  • Drones & Mood Sound Effects Resonance Play Track 25 sounds included, 25 mins total $15

    ‘Resonance’ by Badlands Sound features 25 resonating drone sounds perfect for your projects. This library puts a different twist on drones using reverbs and processing until the original sound resonates within a space or location creating these uncomfortable sounds.

    We believe ‘Resonance’ will greatly benefit sound editors and sound designers to create stylized tension filled moments and upsetting nerving scenes.

  • INDUSTRIAL TERROR – Hits & Transitions is a second installment of Industrial Terror series.
    It is a collection of dark, distorted, ear-piercing, industrial hits, impacts, crashes and transitions.
    IT Hits & Transitions is an expansion pack that focuses in single, sharp hits and transitions rather than evolving, textural impacts and whooshes (as heard in Industrial Terror).

    Collection consists of 145 carefully designed and rendered sound effects.

    Unique processing of organic field recordings combined with modular processing makes it both grounded in reality and creepy. This collection is a perfect choice for any kind of horror genre.

    RECORDED WITH: Sound Devices MixPre 6 + Senhheiser MKH8060 + DPA 4060
    CREATED AND EDITED WITH: Pro Tools, Live 10, Reaktor, EOS2, Discord4, Modular

  • Drones & Mood Sound Effects Cloud Piano Play Track 20 sounds included, 20 mins total $10

    This small, highly focused sound library features drones and textures created solely with sounds from a 1950’s Cable upright piano.

    These sound effects range from low, dark, and pulsating, to high and shimmering and could easily work in sci-fi, suspense, thrillers, or fantasy. While they can sound otherworldly, the sounds are actually quite organic. The sounds were made with looped and layered tone clusters and ambience recorded inside the piano – no granularization, synthesis, or additional processing like reverb were employed.

    They can be used alone or mixed with other sounds to great effect.

  • Bowed cymbals are one of those sound effects that just never get old.

    Perhaps it's the chilling sound of bow on bronze that puts us on the edge of our seat that we love so much. Or maybe it's the hauntingly beautiful tones that ring from a large ride cymbal with a large bow.

    Add some real bronze to your project today:

  • NDUSTRIAL TERROR – Textures is a third and the last installment of Industrial Terror series.
    It is a collection of dark, industrial textures, evolving metallic whooshes and textural hits.

    All soundscapes/textures loop seamlessly for quick and painless game audio integration.

    Unique processing of organic field recordings combined with modular processing makes it both grounded in reality and creepy.
    This collection is a perfect choice for any kind of horror genre.

  • Gore Sound Effects Pumpkin Gore Play Track 12+ sounds included, 6 mins total $5

    Our ​Gore library​ was​ ​recorded ​in ​the ​​weeks​ ​preceding ​Halloween ​2017. We decided ​to ​have​ ​some fun​ ​because​ ​we ​generally​ ​only​ ​have ​access​ ​to ​​pumpkins​ ​this​ ​time ​​of​ ​year​ ​and​ ​thought​ ​why​ ​not​ ​create something ​​fun​ ​for​ ​us,​ ​and ​​our​ ​friends​ ​and ​colleagues​ ​to ​use.

The ​2 ​​files​ ​are ​​mastered ​​the ​​same. Occasionally ​​the ​​levels​ ​vary​ ​on ​the ​MS track​ ​as​ ​these ​are ​the ​levels​ ​set ​to ​​keep ​the ​the tracks​ ​phase ​coherent. ​All tracks​ ​are ​​edited ​to ​be ​M&E ​​friendly, ​and ​monitored ​through ​a ​​phase ​scope to ​again, ​​keep ​the​ ​tracks​ ​phase ​coherent.

  • Door Sound Effects Squeaks & Creaks (MS) Play Track 313 sounds included, 19 minutes 29 seconds mins total $25

    The squeakiest of the squeaks and the creakiest of the creaks! Halloween came early!

    In this library you will find everything from deep, wrenching creaks to high piercing squeaks; quiet door knobs and twisting, turning plastics. Many of these sounds were recorded in a turn of the century old victorian home with decades of wear and tear to give the most authentic, creepy sounds that your heart desires.

