Home Sound Effects
Hello my names Cal, happy and proud to be classed as a Sound Designer and working within the Audio Industry. I came late to the game but deep down this has always been a passion of mine. Since around 2017 I’ve been Sound Designing and Composing but in 2020 I did some field recording for a film and enjoyed it so much I added field recording to my belt, this led to me creating Sample Packs and Kontakt Instruments under the business name In Motion Audio. If you like what we do please check out our website, socials on instagram and sign up to our mailing list for all things In Motion Audio.
We wanted to record the sound of a city, the hustle and bustle, the noise, the traffic so what better place than Manchester
We recorded multiple types of ambiences in different parts of Manchester through out the day, this includes:
Crowds of people shopping, commuting and passing by
Different Languages from the Crowds
Various transportations including cars, busses, Trucks, bikes and trams with their high pitched squeaks and horns
Police sirens in the distance and up close
Car Horns

Distant Protesting
and
Some quieter areas of Manchester where you can hear the traffic but less crowds for a different perspective of Manchester

It made sense that whilst doing a Wood based tip run, that we should record the wood before actually taking it to the tip.
Spoiler Alert: The wood was hurt in the making of this sample pack, but we recycled it.

Snapping
Breaking
Bending
Twisting
Rubbing
Scraping
Creaking
Hitting
Dropping
Knocking
Hammering
Moving various pieces of Wood (Think we covered all the actions lol)

So We’ve been wanting to record in a deep dense Forest for sometime and this one was not only enjoyable but absolutely beautiful
We travelled to the Forest of Bowland, to record the beautiful sounds this Forest had to offer.
We were surrounded by Dense Conifer tree’s on a slightly damp/windy day which added to the atmosphere and extraordinary sounds the Forest created, with a constant variety of Bird songs and on occasions Sheep Bleating, it truly added to the recording experience.
Bowland was a hive of activity with some recordings capturing Aeroplane noises and vehicles driving around the Forest but we also got a variety of just natural Forest sounds without these disturbances.

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.
