Presenting the most malfunctioning, dirty old gritty sounding engine failure library out there
Featuring a staggering 81 files with numerous takes in most tracks, the Kaput sound effects library will cover the bases of almost any broken false starting engine scene one can imagine.
I can honestly say, that finding the vehicles and tools for this library, has been among the most challenging I have come by. Old and broken cars and trucks are hard to come by these days. Most cars are obviously either driving and dont have start problems, and many of the rest just wont start at all.
Just as rare are broken petrol powered tools, which usually fit the latter category of not working at all.
Still, with amazing recording help from recordist Michal Fojcik Soundmind Poland, and just as amazing help from recordist Erik Watland from Norway, the Kaput sound effects library is featuring no less then
24 different cars, trucks, moped and motorcycles
1 boat engine
A few weird sounding power generators and water pump motors
Back firing exhausts
Petrol powered garden tools, chain saws, and hedge trimmers
Brutal construction machines
From old eastern european trucks, vintage US V8 muscle trucks, classic scandinavian cars, and more modern diesel and petrol engines to funny sputtering dying petrol power tools.
There is even a few more recording sessions planned, that just didn’t make the deadline for the first batch of sounds in this library (buying a copy of this first of sounds, will of course make any future sounds added to the library free of charge).
KAPUT is 81 stereo and mono files, 96/24. 1,6 gb big, all UCS ready!
Race Track Passes – Japanese Cars sound library features recordings of 50 different cars, racing on the race track. Microphones were set on the fast corner, right before some more complex section, which resulted in many recordings of cars accelerating, braking (often drifting) and passing by the whole rig. In addition there is also one stereo side perspective, on the more straight section of the track. This library features many automotive icons from Japan, like Nissan Silvia, Nissan Skyline R33, Mazda Miatas, Mazda RX8 with 2JZ engine, few Subaru WRX with cool blow off valves, some Lexus models, few Toyota cars and Honda, that includes S2000 which was mostly drifting, despite the fact, that it was time attack session.

The Farm is a sound library that I compiled about a year ago just for fun and I kept adding sounds recorded at the same location in the Canadian countryside at 4 different farms. During the recording session, I’ve been lucky enough to have met some fantastic people ready to share their passion for farming and pointing me out to what they felt was an essential part of their everyday soundscape.

Flysound goes go-karting!
We recorded a new library of action, with sporty go-karts rigged with 3 Neumann U87s apiece. We raced all around the track, which is located in a huge hangar. We recorded all the key sounds, from idling to high-speed zooming, the sound of petrol chugging, and the idiosyncrasies of the ground hugging one-man mini-monsters. And for sure the squeal of the tyres going around corners is there too – a unique pleasure sound.
The library, comprising 39 files and 2.07 GB from our 14 different takes, is arranged for usage in work of any complexity.
We have a bonus track for the library – the atmosphere of the huge empty hangar where the racing took place. We captured it in quadraphonic sound, using 4 Neumann U87s.

Anybody familiar with travelling on the London Underground will be aware of the distinct soundscapes beneath the streets of London; from the clatter of the ticket hall barriers to the eerie rumbles from the tunnels, waiting in anticipation for the next train to come rushing past before stopping with the squeal of the brakes.
Each type of train on the network has its own distinct characteristics such as the moaning of the electric traction motors or the peculiar sound of the 1996 Stock used on the Jubilee Line.
All of these sounds have been beautifully captured in 24-bit 48KHz quality- recorded both with XY stereo microphones and binaurally- creating a highly realistic experience for headphone users.

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.
