Blazej Kanclerz is a sound recordist based in Warsaw, Poland. Specialized in recording soundscapes for film purposes (but not only!).
As a sound mixer on filmsets he gets possibilities (and desire) to record interesting, useful and sometimes really “hard to get” atmospheres, ambiences and sounds in general.
“Nazare, Portugal. Big Waves spot” includes 9 stereo files (WAV, 96 kHz, 24 bit) of total length: 33m52s. All files were carefully edited and described with UCS metadata.
Recorded with Zoom H6 with internal mid-side capsule during three “big waves” days of January 2020.
What you can expect to hear is general loud ocean roar with strong wind, large waves breaking at the cliff rocks and much calmer morning recordings on the beach with long breaking waves and sea birds. Perfect as ambience for seaside scenes.
“Nazare, Portugal. Big Waves spot.” is 9 stereo files, 96/24. 1,08 GB big, all UCS ready!

“Rain & Thunder Residential Balcony” (RTRB in short) includes 21 stereo files (WAV, 96 kHz, 24 bit) of total length: 1h 48m 58s. All files were carefully edited and discribed with UCS metadata.
Recorded with Zoom H6 with internal mid-side capsule during few stormy days of June 2020 in the beginning of covid pandemic (hence there’s almost no traffic background!).
The idea was to place the mic on the balcony in the residential, suburban area of Warsaw, Poland, in the best, exact same spot each time, so the recordings can be edited seamlessly together. Library contains rain in every phase from begining, through light, medium and heavy to the ending and afterwards. That gives the editor the opportunity to navigate with rain intensity throughout the scene and even create the storm from pieces.
Different storm stages can work really well also for the computer game implementation.
There are lots of distant thunder rumbles but also few really close, sharp and scary thunder strikes.
RTRB is 21 stereo files, 96/24. 3,5 GB big, all UCS ready!
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.
