It’s quite mild for the season here in Denmark, but winter has unquestionably arrived – and of course, that calls for a highlight of some of the wintry sound libraries in the A Sound Effect catalog.

So here are four sound libraries where field recordists battled the elements and got their feet (and, presumably, every other limb) cold, so you don’t have to. You can simply stay warm in the studio with this great arsenal of winter sounds for your projects:

Just updated with three new libraries

Frozen Lands

    In the winter of 2013-2014, both the Northeast and the Northwest were slammed with snow, ice, wind, and blizzards. The SkewSound team braved the frigid cold and recorded what we could: footsteps, compression, breaking ice, body falls, and much more.

    Our content was obtained during storms and their aftermath in Seattle, WA, Portland, OR, and Salem, MA. The frostbite SFX library contains some great impact sweeteners and sounds unique to winter temperatures. You won’t be disappointed!

Snowy Footsteps
 
  • Environments & Ambiences Footsteps Snow Play Track 45 sounds included, 25 mins total $54

    A footstep library built from long walks in cold and snowy conditions. Recorded in a remote, deserted Swedish forest, miles away from the nearest road.

    Different types of snow and boots were recorded as well as different paces:

    • Crusty
    • Thin/hard packed
    • Deep
    • Frozen stairs and porches
    • Stomps/scuffs
    • Sneakers
    • Leather boots
    • Kamiks

    Each track is easy to edit into multiple single footsteps for sweetening your tracks with real snow.

To get you some pristine, authentic snowy footsteps, field recordist Mikkel Nielsen went off to a remote Swedish forest to record this snow library, wearing various footwear such as sneakers, boots and kamiks.
 

Crunchy ice
 
  • A collection of 206 ice tension, creaking, and breaking sounds, recorded in a dense pine tree forest in Sweden.

    Ice Tension includes:

    • Very long tension creaking sounds
    • Multiple breaking sounds
    • Ice impacts on ice
    • Ice impacts into ice water

In the Swedish wilderness, Mikkel also went to a frozen lake to record a a number of icy sounds. And the result? This crunchy library featuring 206 sounds of authentic ice tension, creaking, and breaking sounds.
 

Stormy Weather
 
  • Environments & Ambiences Hurricane Winds Play Track 38 sounds included, 117 mins total $25

    Hurricane Winds features some of the biggest and most violent winds hitting the Danish coastal area in many, many years. Both both interior and exterior recordings are included.

    In hindsight, it's been crazy and stupid to be recording at some of these locations, but here they are – three years of unique storm recordings.

    Key features of Hurricane Winds:

    • 21 tracks of hurricane/storm recordings from a yachting and commercial harbor. Wind screaming as it flies through rigging, wires, masts etc. Plastic covers, structure, flags moving.

    • 6 tracks of hurricane/storm in the city. Trees moving, wind howling, small debris passing.

    • 2 tracks of storm in the forest. Trees creaking, as wind moves through tree tops.

    • 9 tracks of interior recordings. Roof moving, draft from windows. Small debris hitting window.

When your project calls for some chilling winds, Sonic Salute’s new library can help you out, with its numerous long and aggressive storm ambiences recorded during some historic storm
