Door Sound Effects Resonant Rusty Door Play Track 100+ sounds included $20

Recorded at an old WWII-era bunker just outside Halifax, Nova Scotia, now derelict and covered in rust.

These recordings were a happy accident, discovered on the way to record something else. This large, heavy steel door has been rusting since wartime, and when I noticed it I immediately knew it would have a unique sonic character. When moved, it produces interesting almost musical tones, rich with harmonics and ripe for processing.

This library includes a variety of sounds generated by interacting with the door in different ways (scraping, punching, and moving at various speeds).

Info:
• Recorded in mid-side with a Schoeps Mini CMIT and CMC6MK8 into a Sound Devices 633.
• All sounds are decoded to LR stereo, normalized and processed minimally beyond noise reduction.
• Files are tagged with meta-data in Basehead and stamped in iXML, bext and ID3 formats.

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!
