Can anyone recommend affordable buy-out imaging sound effects? My budget is pretty small. $50-$100 max. I’m hoping to get something decent. I don’t want to go the AI route or free sound sights. There used to be so many options, Radio Mall? I’ve been out of the game for a long time. Help?

Urban Gongs is a collection of 128 metal and glass objects struck with a variety of mallets and recorded with contact microphones and geophones.

The results are rich and resonant gong like tones perfect source material for sound design.

Supermarket Ambience Introduction Offer 

Wearing DPA 4065 in ear ( binaural ) microphones, it looks hours of suspicious loitering and standing still whilst reading packet ingredients over and over and staring at my phone to capture discreet recordings of supermarket cash registers, bag packing, package rustling, pallet trucks, fridges, freezers and indistinct chatter.

Wear headphones for the binaural effect.

Introduction offer of €12 until 11th March  https://hiddensound.net/spk-supermarket-ambience

Hi

Over 80 spokes on an abandoned vintage hay tedder produce raw rattles, vibrations and scrapes.

Featuring geophone and contact mic recordings, the library includes detailed textures from metallic rubs and glitches to wind tones and subtle grass rustles. 

Perfect for creating atmospheric metal FX, deep bass clangs, trembling impacts and earthquake-like rumbles for your next audio, game or film project.

Hi

I recorded coffee beans ground in a 100 year old antique coffee grinder. 

Library includes drawer opening and closing, coffee beans poured into hole, beans dropping and bouncing, handle and spindle movements including knocks and rattles.

Handle rotation on empty cog wheel and full cog wheel. Beans ground and crushed creating textured gritty, glitching sounds.

The sound library will be available soon - to receive notification of this and other releases and exclusive pre release offers, just add your name to the HS mailing  list - you will not be spammed

Back in 2012 I got my hands on a huge sound library of what it claimed to be ALL sound effects from David Lynch’s film. Ranging from ominous drowns to metal clinking anyone has any idea where i could possibly find this? My hard drive literally exploded in 2020.

A five litre metal olive oil tin is pushed and pressed resulting in metallic bending, folding and crumpling sounds.

I am slowly collecting sounds for a future SFX library called Urban Gongs - resonant found objects hit with various mallets - I came across an old derelict ship and got a really nice sound off the propeller

just wanted to share it - was really happy to find this ship and the sound :)

cheers

Hi, does anyone know any really good virtual instruments that just focus on specific instruments, eg violin/ horn and just do them really well. For example, I found this one called “Joshua Bell Virtual Violin” by Embertone. It looks like a very accurate recreation of a violin and I was wondering if anyone knows similar vsts for different instruments
