Create and destroy with the explosive energy of Anime – a go-to anime sound effects library for content creators of all kinds. With quintessential Japanese anime sounds created with a fresh and modern approach and inspired by works like Neon Genesis Evangelion, Dragon Ball Z, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop and more, you’ll be equipped with the tools you need to craft an authentic retro cartoon aesthetic. Add character to your projects using expressionistic and emotive sounds inspired by established tropes in anime sound design.

The Anime library was recorded and produced by Jason Strawley and Andrew Garraway using Eurorack modular synthesizers and a Moog Matriarch. Created after months of research, trial and error, and honing in on the iconic vintage “anime sound,” this library packs a punch with warm analog zaps, extreme explosions, whooshes, shockwaves, weaponry, movement sounds and more. Add that familiar high-voltage, gritty distortion to your video games, movies, TV shows, animations, videos and beyond.

“We spent months trying to hit upon what exactly makes anime sound so distinct. There isn’t a wealth of information out there about how these sounds were created. We knew going into it that the sounds were mostly synthesized, and often less literal than what we’d hear in Western entertainment. Beyond that, all we had to go off of was our in-house smell test of ‘does it sound like anime?’” – Jason Strawley

Each sound file is embedded with rich metadata to help you find the exact sound effect you need with fast, pinpoint search. Advanced metadata fields ensure compatibility across any database search platform such as SoundQ, Soundminer, BaseHead, Netmix, Workspace (Pro Tools), Find Tool (Media Composer), Media Bay (Nuendo), Reaper, Adobe Premiere, and beyond.

Whoosh sound effects are the perfect way to convey movement, excitement and scale. But there’s no one-size-fits-all whoosh – some are fast, some are slow, some are low-pitched, some are high-pitched, some are realistic, and some are abstract. Finding the perfect whoosh for any given moment is key to conveying what you want the audience to feel, but sometimes you just can’t find the right one. Kinetic expands your options with a collection of highly specific, custom-designed whooshes created by Academy Award®-winning sound artist Mark Mangini (Dune, Mad Max: Fury Road, Blade Runner 2049).

This fresh and unique whoosh sound effects library is perfect for adding dynamic motion to transitions, trailers, and more. You won’t find any of the typical whoosh sounds made from swishing ropes or other ordinary objects – each asset in this pack has been crafted with a unique sonic identity ranging from fast, intense swoops and airy flutters to massive, rumbling pass-bys and abrasive, distorted tears.

Each sound file is embedded with rich, UCS-standardized metadata for fast, pinpoint search results. Descriptions include Mangini's specific search terms that evoke the character of each sound – making it easier to find the right sound to tell your story. Advanced metadata fields ensure compatibility across any database search platform such as SoundQ, Soundminer, BaseHead, Netmix, Workspace (Pro Tools), Find Tool (Media Composer), Media Bay (Nuendo), Reaper, Adobe Premiere, and beyond.

Authentic sounds of the human body from award-winner Mark Mangini.

Many real-world sounds can be imitated with clever sound design, but when it comes to the human body, there’s no substitute for the real thing. Even Academy Award®-winning sound artist Mark Mangini (Dune, Blade Runner 2049), with an immense library at his disposal, found his collection lacking in detailed, varied body sounds – so he set about recording his own. To create this library, Mangini recorded the sounds of his own body in an ultra-quiet environment with top-tier microphones to capture maximum detail and dynamics.

Perfectly complementing Volumes 1 and 2, the third and final general library in the series expands on broad coverage of major categories while offering plenty of new material and one-of-a-kind gems to inspire your sound design.

Hype up your sound design with Quantum Nexus: a power-packed collection of designed sound effects from MPSE Golden Reel-winner Tobias Poppe (Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Spider-Man 2 video game). Tobi’s punchy, Hollywood-ready sounds jump out of the speakers, ready to take your trailers, sci-fi productions, animation, and games to the next level.

Control the dynamics and set the pace of your sound design with a deep selection of risers and downers ranging in length from two seconds to more than one minute.

Punctuate your soundtracks with beefy impacts and stylized explosions, highlight big moments with massive Hollywood-style braams and tonal stingers, or slow things down and set a mood with eerie, pulsing drones.

Useful for much more than just trailers, Quantum Nexus doubles as a fantastic toolbox for sci-fi and horror sound design, retro games, and more. Tobi’s unique approach puts a new spin on familiar sound effects like laser guns, alarms, and telemetry; retro-inspired video game sounds; and horror stingers incorporating screams, chains, and reverb.

The simplest sound effects are often the most essential. Created by Oscar®-winning sound artist Mark Mangini (Dune, Blade Runner 2049), this library features a vast variety of analog button clicks, switches, toggles, and latches — all recorded in high resolution with plenty of variations and no additional processing. Indispensable for everyday editing, these sounds also make an excellent basis for creative sound design, including UI sounds and anything mechanical.

