Mechanical Sound Effects

  • This library is all about the small insignificant sounds that occur everyday in any small office along with some very special sounds made from those items. All sounds are recorded cleanly with many variations to choose from and named meticulously. They´ve also been noise treated and edited carefully to make the use a seamless experience.
    Since a lot of the sounds very recorded very closely, they open up new possibilities to sound designer. Some of the sounds could easily be used for weapon or impact and other kinds of sound design.

    Some of the categories used in this library are: paperclips, hole punchers, staplers, fax-machine, printers, shredders, lots and lots of paper variations, drawers, file cabinets, ringbinders, post-its, books, keyboards and more.

  • With the popularity of mirrorless cameras, the days of the Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera are ending. Which means future cameras will make no sound at all, other than synthesized recordings. To honor these old cameras, we went out and purchased old dead stock flash bulbs from the 1950s-1980s. Flash cubes, AG1s, M2s, Photoflashes and more. These bulbs usually would fire with a 1-3 volt charge from a camera, but we went a little crazy and hooked them up to 120 volts instead! (DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME… we almost started a fire!!). This made them really pop and sizzle. Hollywood Cameras features 125 HD 24bit/96khz Sound Effects with a large selection of beefy designed vintage camera shutter clicks, and raw source camera bulb recordings. All recorded from vintage flash bulbs and cartridges. Mastered in Stereo with Pro Tools Ultimate. From veteran Hollywood Sound Designer Lenny Jones. A perfect addition to any sound effects library.

  • Well, the name of this sound effects library speaks for itself.
    Of course, it’s a tragical but also action packed story of a bunch of heavy, shiny balls who went out to take vengeance upon a group of scraggy, scallywags and their leader Kingpin – for some reason. The plan was as simple as genius: rounding up, pin down and strike hard, that pale, red-scarfed scum in a blind alley. But there was one thing they hadn’t reckoned with: Regardless how brutal and how many times the enemies were struck to the ground, some kind of cursed, evil machinery re-arranged each and every one of them in rank and file.

    Long story short…
    You get a comprehensive and versatile collection of 10-Pin and 9-Pin (Skittles) Bowling Sound Effects. All recorded at “Bowling Arena“ in Stuttgart, Germany. Of course without any public business. Additionally you’ll get several close up recordings from behind the curtain of the machinery that re-racks the pins. Including seamless mechanical loops, full re-rack cycles from different perspectives and of course lots of bowling ball pass bys, pin hits and some gutterballs.

    Each sound was thoroughly edited and cleaned for direct use in any kind of audiovisual project.
    Clear naming and embedded BWF- and Soundminer Metadata grants clarity as well as fast and reliable search results.

  • Mechanical Sound Effects The Moviola Play Track 130 sounds included, 77 mins total $20

    Get your ears around a genuine piece of film history! Introducing the Moviola UD 20 CS Film Editing machine. Countless films have been made on these iconic upright film editors including work by Kubrick and Spielberg. 

    We found this beast lurking in a hallway at Pinewood Studios and were shocked when she fired up. So we did the honourable thing…..miked her up and clicked, flicked and revved our way to making this library. 

    We ran the Moviola both with and without film performing starts, stops, wind ups, wind downs and even some pedal revs.

    With a Neumann M/S setup under the belly, a Sanken CO-100K overhead and an MKH60 tight in on the mechanisms we have this covered from all angles. We also provide a beautiful mix track for when you just want to lay great stuff quickly.

    Shot at 24Bit/192kHz the Sanken allows for extreme pitching and twisting, making this library the perfect set of ingredients for designing cool new mech. So if you’re tinkering with a clumsy robot or just want to lay a projector this library will get you there.

    All 3 onboard mics are edited in sync with one another to make layering easy.
    All Passbys, Arrivals and Departures move from Left to Right.

    Metadata & Markers:
    Because we know how important metadata is for your sound libraries we have created a consistent and intuitive description method. This allows you to find the sound you need easily, whether you work in a database like Soundminer/Basehead/PT Workspace work, or a Exporer/Finder window.

    However, we are aware that some people have different needs for different purposes, so we’ve created a Metadata Reference Guide that explains the structure. And because we’ve automated the metadata proces, you can be confident that a ‘find & replace’ command will always replace all instances.

  • Mechanical Sound Effects Meridian Play Track 86 sounds included, 200 mins total $23

    Inspired by the ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) community, this collection includes 43 mono/stereo pairs of whispers, scratches, taps, rubs, breathing, buzzing, and more. The general goal of ASMR is to induce a bodily response from the auditory stimuli, much like a shiver, chill, or euphoric wave. From an auditory perspective, this is usually approached by using delicate, intimate sounds in a repetitive manner; known as ‘triggers’.

    The files are all loopable, averaging ~2’20” in length, so you can leave them on repeat for a continuous ASMR experience. This also allows a sound designer to drop them into any environment where they need an indiscernible loop. The mono+stereo pairing allows for creating the appropriate stereo spread (or eliminating it all together) that a particular event requires. For some of the more common triggers, we provided a few variations.

    Definitely intending to be a unique addition to your sonic anthology, this library will provide you with hours of evocative ear candy.
