Lift Me Up is a funky-freestyle collection of unique risers. The variety of organic sources were resynthed, twisted, spinned and flown away. The resulting uplifters have wide-spread flavours: generic / scifi / mechanical / cartoon / experimental / trailer.
UK Residential & Industrial contains a diverse offering of exterior suburban sounds captured during field recording sessions by our team of Audio Craftsmen. The sound effects in this library will make a wonderful addition to your collection and are perfect for use in films, documentaries, commercials, and video games. They work well for projects based in the UK, but are equally well-suited to projects with an international setting.
The team journeyed extensively through various suburban environments, recording quiet streets and rows of houses, traffic of differing intensities, parks with children playing and dogs walking, and distant and up-close construction. All sounds were captured in real-world locations to deliver an honest sonic representation of residential areas within the UK.
The included sounds have been precisely edited so that you can simply drop them into your project timeline and are provided dry in 24Bit 96kHz allowing for further sonic manipulation if required. All files are tagged with extensive metadata to allow you to search for and select the desired sound with ease.
Some of the included sounds are: Clock tower bells tolling, birds chirping in a quiet neighbourhood, light traffic passing by, distant hums of a busy construction site, a dog barking in the park and much, much more.

Back and Forth was born of an idea of Matteo Milani and Lorenzo di Tria (aka Dj Mate/Signal Generator), thinking on how to build an intuitive and great sounding music tool for contemporary producers and sound designers.
Based on Lorenzo’s experience on the art of turntablism and Matteo’s ability to produce distinctive sound effect libraries, this collection is now an easy way to add real scratch and turntable performances to your musical and audiovisual projects, and finally make them sounds better then ever before.

With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.
A Sound Effect is an excellent resource for us to keep our animated films sounding unique and exciting.
A Sound Effect is a great asset to have discovered.
We found the site very easy to navigate, purchasing and downloads were effortless and the effects themselves are awesome! Asbjoern has done us all a great service.
We’ll definitely be back!
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!
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!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!
A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.
