Create rich atmospheres and settings with musical instrument effects
As sound designers, we are constantly seeking ways to enhance our sonic arsenal and create immersive experiences. A comprehensive sound effects library like Smartsound Cloud is an absolutely invaluable tool, providing a vast array of sounds to enhance your projects, whether they be films, video games, or podcasts.
Our latest upload contains a great deal of atonal (and a few tonal) musical instrument sound effects that can be used to add and build tension, layer with other sounds to add a nice percussive or tonal texture, or even use them in a sampler and add them as further musical elements.
Of course, these aren’t musical instruments with how you’re used to using them.
What’s included?
We’ve included in this upload all kinds of string sounds, spring stretches, gongs, and even chimes. An excellent collection for minimal, atmospheric settings – the gongs remind me of old Kung Fu movies – and for random tension building moments.
Here’s the list:
- Guitar string effects
- Frog guiro
- Gongs
- Harmonica notes
- Violin sounds
- Spring stretching
- Chimes
- Chuniri bowed chords
- Musical pads
- Rhythmic percussion
