Home Sound Effects Flexible Pass-by 192KHz
$29
This library is built as a sound designer tool set for creating pass-by, drive-by, fly-by or even creature sounds, including 347 files with a 192KHz sample-rate, recorded with the Sanken CO-100K combined with Nevaton MC59 mics to deliver full spectrum content. You can shape and twist these files to fit your needs without losing quality. No synths or real engines were used, only acoustic foley recordings providing a natural doppler effect for life-like filtering.
You can have high screeching sounds to deep rolling boomy engines, scraping gritty whooshes to airy sci-fi sounds.
Needless to say that these pass-by sounds can be the basis of your own sounds and sweeteners, be it vehicles or creatures, cartoon or cinema trailer…
All files are UCS compliant, include Metatags, and are bundled together in small groups that could sonically identify a virtual vehicle, each having multiple variations.
As these are clean raw recordings, no effects have been applied that might limit the use. The focus is on flexibility and varied use.
Useful Sound Effects focuses on the practical side of sound effects. That means that themes are oriented towards use in documentary, film, game or any other supplemental medium. This approach is a result of experiencing the need for sounds and the difficulty of finding adequate results that are up to expectations of users or clients.
There is a subjective but very interesting line between what you want to hear, what you expect to hear, and what you actually hear. Often sounds are illustrative for something that happens on a screen and the viewer needs to be guided by that sound. It is a psychological element that drives our senses and emotions. So indeed, sound can manipulate the viewer into a certain direction, chosen by the director.
So the focus is on the USE of sound, that is were the name came from USE > Useful Sound Effects.
The USE libraries are made with acoustic recordings, field recordings, synthesis, hybrid mixing, low noise omni microphones, silent cardioid microphones, contact microphones, ultrasound microphone (Sanken CO-100K), Zoom and Sound Devices recorders, a custom binaural head, edited and mixed in Reaper, including Native Instruments Komplete 12 ultimate, Izotope Ozone 9, RX etc.
With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.
A Sound Effect is an excellent resource for us to keep our animated films sounding unique and exciting.
A Sound Effect is a great asset to have discovered.

We’ll definitely be back!
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.
