Devil-Dog HD Pro SFX WAV

P2P | May 21 2015 | 587.8 MB

Introducing Dixie, a very special English Bull Terrier with an amazing vocal ability that is unlike anything you have ever heard before. She is special because she is deaf and cannot hear what comes out of her mouth. She is loved and cared for by some friends here in town and they graciously allowed me to come to their home and record her. The Devil Dog HD Professional SFX Library contains over 800 individual Zombie-like sound effects recorded at 24-Bit 192kHz presented on 60 tracks. Dixie makes the best noises when she is asleep dreaming or very tired and does not want to be bothered. She was very excited when I arrived so they tried to calm her down a little bit to see if she would make some of the amazing “alien” noises they say she makes. The sounds she made when I was in the room were great but after a while I went outside for 5 minutes and left the gear with them and they were able to get her to make some really cool noises. I was able to leave the recording gear overnight and got some really amazing close up sleeping sounds.

Analog Performer SFX WAV

FANTASTiC | 23 MARCH 2015 | 927 MB

Analog Performer SFX is a mind-expanding suite of electronic sound effects. From glitchy blips to screaming rips, noise strikes to harmonic ripples, laughing androids to alien birdcalls, Analog Performer SFX will add colour and chaos to your productions. The library was crafted from exclusive performances on Moog Source synthesiser complemented by his Korg MS-20/MS-50 modular system and Korg SQ-10 analog sequencer. The combination of synth programming and live improvisation gives this library an unmistakable character – hovering between vintage sci-fi and futuristic electronica – that can’t be matched by software synths or computer-based sequencing. A bonus suite of remixed effects by sound designer Iain Morland pushes into further sonic terrain, including sweeps, risers, and hybrid textures.

CONTACT MIC SFX WAV

P2P | 16.03.2015 | 3.65 GB

Recording with contact microphones is fascinating territory to explore due to the unpredictable results; it encourages experimentation! Inspired by the incredible work of Alan Splet and Anne Krober on Dune (as described in this article) I bought a custom built Trance Audio Inducer contact mic and preamp back in 2001, and have been experimenting with it ever since. A couple of years later I added a pair of Barcus Berry Planar Wave contact mics and while these mics featured in Tortured Piano this library is something else again: it is literally the result of hundreds of hours of experimenting… If you’re interested I have explained some of my experience in more detail in this article One aspect of contact mic recording that is fascinating for sound design is the lack of acoustic – there is no reverb due to the sounds being recording via direct vibration, not through the air. This feature alone makes for very malleable sounds, excellent as components and layers in complex, composite sounds or for when you need an abstract organic sound but where the actual source must remain concealed…

SEAL VOCALS SFX WAV

P2P | March 16 2015 | 891.5 MB

There are three species of seals which visit New Zealand’s coastline but it is the fur seal (Kekeno) which is the easiest to find, with three colonies relatively close to Wellington. But if you really want to get close to them, there is always the option of travelling to the South Island and swimming with seals! Me? I prefer to keep my distance – apart from the smell, fur seals can grow to a size of 160kg and are fearsome sounding creatures. Accordingly I made these recordings using the longest mic boom that I could find – I wanted close up recordings for use as components of creature vocals, but I sure didn’t want to get bitten (my Rycote survived at least a dozen bites though!)

PRESSURE SFX WAV

P2P | 16 March 2015 | 3.53 GB

We all know sound occurs through the vibration of air molecules, but what happens when you deliberately manipulate the pressure? We’ve employed a vast range of devices for exactly that purpose: a five ton steam engine, an air compressor with many different attachments, truck air brakes, a domestic pressure cooker, spray cans, fire extinguishers, balloons, shaken up soda cans, paint ball guns & the most essential device of all; the human breath! Every one of these devices provides a unique source of design material, whether its many varied forms of aggressive attack, or the sustained shriek & decay as the pressure drops… Use these as elements in their own right or convolve them with your favourite source material or impulse responses – the noise component means they cut through even the densest mixes. We also took the opportunity to record some very interesting ambiences – air hissing through a variety of pipes…

Airburst SFX For Ni MASSiVE NMSV

DISCOVER | 14 MARCH 2015 | 3 MB

New release of 50 synth patches, Airburst SFX – Massive Presets, and it’s about to detonate! Featuring a huge and versatile variety of cataclysmic Hits, ominous, gritty Drones, deliriously dark Swells and Risers, relentless Rhythmic Patterns and layered, textured SFX, this synth presets pack is prepped to fire your imagination and blast your NI Massive patch library into orbit. To put it simply, the sounds in this release are so crammed full of energy, power and ferocity that they’re always on the very edge of blowing up! There’s also a darker, more mysterious side to this release. Take these presets for a spin and feel the weight of unstable, pulsating Bass sinking below the combustable mayhem in the Mids and Treble. These sounds focus intently on gradual evolution and subtle sonic layering, with plenty going on between rushes of noisy interference, gritty oscillator movements and the searing crackle of laser sweeps.
