There’ve been some really interesting sound effect libraries added to A Sound Effect recently. Here’s a look at four of them:

Interesting new sound effects:

Wild whooshes from bobsleds


  •
    Sports Sound Effects Bobsleighs and Skeleton Play Track 82 sounds included, 24 mins total $29

    Bob Skeleton library delivers exciting action sounds of  Two Men Bob and Skeleton heroes that go down the track with more than 100 kilometers/hour.

    The sounds of this library were taken from 9 spots along a track in Altenberg in the south of Germany. Each take is sorted and meta-tagged by recording spot and with this content you are able to assemble a complete run from start to finish or even to extend it by easily combining start sceneries, energetic passes in different speeds and noisy brakings down in the valley.

    Furthermore Bob Skeleton´s content is an inspiring resource for sound mangling experiments and artificial foley design.

Stephan Marche from Detunized had the clever idea to record the sounds of bobsleds for his latest SFX library. They produce some great, lively sounds as they whirl by at more than 100km/hr – really useful for spicing up your whoosh arsenal, or perhaps for designing interesting new vehicle or spacecraft sounds?

 

Undercover agent SFX tools


 
  •
    Hum, Buzz & Glitch Sound Effects The Undercover SFX Library Play Track 282+ sounds included $45

    SHHhhhhh… They are listening…

    282 strange, ghostly and spy-like sounds collected from 2 old analog dictaphones, 1 portable cassette recorder, 1 very small digital dictaphone, 3 portable modern recorders, 1 video cam, and finally 1 very famous portable Reel to Reel recorder (a Nagra IS).

    The Undercover Sound FX Library Contains:

    • 136 tracks of, Microphone bumps, lav. Microphone put on clothes, Microphone Feedback, Microphone Noises, and the sounds of the inside of a video cams Mechanics.
    • 41 tracks of, Dictaphone & Cassette Processed (Kyma, GRM Tools, SoundToys) Sounds, weird telephone answering machine noises, Buttons, Play, Rewinds, and Fast Forward sounds.
    • 82 Reel To Reel sounds. Buttons, Tape on, Rewinds/Fast forwards, Manual searching and scratches, where the recorded sounds are heard through the internal speaker of the tape recorder, as well as recorded line out.
    • 23 Various processed (Kyma, GRM Tools, SoundToys) sounds. Different stuff speed up, and mangled.

    Many of the recorded sounds have been re-recorded on to tape to get that smooth analog sound. Especially the feedback sounds, and bumps benefit from this technique, but also ambience sounds recorded onto a over used 5″ tape has a certain undercover sound to them!
