David is currently expanding the list with new ideas, and he needs your help:

If you’ve got ideas or techniques for creating certain sounds, please share them below.

    • Khron Studio - Forged In Fury Vol 2

      Forged in Fury Vol. 2 – Modular Weapon Sound Design Kit

      Forged in Fury Vol. 2 continues the philosophy of providing fully modular sounds, allowing you to design and customize your weapon audio exactly as you need. Each element is carefully edited and organized into categories such as whooshes, retractions, impacts, blood, and more, giving you total control to adapt and layer sounds to your project.

      This volume includes 586 individual sounds at 192 kHz / 24-bit quality, ready to use as-is or to combine and shape into something entirely new.

      🎧 Featured Content:

      – Greatsword (123 sounds)
      Heavy metallic textures with more weight, blood, and impact than a standard sword.

      – Iron Staff (74 sounds)
      Inspired by the legendary staffs of Shaolin monks, offering solid strikes and metallic resonances

      – Karambit Knife (252 sounds)
      Fast, sharp, and deadly. Featuring rapid spins, swift cuts, and an ever-present sense of danger.

      – Nunchakus (137 sounds)
      Dynamic and versatile, infused with the spirit of classic martial arts films. Includes wooden hits, chain rattles, and fast whooshes.

      🔑 Key Feature:
      As in the first volume, each sound is delivered in editable layers (e.g., whoosh + impact + blood). Want a greatsword strike without blood? Just combine whoosh + hit and you’re set. You can even swap layers across different weapons to create entirely new variations.

      🎚️ Studio-Grade Quality:
      Recorded at 192 kHz / 24-32 bits and delivered at 192 kHz / 24 bits, ensuring outstanding fidelity. Perfect for pitching, distortion, and heavy processing without losing clarity.
