Sound Ex Machina releases "Crowds" SFX library of crowd reactions and emotional responses

[Larry Shelby]

Sound Ex Machina has released Crowds, a SFX library of crowd reactions and emotional responses. Crowds SFX library contains a wide range of reactions and emotional responses varying from quiet crowds to roared battle cries to a large selection of exclamations generated by a group of passionate theatrical actors in indoor venues.

Apart from the vocalizations, they've also included recordings of more unusual crowd ambiances like people walking around the mics, falling down, sitting down and getting up, jumping around, marching, or just being present in the space.

Crowds library is split into the following two parts:

Small Groups: Includes small groups of up to 30 people which you can layer together and quickly create the sound of any sized realistic groups of people.

Large Crowds: Brings pre-designed, easy-to-use sounds of medium to large crowds in various types of reactions, moods, and surroundings.
