Environments & Ambiences Command Center Vol 2 Play Track 35 sounds included $24.95

Fresh on the heels of our successful Command Center 1 sound-set, we have released another imaginative environment from our Star Cruiser Environments Anthology Collection… Orbital Emitter is proud to present, Command Center 2!! – a comprehensive sci-fi sound-set featuring a rich arsenal of futuristic environment sounds for use in any multimedia project!

And like the rest of our growing library, this environment sound-set can be customized to your liking allowing the creation of multiple environments -all from this one sound-set!
Is Command Center 2 worth purchasing if you’ve already bought Command Center 1? -We think so! Command Center 2 compliments its predecessor because it was designed to be different in direction and focus. While similar in name and type of environment, the two sound-sets are utterly different from one another while still existing in the same sonic universe. Listen to our demo and let your ears decide!

This sound-set is delivered industry ready at 24 bit/48kHz WAV and each sound file contains meta-data to make our sound files easy to organize & find. All of our sounds are 100% original, 100% royalty free, created in our sound-labs and designed to boldly explore the universe of sci-fi sound!

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!

Wayne Pashley

Supervising Sound Editor/Re-recording Mixer, The Lego Movie & Mad Max: Fury Road

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!

David Farmer

Sound designer:
Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit trilogies

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!

Charles Deenen

Director, Digital - Source Sound Inc.

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!

Zdravko Djordjevic

founder of The Audio Spotlight

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!

Bob Bronow, CAS, MPSE

Re-recording Mixer, Sound Designer: Deadliest Catch, Ax Men, The Wrecking Crew

A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.
