Street Dogs is a collection of field recordings from a sleeping city with a huge population of free-ranging dogs.
Many of us have likely worked on nighttime scenes where the bark of a dog in an empty street adds just the right touch of depth, desolation, and a sense of space. A few well-known recordings of this type are commonly utilized, but Street Dogs offers a broad range of fresh, untapped tracks of stray dogs.
Captured in nightly streets with natural acoustics, this collection features a variety of locations and perspectives, including both individual dogs and groups. Additionally, there are several chilling captures of dog fights that will make the hairs on your neck stand up.
The recordings were made in AB stereo with a spaced pair of microphones, providing a wide stereo width that creates an expansive, vivid listening experience on speakers. This setup also allows for flexibility, enabling you to narrow the stereo width as needed, making the recordings perfect elements for crafting detailed and immersive ambiences.
Every track has been thoroughly edited and tagged with metadata.
Disclaimer: All recordings are genuine field captures; there was no interaction with the animals during the recording process. Any dog fights captured in the recordings were not initiated by the recordist.

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.
