Home Sound Effects
We are a small team from Kyiv, Ukraine, that works 10+ years as audio designers for game audio.
As an ex-Crytek audio team, we have worked on Warface – the first-person shooter.
Nowadays, we are working on the next promising game title and, as a hobby, create libraries for you.
The library includes the ambient and mechanical devices loops from industrial ironworks—oxygen pumps, crankshaft devices, boring machines, fans, etc.
Quiet ambient room tones are ideal for atmosphere and suspense in video games. Mechanical devices suited for starting points in sound design steampunk vehicles, weapons, and authentic devices.
This library is recorded in the Carpathian mountains in Ukraine.
It consists of small creeks, large rapids, and turbulent watercourses. All files are ideally suited for creating background ambient for video games and media.
Dam sound recordings from several positions: top, bottom, side, and a view from top to bottom.
The points are recorded from various distances: close, 1m, 2m, 5m, 10m, and 15m.
Consist of close-up water splashing, rippling surges, gurgling and falling streams from the concrete blocks, and moderately distant recordings from a dam.
This sound library includes the sound of hammer impacts, mallet hits on an anvil, many foleys such as pick and drop clamps, hammer on an anvil, and stand. In addition, it consists of water sizzle, working bellows (load, no-load, fire, no fire), and horseshoe clanks.
A recording session was in a native Ukrainian village in the smithy.
All files have a natural reverb effect with a short tail, so I decided not to touch it for a more natural-sounding.
I used two Oktava MK 012 mics and Shure FP33 Stereo Mixer for boosting with analog limiters.
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.
