> My name is André Ferreira and I’m a Portuguese sound director and boom operator with extensive experience in sound capturing and directing in feature films, short films, ads and music videos.
> I also work in post-production where I do the editing, mixing and mastering.
> I’m a fan of recording environmental sounds and Foley ending up using them in most of my post-production works having as the main goal the creation of my own sound library.
> I started creating sound libraries at the end of last year and the idea will be to create all kinds of libraries like sfx, environments, foley, etc.
> I use the metadata according to the UCS, I create my own cover for the sound libraries and I provide the samples in the highest possible quality (32 bit / 192 Khz).

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!
