  • German engineering in its high performance.

    I would love to introduce you to the 2019 Porsche 911 Carrera S sound library for your sound editorial and designing purposes.

    The library comes in three dedicated sections: RPM Collection (incl. Idling), Drive-Bys (incl. Approaches and Drive offs) and Interior drive recordings.

    After lots of thought and planning, I managed to record, clean, and edit the recording for an extensive and easily accessible editorial experience to your production.

     

    The RPM Collection gives you a large range of multi-microphone proximate and one-meter distance recordings of the engine, as well as a broad variety of details of the exhauster. This masterpiece of engineering got recorded on a vehicle lift to gather sounds from unreachable angles, catching all the richness and details of the engine.

    With a large collection of Idling, Reverse, Steady RPMs, Revs, Accelerations and Decelerations, you will be able to use these sounds as a wonderful organic layer to your vehicle sound designs and edits.

     

    The Drive-bys, approaches, and drive-offs section can be essential to maximize the quality of your production! This package includes Mono sound source following and Stereo drives of the 2019 Porsche 911, with velocities starting at Walking Speed, 10km/h – 80km/h to Reverse.

     

    The Interior Drive series portraits the most beautiful driving experience with its unique comforting interior and design. I am thrilled to share with you the quadraphonic interior recordings of the front and rear of the car.

    Covering the sounds driving over cobblestone, uneven and normal roads (reverse drive included) at multiple speeds from Walking Speed to 160 km/h!

     

    Side note: The engine becomes nearly silent in times, which leaves us with just a beautiful interior rumble of the car driving over cobblestones.

    A Journey with Sound

  • UK Small Town Bundle contains five libraries with more than 124 sounds including ambiences, room tones, vehicles and unique sounds captured in northern England. With a total runtime of 328 mins and a file size of 10.68 GB, the libraries cover a variety of areas like canals, housing estates, shops, markets, traffic, parks, forests, industrial estates, interiors and much, much more.

    Our Audio Craftsmen traveled through beautiful and incredible locations around Greater Manchester, documenting the everyday life of a UK local, perfect for adding that natural charm to your films, games and tv series (particularly those based in Europe). Some sounds include people, with British accents speaking English, and some speaking other European languages, while many sounds do not contain people, which makes for a wide variety of uses for the effects.
    You will be saving almost 50% on the total cost of the individual libraries when purchasing this bundle, an excellent value for money addition to your general sound effects libraries.
    All files are provided dry in 96kHz 24Bit to allow for further manipulation. Furthermore, all the sounds in the library are extensively tagged with metadata and are UCS compliant making it easier to find the right sound you need.

  • Fiat 126 is a tiny car designed in the early 1970s to replace the classic Fiat 500. It was the most popular car in Poland from the late 1970s until the late 1990s. The idiosyncratic sound of its two cylinder, 0.65 Litre engine became an icon of the Polish everyday life. Fiat 126 was also common in Italy and Cuba.

    This library contains all basic sounds this car can make, like driving at various speeds on tarmac and dirt roads, pass-bys and parking. Then there’s foley sounds of all the switches, opening doors etc. Don’t miss the particularly rich sound of the cold start of the aged engine.

    The car we recorded was made in 1999. All its sounds are relevant for cars produced between 1994 and 2000. Earlier versions did not have the electronic starter and they wouldn’t beep when the choke was open. Cars made until about 1985 had a different dashboard so some of their switches would sound different (compare pictures for reference). The engine (and its sound) however was the same from the early 1970s until the end of production in 2000.

    109 stereo files, 18 mono files, all UCS compliant.

  • Foley Sound Effects Resistance Play Track 244 sounds included $16.40

    I would love to introduce you to sound library that is a little different:

    “Resistance” is a library that I’ve created while working on a Game Collaboration and an animation series – and it has been essential to my sound designs and editorial touches towards the final product in all productions. It has truly proven itself as being as a really helpful asset in a number of different circumstances, from characters growth and transformations to jumping elements in a cartoon style!

    This library contains 72 files – and every single one of them is provided with variations for an expanded use for your production. All sound elements were recorded under controlled conditions to ensure that all the details of the sounds were captured in a dry recording environment.

    All the content has been recorded with two kinds of microphones: RODE NT2A gave the sounds their low-mid detail; and a Sennheiser ME66, which is a shotgun microphone with a strong characteristic in the high mid frequencies.

    Let your designing imagination be the limit of your creation!

     

    FREE and incl.: With the Library Resistance you will receive the MINI Library Crackling Plastic. It comes with 27 Files whit 85 individual sounds.

  • A sound library of the digital electronic world of 1s and 0s created from digital sources.

    Sounds include glitch, static, snaps, pops, interference, signal malfunction, dropouts, data transmissions, unreferenced issues, bad clocking or incorrect timing effect and pitch/time manipulation.

     

  • This extension to the PassBy sound effects series brings you a truckload full of Sporty Cars Pass Bys. Recorded at “Nürburg Ring“, Germany.

    All sounds were cleaned and edited for direct use in your projects.
    These sounds come in handy not only for for the obvious purpose but also work great as design elements and as a great starting point to create a vast number of whooshes and other pass-by and motion effects.

    You will find 103 files with multiple cars passing by and 104 files with single car Pass Bys. The files are not named after specific cars/manufacturers.

  • Animal Sound Effects Street Dogs Play Track 1000+ sounds included, 72 mins total $50

    Street Dogs is a collection of field recordings from a sleeping city with a huge population of free-ranging dogs.

    Many of us have likely worked on nighttime scenes where the bark of a dog in an empty street adds just the right touch of depth, desolation, and a sense of space. A few well-known recordings of this type are commonly utilized, but Street Dogs offers a broad range of fresh, untapped tracks of stray dogs.

    Captured in nightly streets with natural acoustics, this collection features a variety of locations and perspectives, including both individual dogs and groups. Additionally, there are several chilling captures of dog fights that will make the hairs on your neck stand up.

    The recordings were made in AB stereo with a spaced pair of microphones, providing a wide stereo width that creates an expansive, vivid listening experience on speakers. This setup also allows for flexibility, enabling you to narrow the stereo width as needed, making the recordings perfect elements for crafting detailed and immersive ambiences.

    Every track has been thoroughly edited and tagged with metadata.

    Disclaimer: All recordings are genuine field captures; there was no interaction with the animals during the recording process. Any dog fights captured in the recordings were not initiated by the recordist.

    Capturing the detail of the subtle sound with zero background noise is an art in itself! For these recordings, we found that the best results were achieved using an LCR configuration. A tightly positioned Rode NTG3 shotgun mic for the centre was used, along with a pair of slightly pulled back Sennheiser MKH 8040s to provide a gentle stereo image. The environment we used was our “dead room”, completely silent and reverb-free for this type of recording (this neat little room approaches a mini anechoic chamber) Reliably transparent and highly recommended, a Sound Devices Mix-Pre-6 was used to capture the final recordings.
