Sound Effects

The Field Recording Library is a project dedicated to professional field recordings.

Starting in 2022, whether planned or spontaneous, successful or not so much, I’ve been recording everything for my own projects or just for the pleasure of the process. Over time, a large amount of material has accumulated, and the desire to share my recordings arose.

City Life Sound Effects FRL. Ultimate. Stereo Play Track 786 sounds included, 2160 mins total $250

Field Recording Library proudly presents Ultimate – a collection that combines the finest recordings from the Kaleidoscope, Vol. 1, and Vol. 2 libraries. This comprehensive archive spans three years of dedicated work, capturing the rich and diverse soundscapes of Russia – from the awakening of nature in spring to the crisp chill of autumn.

Kaleidoscope offers an extensive selection of atmospheric recordings made between 2022 and 2023. The library takes you to various locations, from serene forests and quiet courtyards to bustling highways and vibrant city squares. These recordings, presented in 48kHz, provide a versatile foundation for any audiovisual project, delivering vivid and realistic soundscapes.

Vol. 1 raises the bar in sound quality, featuring recordings in 96kHz, 24Bit for unmatched detail. Dedicated to the sounds of Russia and St. Petersburg from early spring to late summer, this library introduces extended ambient recordings up to 20 minutes. These long-form tracks offer greater flexibility in selecting and combining textures, making it easier to create custom atmospheres.

Vol. 2 focuses on the autumn soundscapes of St. Petersburg and its surroundings. From the warm days of September to the damp chill of November, this library showcases urban and natural soundscapes in various weather and time conditions. The highlight of this collection is the addition of extra channels, synchronized with the main recordings. These channels reveal new dimensions, such as underwater waves captured with a hydrophone or hidden textures recorded with contact microphones and geophones. Like Vol. 1, these recordings are presented in 96kHz, 24Bit, making them a professional-grade tool for sound design.

Ultimate combines variety and versatility in one package. This collection is perfect for any project – from crafting immersive atmospheres for films, games, and advertisements to developing unique sound layers. It’s the ideal choice for anyone looking to dive into the world of Field Recording Library and gain access to the full spectrum of soundscapes in one comprehensive set.

City Life Sound Effects FRL. Vol. 2. Stereo Play Track 236 sounds included, 660 mins total $100

Field Recording Library proudly presents Vol. 2 – a sound library entirely dedicated to the autumn soundscapes of St. Petersburg and its surroundings. From the golden warmth of early September to the damp chill of late November, this collection captures the full spectrum of autumn’s auditory landscapes.

The library includes urban soundscapes recorded in diverse conditions: bustling streets under the rain, quiet parks with the rustle of fallen leaves, echoes of conversations in autumn courtyards, and much more. Each recording immerses you in the heart of the moment, bringing the character of the season to life.

What sets Vol. 2 apart are the unique recordings that didn’t make it into the first two libraries. These exclusive materials enrich and expand the collection, making it even more versatile and inspiring.

The main microphone, the Nevaton MC50, ensures pristine and detailed sound quality, while the recordings’ 96kHz and 24Bit format meet the highest professional standards.

A major innovation in Vol. 2 is the addition of extra channels. These synchronized recordings provide new dimensions to the sound. For example, alongside the sound of river waves, you can hear their underwater counterpart captured with a hydrophone or feel the earth’s subtle vibrations through a geophone. Contact microphones and other specialized devices reveal hidden textures and details that were previously inaudible.

Vol. 2 is more than a sound library – it’s a tool for creating atmospheres that truly come alive, drawing you into every sound. Perfect for films, games, sound design, and any project that requires rich, immersive audio. New horizons of autumn sound are here!

Field Recording Library presents its new sound library – Vol. 1. This collection continues the tradition of high-quality field recordings, now with even higher standards and a focus on the unique sounds of Russia, particularly St. Petersburg.

All materials were recorded using 96kHz, 24Bit parameters, meeting global standards for professional sound libraries. This ensures maximum detail and clarity, capturing every nuance and texture of the environment.

The collection is entirely dedicated to the sounds of Russia and St. Petersburg. It includes both urban and natural ambient recordings, allowing users to convey the unique atmosphere of Russian life.

Another significant addition is the longer ambient recordings, which now reach up to 20 minutes. This enables users to find the best fragments and create more complex sound combinations for their projects.

Vol. 1 was developed with feedback from the first library, Kaleidoscope, in mind. This allowed for improved structure and content, making the library even more convenient and valuable for professional use.

All recordings were made between early spring and late summer 2023, making Vol. 1 especially suited for projects set in these seasons and currently in post-production.

Additionally, the sounds from this library can be used as layers to create custom atmospheres that aren’t tied to Russia specifically. These versatile recordings are ideal for blending into various soundscapes and crafting unique audio environments.

This library is an excellent tool for creating vivid and immersive soundscapes in film, games, television, and other media formats, bringing audiences into the unique sonic world of Russia while offering the flexibility to shape your own sound environments.

Drones & Mood Sound Effects FRL. Kaleidoscope. Surround Play Track 227 sounds included, 540 mins total $200

Kaleidoscope is the first library of the project. It includes field recordings of various categories made in 2022-2023. All files are standardized according to the UCS system. The library features various atmospheric recordings immersing listeners into specific vivid and deep states.

Working on this library was very challenging personally for me. It took over a year to perfect it. It was difficult to remember where each recording was from and why I made it in the first place. Sometimes, photos from the locations helped, where I had to dig deep into my memory and listen to the recordings multiple times.

Kaleidoscope is a collection of disparate recordings united by one idea – to capture the here and now. From the clicks of waves resonating in the concrete confines of an abandoned duct to the atmosphere of an empty hotel room, from rain drumming on a metal canopy to sliding crystals in icy voids. The library is presented in two versions – stereo and spatial (5.0). Everything was recorded on the incredible Nevaton MS50 microphone in quad and DMS modes

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!

David Farmer

Sound designer:
Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit trilogies

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!

Charles Deenen

Director, Digital - Source Sound Inc.

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!
