"A big thanks to the team at Impact Soundworks for putting inspiration at my fingertips! Your sample libraries are in heavy use in my Orchestral, Rock and Pop templates, and always visible in my top-tier Cue-specific Kontakt. Layering your Shreddage libraries on top of my live guitar tracks creates so much depth, and I get so much out of so many of your other libraries - too many to name. A+ programming and sonic goodness gang!"

"I'm a keyboard player -- I can't even make a REAL guitar sound convincing. But Telos and Rosette are my go-to guitars because they sound incredible, sit well in a mix and are so easy to configure to my personal playing habits. I'm constantly discovering new ways to play them and they've saved my ass more times than I can count. And the pedal Steel is still my favorite library of its kind for Country, Folk and organic layering behind synths."

"Impact Soundworks' libraries are truly in a league of their own. I've been a long time user for as long as I can remember and it would take me a whole other producing lifetime to build the depths of these libraries on my own. As a Kontakt enthusiast who owns just about every library out there I can confidently say that Impact Soundworks' libraries stand in the top 1%, and that's saying something! No snake oil here. Just meticulously assembled libraries that are overflowing with creative sound design options and inspiration igniting presets."

About the Library

How do you deliver realistic, effective, Hollywood-level foley with a limited budget and limited time? With more independent movies, games, and video productions than ever before, there’s more demand and higher standards for high-quality audio. It can be challenging to meet these expectations as an individual or small team.

Performing and recording everything yourself is a painstaking process that takes equipment, time, and practice. If you purchase a generic foley library, you’ll probably need to spend a lot of time chopping up and re-aligning sprawling audio files… then do it again if the video changes. Sometimes, this takes more time than just recording yourself. Back to square one.



A Foley Library That Actually Saves Time

The Cinema Sound Foley Library offers the best of both worlds. With this custom Kontakt instrument, you can quickly audition thousands of sounds in seconds, and implement them on the fly by ‘performing’ them on a MIDI keyboard.

With easy layering, keyswitching, per-sample editing, and FX — all within a single UI — editing these performances couldn’t be easier. This has extensive advantages over other methods of foley creation and design:

1. Massive time savings in implementing and auditioning foley sounds, because they’re already collated, edited, organized, mastered, and processed for maximum punch in the mix.

2. User-friendly, versatile options for performance, with easy switching and crossfading between layers all within a single MIDI channel.

3. A huge selection of categorized sounds includes the bulk of what every production encounters: footsteps, clothing, and skin.

4. Footsteps with multiple tempi and intensities, so you can perfectly match the action on screen, as well as program each heel-toe-slide-pickup separately.

5. Easy layering of sounds to create super juicy and punchy effects, or super-ethereal ambiences, within seconds.

6. Full ADSR envelope controls to create “Distance to Camera” mixing, and all controls are automatable from your DAW.

With Cinema Sound Foley Library, you can add Hollywood-level, immersive foley to any production with a fraction of the time and budget previously required. We hope it helps you bring your work to life in record-breaking time and with incredible realism.



The Recordings

Download the complete Content Layout PDF here to see all included categories

Cinema Sound Foley Library was primarily recorded with the Røde NTG-8 shotgun mic, which, thanks to its beautiful frequency response and powerful off-axis rejection, gives the recordings a very “on-set” feeling.

You’ll find this library blends far more readily with dialog recorded on lavaliers and shotgun mics and brings a far more cohesive frequency response to production audio in the mix. Exterior recordings were recorded with the Røde NTG-3  with a similarly world-famous sound that allows foley samples to blend wonderfully with on-set dialog.

All samples were captured at 192/96 kHz/24 bits and audio was processed at that sample rate. It was only downsampled to 96kHz for final export. We implemented state-of-the-art noise and artifact removal to further clean up the recordings and added a proprietary neuro-passive aural EQ curve on all samples to enhance their use in complex mixing.

Using these pristine high bit and sample rates means virtually no digital noise buildup or harsh artifacts, even with lots of processing and pitch shifting!



Console Modular FX Rack & Mixer

The sounds themselves are only one part of our foley library. You’ll also gain a powerful mixer and modular effects rack so you can customize these foley sounds with a variety of subtle to dramatic effects. With Console, you can make subtle adjustments to tone and space, or go hyper-realistic with sounds that really punch through the mix.

You’ll find multiple EQs (digital and analog-style), compressors, spatial FX, modulation FX, amps, distortion pedals, reverbs, and a selection of over 30 custom cabinet IRs! Using Console, you can easily save and load FX chains or presets between projects or even different Console-enabled ISW instruments.

Testimonial – Jimmy ‘Big Giant Circles’ Hinson (Black Ops 4, Borderlands 2, Threes)

“Between Shreddage, Super Audio Cart, Juggernaut, and Mega Brass I don’t remember the last time I haven’t used an Impact Soundworks instrument in a track. The attention to detail is astonishing and it’s all so easy to use out of the box, which is a big deal.”
