Drones & Mood Sound Effects Esoteric Texture Play Track 148 sounds included, 210 mins total $55

Esoteric Texture is a unique collection of abstract and evocative textures created entirely from real recordings. It provides a more tangible, visceral palette than the glossy sound we know and love from Hollywood.

From deep searing sweeps to delicate insect-like grains, strange tonalities and abstract motion, the rugged physicality of this collection gives you something a little bit different. Great for layering into design sequences to add some detail and edge.

Most files are continuous textures, but many also have singles/one-shots for ease of editing. All files are meta-tagged.

Environments & Ambiences Pipes of Industry Play Track 199 sounds included, 130 mins total $65

Recorded at an active power station, a physics laboratory, a three-story steam pump and various industrial complexes, these giant pipes produce unusual sounds as gasses and liquids are pushed through them at extremely high pressures. From classic metallic pads and strange harmonic textures, to squeaking, rattling, clanking, breathing and the juddering of machinery vibrating through them.

Recorded at 96kHz/24bit with 2 contact mics going into a Sound Devices 788T, they provide a unique palette useful for both real, and other-worldly applications. From industrial vents and factories to sci-fi alien cargo ships.

There is also a section of details/sweeteners to add spice and punctuation. All files are meta-tagged.

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!
