Destruction & Impact Sounds Stones and Debris Play Track 1350 sounds included $99

A SOUND COLLECTION THAT ROCKS
Packed with the breaking, cracking, falling, rolling, rattling, dragging and shattering of stones, rocks, bricks, pebbles, gravel, sand and porcelain, Stones and Debris offers you a great selection of ultra-realistic sound effects. Use the recordings to flexibly create all types of stone debris, from settling dust and small falling stones to large rock avalanches or massive destruction.

In addition to the source recordings, this package includes a range of pre-designed destruction sounds of collapsing buildings and walls, huge cracks, landslides as well as dumping rubble. These sounds will help you on the fly when everything breaks, a city is under attack and houses collapse after an explosion or earthquake.

RECORDED WITH ACOUSTIC PRECISION
We have spared no effort in creating a highly versatile tool of stone recordings. Besides the sessions in our studio, we captured the sounds in quarries, abandoned buildings, forests and volcanic landscapes to get as many different stones and rocks as possible. Stones and Debris gives you maximum flexibility to layer, transform or create new sounds and adds detailed textures to your projects.
