Ambisonic Sound Effects Room Tone Play Track 60 sounds included, 311 mins total From: $109

Sound Tailor Effects Library enters the void with its 3rd release:

60 sounds, 5+ hours of rich and deep room tones, with a variety of sizes and environments that will cover most of sound editors needs. From a quiet residential bedroom to an reverberant inactive hospital hall, a ventilated office space, or a noisy basement, we carefully chose the right place at the right time, to get the best from those empty spaces.

We’ve recorded with a combination of 7 low noise microphones, 1 ambisonic microphone and 1 geophone, dispatched on a wide rig, to get the best spatial impression, allowing us to deliver a true 7.1.2 format, plus ambisonic, 5.1 and 2.1 versions. The sub channel, provided by the geophone and its low frequency response, has been a shocking surprise for us, and is a real colorful and creative addition.

You can choose between several spatial format combinations, to suit your needs. All versions includes a stereo mixdown, and all files are loopable.

Sound Tailor’s Room Tones is UCS compliant, and delivered in high resolution 96kHz/24 Bits.

Sound Tailor – Boat Horns

Imagine you had a real color palette when it comes to boat horn sounds. That is now possible with Sound Tailor Effects Library new release.

In the heart of Burgundy, in central France, we met with this passionate boat horn chaser and collector who has managed, through years of research, to acquire one of the largest boat horns collection in the world. In a quiet field, we captured these incredibly loud horns, from close to distant spots, with a variety of static and dynamic microphones.

This library includes 33 unique boat horns, organized in a chromatic scale, from A2 to F#5. We recorded 4 blasts of each horn, from short to long ones, for convenient editing. Each horn comes in 3 audio files, with 3 different microphone perspectives:

– 4 meters in LCR (a combination of Neuman TLM103 / Sennheiser SM57)

– 50 & 200 meters in a 5.0 surround mic array (Sennheiser MKH8020/8040)

They have the same length and can be easily combined for more sonic possibilities.

In addition, you get recordings of an air siren, custom made from a boat horn, and 5 edited loops of it, plus 3 different train steam whistles.

Boat Horns contains more than 22,41 GB / 252 Files.

For its 1st release, Sound Tailor Effects Library is proud to bring you ‘The Cave’, a collection of surround sounds recorded in a truly amazing cave in France. Located in the depths of the Pyrenean Mountains, ‘La Grotte De La Verna’ is Europe’s largest cave. It consists of a 660m man-made tunnel, kilometers of underground rivers, and a waterfall flowing in a 3,6 million m3 hall.

We recorded everything you would expect from such a place: extremely quiet room tones with various levels of rumble, water dripping sounds of many densities, at various distances, howling and whistling winds, all sorts of underground water streams, plus a terrific metal door, phantom-like distant voices, and a few rock falls.

The Cave contains more than 43GB / 206 Files.

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!

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!
