Crunch: Destruction & Demolition
This UCS compliant album was recorded in Toronto, Canada on a cold December day in 2020. I waited for months for this 2 story building to be demolished and finally the day came. I was able to get within 20 meters of all of the demo, and most of the wall collapses happened within 6 meters of me. The album contains sounds of an entire store being ripped down by an excavator with a claw attachment, including the roof being torn away, walls collapsing, massive piles of debris being dragged across concrete and tons of building debris.
Although this album was recorded in the city, it was freezing out and the middle of a massive parking lot, so far from traffic, and no birds, insects or otherwise loud activity. I was able to point my Sanken CS3e at the entire 4.5 hour process. The cover photo is a pic I snapped, and I’ve posted a few more and a video on our blog.

We used a Sanken CS3-e shotgun mic for reach and Ambient ATE-208 (2nd Version) for ambient reflections, and the Tascam DR100-mkiii stereo recorder.
These ambiences were mastered in Protools HD to maintain healthy levels and check for phase discrepancies. They were recorded and mastered as 24Bits 96kHz sample rate.
The provided files LR and MS correspond with the encoded and decoded format of Mid/Side.
LR = Decoded
M/S = Encoded (raw files)
All files strictly follow the UCS guidelines, CatID is stored in the ShortID field, and all metadata fields are searchable via iXML, BEXT, and ID3v2.
These recording were originally a 4.5 hour recording that had been painstakingly edited and mastered down to just over 1 hour of the best content. All M&E friendly.

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.
