File Effects

 

File Effects features over 250 sound effects on 10 CDs most of which are in the three-minute duration range. Some of the fabulous textures you'll find range from modern computer offices and train stations to footsteps and squeaky wooden floors, Hong Kong harbor hooters, traffic, moaning wind, and as you would expect, wonderful interior ambiences. File Effects has a distinctly European flavor and why not? Paul Hamblin and Mark Bygrave are two of the finest British sound recordists, and they take the time to record the sound right!
