Sound Effects

Creating “micro” libraries focusing on specific sounds or locations.

The goal is to create small affordable libraries for use in film and television. Everything is recorded and output at 96kHz/24bit with minimal processing. This allows the user more control if they want to manipulate the sound. It also allows the library to be drag and drop if timelines are tight.

If you have a suggestion of a sound/ location you would like to see recorded email: [email protected]

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!