    Here you'll find drippy, squeaky faucets, loose boards on stairwells, creaking door hinges, squealing old door coils, metal scraping on metal, rending wood and plastic, quiet, airy floorboards, bone crushing twist and turns, gripping leather and rubber and so much more! With 300+ sounds you're sure to maximize your imagination's spookiest or maybe just that perfect sound design element you needed!

    The sounds were recorded in stereo at 96 kHz 24 bit. The equipment used was a Sony PCM-M10 and the files were processed, edited, and mastered in Reaper.

  • This library features nearly 100 vocalizations from a recording session with a VO artist that has mastered the art of weird utterances and creature voices.

    You will find violent growls, grunts, sounds of pain, moans and groans, breaths, whispers, gargling, hisses, choking, growls and everything else you'd expect from a zombie, humanoid monster or demon.

    These sounds are also dry overall, with only minimal editing, and recorded at 96 kHz to allow you to continue to play around with them. The library features dual mono recordings with a set of two different microphones—one crispier and one warmer. If combined and panned, some create a stereo feel.

    Sounds are divided into 10 categories:

    Ambient/Breath • Choking • Gargle • Growls • Hiss • Moans • Panting • Snarl • Word / Phrase / Gibberish / Latin • Yell / Scream

  • KLAP Sound took a piano and tortured it, dismembered it and finally destroyed it—and recorded the whole process. For the making of this library, they used several tools such as hammers, screwdrivers, knives, and saws, as well as props like dirt, send, gravel, forks and other sharp objects. The results are raw sounds of foley with musical rings, harmonic tails and creepy vibes that are dry yet barely edited for your own enjoyment.

  • Drones & Mood Sound Effects Sonikscape Play Track 338 sounds included, 191 mins total $29

    SONIKSCAPE has been produced to create intense underscore, dark atmospheres and abstract textures.

    This collection comes packed with cinematic soundscapes, vocal atmospheres, textures out of processed flutes, ghost breaths and vocal effects, dark low oscillations and subsonic frequencies, bowed cymbals, psychological screech and more.

    Sonikscape is a collaboration between SampleTraxx and German sound designer Sebastian Emling who already collaborated on Cinematic Zither and Old Broken Piano.

  • This Double Bass & Violin sound effects library not only includes weird low double bass bow strokes, stabs, vibrating strings, drones, harsh harmonics, string scrapes, bow stroke voices, and bright violin tones and screams. It also includes the opportunity to open up a whole new set of sonic adventures.

    Why? All double bass sounds have been recorded at 192K/24 bit, with an amazing stereo set of close up Sanken CO100K microphones, and a stereo set of Sennheiser Mkh 8020 microphones, capturing low end and room. All violin sounds have been recorded with a single Sanken CO100K microphone.

    Common for all Sanken files is that you're able to either extreme time stretch/time compress, or pitch up and down the files, and by this discover a whole new world of sounds – without adding nasty degenerating artifacts or muffling the sound. The ultra-high frequency range of the Sanken microphones does really make a great difference!

    Recordings these sounds was a pure blast. The amount of versatile organic material in the set is great. The bass instrument has been played in a very innovative way, using both regular bow on strings and bass body, but also finger cymbals attached to specific places for a vibrating ring or rattle noise, creating some really other-worldly sound effects, and almost vocal-like patterns.

    While the double bass material produces a massive low end without any further processing, the violin recordings really benefit from being stretched and pitched. This makes all the non-audible bright sounds captured by the Sanken microphones come through.

  • Metal Sound Effects Metal Resonances Play Track 77+ sounds included, 83 mins total $50

    Metal Resonances is a pack full of resonating metal that was made resonant with contact from dry ice. This creates otherworldly metallic tones which we carefully recorded and crafted into this product.

    The pack contains everything needed to create all sorts of creaks and cranks and can be used to sound design everything from robots, bridges, hatches, hinges, cars, horror SFX, UI. There are also a very expressive trait to some of the sounds, and can probably be made into weird creatures and other unexpected things.

    The entire pack has unique descriptive meta data for each file to make it easy to navigate between the different sounds.

    The pack was captured in 96khz and 192khz and some sounds have two different perspectives to choose from. The 96khz version is usually from a close-up handheld perspective or in direct contact with the material, where 192kHz comes from carefully miced up static positions.

    Recorded with two Oktava MK 012 in spaced stereo configuration and a Sony PCM m-10
