String Sound Effects

String sound effects for both kinds of string: the sort you play and the sort under tension. On the played side there are string textures for horror and trailers, worked into risers and jump scares, plus violin and double bass played as raw material. On the other side, wires and ropes creak under load until they give. Bowstrings too.

The designed libraries put strings to work in horror and trailers, folding them into risers, textures and sudden hits alongside screams and metal. For something rawer there's violin and double bass recorded as source, and a prepared Piano, one with objects wedged between its strings. Plucked sounds have their own shelf in Pluck. The tension side is foley through and through: cables, wires and ropes creaking and cracking, some taken right up to the point where they break. That suits rope bridges and ship rigging, and any scene where something is about to give way.
