With the popularity of mirrorless cameras, the days of the Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera are ending. Which means future cameras will make no sound at all, other than synthesized recordings. To honor these old cameras, we went out and purchased old dead stock flash bulbs from the 1950s-1980s. Flash cubes, AG1s, M2s, Photoflashes and more. These bulbs usually would fire with a 1-3 volt charge from a camera, but we went a little crazy and hooked them up to 120 volts instead! (DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME… we almost started a fire!!). This made them really pop and sizzle. Hollywood Cameras features 125 HD 24bit/96khz Sound Effects with a large selection of beefy designed vintage camera shutter clicks, and raw source camera bulb recordings. All recorded from vintage flash bulbs and cartridges. Mastered in Stereo with Pro Tools Ultimate. From veteran Hollywood Sound Designer Lenny Jones. A perfect addition to any sound effects library.

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 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!
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.