This library covers many everyday devices such as lightswitches, TV remotes, iPhones, wireless speakers, game controllers, and household appliances; plus harder-to-find sounds like accordion keys, panel buttons, and firearm safeties. There’s even a sizable selection of vehicle sound effects including turn signals, dashboard controls, and hood latches.

Each file includes multiple variations, giving more nuance to repetitive sounds and providing plenty of creative options. Additionally, each file includes a picture of its source, so you can always find an authentic sound for any device.

Scottish Borders: Forests & Woodlands captures the timeless mystique of this historic region through the distinctive recording techniques of BAFTA-winning sound artist and composer Chris Watson (Frozen Planet, Secret World of Sound With David Attenborough). With detailed soundscapes of Britain’s ancient groves and waterways, Watson’s deep connection to the environment shines through in recordings made with minimal human interference – often captured remotely over hours to preserve the natural rhythm and presence of each location.

Although focused on woodland biomes, this library is about much more than trees. In addition to a huge variety of deciduous and evergreen forest ambiences, Watson’s recordings highlight the amazing biodiversity of the Scottish Borders region. You’ll hear multiple species of deer in their natural habitat, along with wild foxes, owls, and a stunning assortment of songbirds. Buzzing insects populate the forests in spring and summer, including close-up recordings of wasp and wood ant nests.

A pioneer of experimental recording, Watson uses specialty microphones and adventurous techniques to capture unique textures that make excellent material for creative sound design. Highlights include contact mics stuck in tree bark during heavy winds, subterranean rumbles recorded by microphones buried among tree roots, water freezing around hydrophones, and bats hunting with sonar recorded by a heterodyne receiver.

Veteran recordist and sound designer Watson Wu (Baby Driver, Gran Turismo, Need for Speed) knows that high-quality recordings of everyday vehicles are just as essential as vintage hotrods and exotic supercars. Wu Collection: Vehicles Vol. 4 focuses on those “daily drivers” that make up the majority of today’s traffic: the mid-size sedan, the family SUV, the blue-collar pickup truck, and the increasingly common hybrids and electrics.

Vol. 4 features full workups of six common, modern vehicles. The 2021 Chevy Malibu represents the average mid-size car, while the 2018 Tesla Model X gives you a common electric option. The 2021 Nissan Rogue is the quintessential family SUV, while the 2018 Infiniti QX30 crossover adds a bit of luxury and the 2024 Mercedes GLA 250 gives you a contemporary hybrid option. Finally, the 2020 Jeep Gladiator easily stands in for a variety of rugged pickups and offroad vehicles.

Each vehicle features exterior and interior recordings of various driving speeds, maneuvers, startups, shutdowns, and idling – with only a handful of stunt takes with skids and squeals, just in case. Wu handled most of the driving himself in order to get the cleanest, most useful takes possible. Also included are mechanical sounds such as doors, windows, parking brakes, and even a few Ambisonic recordings

What is a workup? A workup is a thorough series of recordings of the same subject from many different perspectives, angles, and distances. To ensure you have the sounds needed for any scene, a workup of a specific vehicle provides recordings of every action the vehicle performs - both interior, exterior, and at different speeds and RPM levels including pass bys, ramp ups, engine rumble, mechanical sounds, car Foley, and more.

Detailed workups included: 2024 Mercedes GLA 250 Hybrid, 2021 Chevy Malibu, 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport, 2020 Jeep Gladiator, 2018 Infinity QX30 Crossover, 2018 Tesla Model X

Before the 1961 season, NFL players were expected to be two-way players—that's offense AND defense! That's pretty tough. But then again, before 1906 (when President Teddy Roosevelt had to convince universities to change the rules of American Football) gang tackling was still allowed, forward passing was illegal, and the distance for a first down was five yards instead of ten.

Bengal tigers are the national animal of both Bangladesh and India. Their roar is among the mightiest of any big cat: it can be heard from a range of two miles. Bengals are the most common tiger and number about half of all wild tigers, though that's not too many, as there are more tigers in captivity than living in the wild.

The Tommy Gun sound effects library features 42 recordings of the historic weapon, ready to electrify your projects with this iconic American firearm. While the Thompson Submachine Gun was used primarily in the 1920’s and ‘30’s, the thorough firing, bullet pass-bys, and ricochet sounds from the ‘Chicago Typewriter’ can be used for guns of any time period.

Recorded to tape by renowned sound artist Andy Aaron (Scarface, The Godfather: Part III), these characterful gunshot sounds feature both single shots, bursts of various lengths, and fully automatic gun fire. The collection was recorded in a secluded forest in Woodstock, NY, complete with firing targets including cans, broken furniture, a washing machine, and glass bottles of “shooting beer” (not to be confused with "drinking beer") The session came to an abrupt end when a stray bullet severed an audio cable near a target.

Complemented by sounds of metal impacts, glass and dirt debris, bullet pass-bys, these gun recordings will add explosive energy to your scenes that feature old-school gangsters, mob/mafia members, World War 2 soldiers — as well as contemporary gun-wielders. Each sound file is embedded with rich, descriptive metadata for fast, intuitive search results to help increase efficiency and sustain creativity.
