SFX compilations with a wide range of different sounds
Vehicle Essentials compiles detailed foley and evolving ambisonic takes from three different cars, aimed at giving sound editors and designers alike versatility aplenty to build realistic soundscapes for videogames, movies, TV shows and other media formats.
Each foley audio file is packed with one-shot mono sound effects taken from every component present in the cars themselves, ranging from dashboard buttons, seat adjustment levers, A/C, insertion and removal of car keys, handbrakes, pedals, doors opening and closing with both interior and exterior perspectives, amongst many other detailed and varied takes, carefully recorded, edited and cleaned.
The ambisonic sound files contain long takes of each vehicle driving around or parked revving different RPMs, perfect to edit and loop each speed or idle moment to a certain scene. Given the nature of ambisonics, you can easily convert these B Format files onto any desired format (like regular stereo, 5.1 or 7.1 surround) with the correct plug-in, like RØDE’s own SoundField, which happens to be free to download. These are raw recordings where little to no hum or hiss removal techniques were applied.
With over 1500 individual sounds inside Vehicle Essentials, you’re guaranteed to find the right speed for your intended destination.

Ice features 47 cinematic ice sound effects, designed field recordings and evolving textures, that combine the natural sounds of ice with otherworldly and experimental digital post-processing. The sounds range from heavily designed to basic elements.
User reviews:
“‘Designed Ice’ is an experimental library based on our favorite frozen liquid. These sounds of ice have been mangled and distorted beyond recognition to give their ‘essence’ through textures and moods for otherworldly experiences. These sounds crackle, tear, shatter, evolve, excite, glitch, and emote, imitating both living things like aliens and insects and instruments such as bells and horns. These sounds are designed to be used straight out of the box; however, don’t think they won’t inspire you to play with their 96kHz sample rate—or see what new effects you can achieve in your own recordings! If you are looking for an experimental or design inspiration, give this library a listen.” – A Sound Effect

With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.
A Sound Effect is an excellent resource for us to keep our animated films sounding unique and exciting.
A Sound Effect is a great asset to have discovered.
We found the site very easy to navigate, purchasing and downloads were effortless and the effects themselves are awesome! Asbjoern has done us all a great service.
We’ll definitely be back!
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.
