Sound Design demo by Francisco Godinho (@franciscomsgodinho) utilizing Sonic Bat's samples taken from "Videogame Foley Essentials Vol. III".

About the Sound Library:

"Continuing the popular Videogame Foley Essentials series, Vol. III offers an additional 1355 individual sound effects all mixed at the same volume level, carefully cleaned of any unnecessary background noise and artifacts. These sounds are ready to be integrated into any audio middleware solution, such as Wwise or FMOD. Recorded with videogame development in mind, all sounds are short, snappy one-shots with dozens of iterations, making them ideal for layering, stretching and bending to achieve surprising results. The goal is to streamline the workflow for editors and sound designers by providing ready-to-use sound batches for their middleware projects, avoiding auditory repetition and fatigue for gamers while keeping them fully immersed in their upcoming adventures.

You’ll find in this library the following folders with clear nomenclature and corresponding metadata related to various interactions either with environmental objects or the characters in the game:

● Beverages: interactions with various bottles, cans and textures, including breaking, scraping, mixing and dropping ice cubes into glasses; bubbling through a straw; opening and pouring sodas, wine and water into glasses and sinks, with an emphasis on cap, cork and liquid shaking sounds; and crushing soda cans.
● Clothing: numerous one-shots of various clothing textures being torn.
● Household: regular interactions with household objects such as faucets, toilets, showers and washing machines from bathrooms and kitchens; handling small machinery like coffee machines, electric squeezers, hair dryers, hand blenders, liquifiers, microwaves, mixers, portable ACs and vacuum cleaners, power drills, printers and shavers; styrofoam sounds, including picking, dropping, breaking and rubbing; unsorted object interactions such as jiggling Christmas decorations, opening and closing two types of umbrellas, handling and lighting matchsticks, shaking and opening a painkiller bottle, inserting and removing a jack cable from an amp, and screeching sounds from a mini-oven door."

Francisco Godinho - Demo 1

Sound Design demo by Francisco Godinho (@franciscomsgodinho) utilizing Sonic Bat's samples taken from "Videogame Foley Essentials Vol. IV".

About the Sound Library:

"Continuing the popular Videogame Foley Essentials series, Vol. IV offers an additional 1325 individual sound effects all mixed at the same volume level, carefully cleaned of any unnecessary background noise and artifacts. These sounds are ready to be integrated into any audio middleware solution, such as Wwise or FMOD. Recorded with videogame development in mind, all sounds are short, snappy one-shots with dozens of iterations, making them ideal for layering, stretching and bending to achieve surprising results.

You’ll find in this library the following folders with clear nomenclature and corresponding metadata related to various interactions either with environmental objects or the characters in the game:

•	Cameras: foley sounds of both analog and digital cameras, including manual and digital zooming, button pressing, photographic film and battery insertion, digital power-on and power-off sounds, shooting clicks, and the handling of all camera elements.
•	Disks: CD, DVD and Blu-ray interactions, including the sound effects of respective players’ trays opening and closing, disk insertion and removal from various devices, button pressing, foley sounds of disks being placed, removed and inserted into different cases, and the handling of jewel cases and DVD cases. Also includes mechanical sounds of different recorders and players turning on and off.
•	Radio: long takes of both AM and FM frequencies. AM frequencies prominently feature harsh static, noise and distortion, while FM frequencies include rapid radio station switching with garbled voices, brief musical stings, and smoother static sounds. These frequency types were recorded using both in-line and microphone techniques. Also includes short static bursts from a radio being turned off.
•	Tape Cassettes: everything big, analog and noisy sounding; including cassettes, VHS and Betamax tapes being handled, inserted, and removed from various recorders and devices. Foley sounds of Walkman buttons, cassette and tape cases/boxes. Hums, hisses, ejecting and rewinding sounds from tapes and cassettes. Jack cables being inserted and removed from a tape deck.
•	Vinyl: long takes of vinyl record grain loops, dozens of different needle drops, and over thirty audio files of genuine scratching, slowing down and speeding up sounds (with no digital pitch shifting or other software involved). Also includes foley sounds of records being removed and inserted into sleeves."

Sound Design demo by Francisco Godinho (@franciscomsgodinho) utilizing Sonic Bat's samples taken from "Vintage Radio".

About the Sound Library:

"Vintage Radio includes long takes of AM and FM frequency browsing, along foley content featuring all the buttons and switches present on this old-school stereo receiver.

The AM static and noise recordings have a warmth rarely found on modern radios, perfect for use in military settings or obscure transmissions in spy flicks. The FM browsing sounds feature traditional rapid radio station switching with garbled voices, brief musical stings, and a mix of cleaner, harsher static and noise suitable for more modern contexts. 

Both the AM and FM browsing takes also include extended segments where I experiment with this stereo receiver’s equalizer. These takes possess a certain musicality, as the frequency boosts and reductions introduce additional variation to the aforementioned neutral recordings.

To complement this library, there are foley recordings of all the buttons, faders and switches on this stereo receiver’s front panel."

Francisco Godinho - Demo 1 (SBvr)

Sound Design demo by Thibault Csukonyi from Bruits. Studio (https://bendaudio.com/work-bruits/) utilizing Sonic Bat's samples taken from "Sci-Fi Interface Construction Kit Vol. II".

About the Sound Library:

"The Sci-Fi Interface series returns once again with yet another packed library filled with fresh frequency modulated content, achieved with newly found techniques and approaches.

Aimed at complementing Vol. I of this series, Vol. II shifted its focus towards more unconventional sounds, on the noisier spectrum of science fiction User Interfaces. You’ll find a lot of robotic conversations, raspy glitches, insectoid clicking, amongst other oddities, created with experimental software pieces and semi-modular synthesizers. All of these sounds have been finely cut, edited and mixed, created with little to no use of external effects, ready to be dropped onto any given audiovisual project.

165 minutes of varied atmospheres and textures are also present, ranging from simple resonant ambiences, to digital sounding engines, to just plain harsh data processing sounds. Combined with over 900 one-shot sound effects, you’ll quickly settle behind the joysticks of your newly built space-ship, ready for an intergalactic journey beyond the sonic realms."
