Birds & Nature WAV

Back Hoe WAV

Babies SFX WAV

FANTASTiC | 02 April 2019 | 77 MB

Be gentle with these babies, they’re mine. Recorded from when they were 2 weeks old and 3-6 months old. Plenty of cute and cuddly coo’s, baby talk, breaths, efforts, sighs, yawns, coughs, snorts and crying. Lots of subtle sounds for when you just need a bit of presence from that baby onscreen.

2005 Smart Fortwo WAV

FANTASTiC | 30 March 2019 | 567 MB

The Smart Fortwo is a unique everyday car. Under the hood, or rather under the trunk (it’s a rear mounted engine) this hatchback sports a tiny 41hp diesel engine. Normally covered for obvious reasons, we opened it up to expose the engine and get some super clean onboard recordings from inside the car. Also, because the Fortwo has a quasi-manual transmission, we were able to perform the gear changes with dramatic sequences in mind. So they are more pronounced, adding some character that is sometimes lost in a fully automatic transmission. Included are a full set of exterior and onboard (engine/tailpipe) recordings at varying speeds as well as all the doors and a couple dashboard chimes.

The Sound Effects Bible PDF

P2P | Feb 11, 2013 | 5.2 MB

The Sound Effects Bible is the complete guide to recording, editing, and designing your own sound effects. If it snaps, crackles, pops, crashes, booms or bangs, it can be found somewhere in this first-ever book on the black art of Foley and sound effects. This definitive book covers microphone selection, field recorders, the ABCs of digital audio, understanding digital audio workstations, building your own Foley stage, designing your own editing studio, sound design, and much more. This book will teach you everything you need to know to get started creating and recording your own sound effects. Period. There is very little fluff and only brief periods of wild and aimless exposition. Other than that, it’s straight to the point and chocked full of pics, diagrams, and real world experience. With over 650 sound effects products under his belt, Ric Viers has been there, done that, broke it, fixed and then sold it on Ebay. This book tells you exactly how he did it and more importantly, how you can do it too.

Multi-channel, mono close, stereo room.

Zombie WAV

FANTASTiC | 27 February 2019 | 163 MB

In a remote research lab in the north-east of England, scientists have been secretly carrying out experiments on a number of human test subjects. There is no record of what these experiments entailed or who authorized them, but one thing we do know is that something went horrendously wrong and transformed these once-innocent, everyday people into something else entirely… Something inherently evil.  Herein lies an audio documentation of these wretched beasts as they run amok with only one thing on their minds… To feed and to destroy.
