

    Master Gun Mojave Desert Tails was recorded in the Mojave Desert and includes nine different unsuppressed calibers and five suppressed calibers all captured from 6 different distances. These guns were recorded with the soul purpose of capturing the reverb tail produced by the gun with minimal or no mechanical sounds for easy implementation. (135 Files – 15.26GB)
    Recorded deep within in the rolling hills of the Mojave Desert free from human interference. The report of the guns of this location comes out to just a little over 6 seconds. All recordings are delivered at 192Khz 32bit float. We shot each gun 10+ times of which we selected and meticulously cleaned the best 8 shots to deliver. On our DMS Microphone which includes the Schoeps CMIT 5U, CCM 4, & CCM 8, we decoded it into 5.0, XY Front, XY Back, and a mono center.

  • The Master Gun SA 1911 Sound Effects library is recorded using a large array of various microphone configurations, we recorded shots from several distances in an open shooting range in the Nevada Desert.

    Raw Recordings

    Our raw shots features a total of 20 channels including 10 Stereo sources. All of our close and mid spaced pair Microphone options can be used as two independent mono microphones. The right side of every spaced pair will have more Mech than its left side counterpart.
    Every single gun has been recorded using the same gain settings on the same recorders, and we have level matched each microphone option between the same calibers so your 50ft microphones will be the same or similar across all libraries that share the same calibers. This makes mixing large amounts of weapons easier as the loudness and character of each gun is predictable.

    Our foley features a total of a stereo A/B pair of Neumann KMR81i mts which are placed on both the left and right of the gun. All of the foley has been recorded at 192kHz for extreme processing workflows.

    Designed Mixes

    Created from the ground up we’ve designed a collection of game-ready mixes for your next project. If you are creating your own custom weapons system and would like to use our designed mixes in your project, you can use our no-tail options which are our realistic designed mixes without our tail layers. Just drag, and drop.

    UCS compatible metadata embedded

    All files contain extensive metadata to provide you with the fastest and easiest workflow possible. Metadata can be read and processed by audio management tools. Some digital audio workstations feature an included search tool that can also read embedded metadata.

  • Mechanical Sound Effects Antique Engines Play Track 60+ sounds included, 84 mins total $35

    Introducing Antique Engines. In it, hear expressive examples of restored late 19th and early 20th-century stationary and moving engines. Some appear to hiss, spit and cough. Others puff and snort. Some just wheeze, gasping for air like their mechanical lives depend on it. My favorite pant like tired old dogs stretched out atop a Louisiana levee at the end of August. 

    I was able to record some engines from start up to shut down. Others were caught during the middle of their displays. Files with too much competing noise were discarded. 

    Each sound is captured at 96kHz/24bit with either a Sony PCM D100 recorder (and its built in microphones in XY) or Line Audio CM3 mics in ORTF using a Sound Devices 702 recorder or Sound Devices Mixpre-D/Sony PCM M10 combination. Also, there are 31 meticulously crafted seamless loops, in case your project calls for them.
