Each sound in this library was created with narrative purpose while crafting the soundtracks for specific feature film projects. Inspire creative storytelling with King’s dedication to emotive, high-quality recordings – from military vehicles to low rumbles “worldized” through large subwoofers or speakers in mix stages and warehouses. We worked together with King to curate a library that was both comprehensive and accessible – listen to a small sample from a variety of categories.
