Nature Kit

NTHNL Sound have journeyed far and wide to bring this unique selection of sound fx and textures to your sampling devices. As well as some great weather and water soundscapes, there are some fantastic percussive one-shots and some highly usable vocal chants and yelps – perfect for Trap-style beats.

Hey! Thanks for checking out my Nature Kit. I recorded these sounds on a trip across the US. They have the names of the locations they were recorded at listed on each sample. This pack includes no loops, but has a bunch of awesome percussion sounds (many of which you can substitute for more conventional (snare, hat, tom, kick, etc) sounds. I also included some flute samples recorded outside in spaces. -NTHNL

Kung Fu Sound FX Vol 1

One of my personal favourite packs on RouteNote Create, Kung Fu Sound Effects is essential business. These highly convincing sound effects are inspired by the golden era of Kung Fu flix circa the 1970s There is much confrontational dialogue on offer as well as the various sounds of Kung-Fu Fighting (Apparently everyone was indulging in it back in the 70’s) So if you want to give your beats a Shaolin twist a-la the Wu-Tang Clan get this pack in your My Sounds folder.

Kung Fu Sound Effects contains 92 hits, punches, swords, knives & dialogue samples to use in your productions. My secret weapon was an old VHS recorder that I used to re sample the pristine audio, degrading the signal until it reached the early 70’s to get that period vibe, this attention to detail was the key element in distinguishing this pack from the others out there.
