Environments & Ambiences Nordic Archipelago Beach Play Track 17 sounds included, 66 mins total $20

NORDIC ARCHIPELAGO BEACH consists of 17 sounds recorded on islands in the Gulf of Bothnia and is made up mostly of the sound of water on the rocky and pebble beaches which is quite different from what you would hear on the beach of an ocean.

The library was recorded using a Rode NT-SF1 and a Zoom F8n and is delivered as 48 kHz, 24-bit WAV and in both Ambisonic A-format and binaural stereo. The Ambisonic A-format files you can decode into mono, stereo or a variety of surround formats using plugins such as the free SoundField by RØDE plugin.

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!
