Jaguar iPace – An electric SUV designed by Ian Callum, launched in 2018.

An extensive amount of onboards, driving at very slow paces with both steady and varying speeds, city driving, higher speeds, various accelerations and decelerations at various paces. The library offers 19.5GB of sound in total.

The way car sound is set up is it’s emitting a tone through exterior speakers at speeds up to 30mph, which then fades away while starting to feed an interesting tone through interior speakers to compliment the feeling of acceleration for the driver and passengers.

Animal Sound Effects Maldivian Crickets Play Track 13+ sounds included $45

Crickets. A lot of crickets. It was quite a deafening experience recording this.

I’ve captured increments with a handheld ORTF pair of Sennheiser 8040s on a boom pole pointing at the loudest sound source and then switched to 2 DPA 4060s that recorded throughout the night. This offered a bit of variation in the intensity of sound and quantity of crickets performing for you that night. You can hear occasional tropical birds towards the morning.

The library offers around 6 hours of audio and I’ve also cut below 1.7 kHz & 4 kHz to offer a bit more isolation for crickets. This is done on separate takes as an option.

This configuration of microphones flew 4 sessions until switching to recording one microphone placed on the engine for the last two sessions.

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!

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!
