All Foley Stage files contain metadata for a perfect integration into Soundminer.

The boxed version includes a USB drive for Mac & PC.

Ambience
Typical, diverse ambiences from different cities and villages in China. They are well recorded and treated for movie issues. Due to their length and variation, these sounds make great loops as with games.

Electronic Products
Very tiny sounds and noises of different home electronic products. It's the micro world. Different hotel room drones (air fans and conditioners). For example, different DVD drives of Mac Book Pro laptops over the years. Not only perfect for creating Sci-fi sounds, but also for UI, life scenes or documentaries.

Fireworks
Fireworks and fire crackers, both single sounds and ambiences. This kind of sound only happens in China - and nobody recorded it before! The sound of the most important festivals for Chinese people, that can be used for cannon fire and super clean battlefield action as well.

Foley Actions
The first professional SFX library of its kind - real Chinese Kung Fu action with hard impacts. All in multiple types and takes. Both real action and foley sounds. Our attempt to create real Kung Fu sounds, that both Western and Eastern people will find authentic.

Foley Cold Weapons
Cold weapons from Chinese history: Sword, spear, fingers, and fists were recorded and processed to forge authentic Asian sounds, even for western film productions. Merge these sounds with the synthesizer pack to create magical Kung Fu sounds for movies and games.

Footsteps
This pack was specifically designed for games like MMORPG, RTS or FPS. Aside from typical step sounds, there are some highly unique ones, too. At "footsteps", for example, you will find countless step- and movement-sounds in full armour.

Creatures
Character sounds, from a small alien to the big boss. Several moods like angry, attack, hurt or dying. Creatures also features breath- and bizarre whisper sounds, perfect for ghosts or monsters. Combine Creatures with the Toys, Life Properties or Synthesizers pack to create abstract creature FX.

Life Properties
Small materials of everyday life, recorded with an exceptional microphone technology. These are the sources of making Sci-fi, CG FX or musical FX. All multiple types and takes. These materials are often used for games and movies. Typical video game demands were considerred in the post-production.

Materials
Materials offers a wide range of several material-sounds, like iron, wood, bamboo or stone. Multiple microphone positions were recorded and every sound was logically organised in specific groups. These sounds perfectly suit special FX, Sci-Fi, Soundscope and of course general sound design productions.

Synthesizer
This huge pack mainly contains 4 types of sounds: different energy sounds, signals and UI sounds, Sci-fi sounds, big whooshes and special swishes. The energy sounds contain rich variations and are created with an analog modular system with special controls.

Tools
Sounds of several tools and utilities of the common life. Instead of always including the room sound, like most libraries do, does our library offer both the dry and the ambience sound. A very useful library for sound designers, no matter if it is for a game or film-project.

Toys
This library contains more than 20 kinds of battery-driven toys, as well as Chinese toys like bamboo-snakes. Brilliant sounds for Sci-Fi, Creature-Design or CG FX.

India
All sounds were recorded in India, carefully edited and well balanced - very useful for feature films, games or documentries. Sounds like the clean rattle of old trains or religious festivals. All recorded in long takes, using close-mic techniques.

Waters

In all the existing libraries, water sounds too physical and without any emotional or colorful taste. It is just the sound of water. But water is flowing and moving. There should be some space for imagination and feeling. This concept of recording and editing water sounds can be very handy for documentries, movies or games.
