Introducing Auditory FX: A New Sonic Identity from a Seasoned Pro
After more than three decades shaping the sound of radio as both a top-tier producer and voiceover artist, Steve Stone has stepped into a new role—curator of elite sound libraries. Auditory FX is his latest venture, offering a fresh take on sonic branding. These libraries are crafted specifically for professionals working in radio imaging, TV and film trailers, podcasting, broadcasting, and digital content creation.
At launch, Auditory FX introduced three distinct libraries: Munitions, Tentacles, and Protocol 1. Each is built with a specific purpose in mind but shares a common thread—clean, powerful, and highly usable audio assets that fit easily into professional workflows. Let’s take a closer look at what each collection brings to the table.
Munitions
The Munitions library is a 100-track offering designed for those who need impactful, polished, and imaginative sonic elements. It’s broken down into categories that reflect a wide range of creative uses. Drone Clones delivers low, atmospheric textures that can build tension or add depth to transitions. Grandiose Glitches and Hypertrophic Impacts pack a punch for moments that demand bold attention such as for promos or dramatic intros. There’s also Nano Beets and Wake ’n Breaks, which cater to rhythmic editing and modern pacing, while Visor Risers provide those crucial build-up moments that drive anticipation in trailers and teasers.
Tentacles
Tentacles offers 50 curated tracks tuned for fast-paced audio environments. This pack is ideal if you need high-quality branding FX in a hurry—quick stabs, transitions, and atmospheres. It is designed as a grab-and-go toolbox: reliable, efficient, and ready to slide into your timeline. Tentacles is especially suited for those working in radio or podcasting who want quick access to fresh, distinctive sounds that don’t require much tweaking.
Protocol 1
Protocol 1 is Auditory FX’s flagship release. With 325 tracks, it’s the most comprehensive offering in the Auditory FX lineup. Protocol 1 gives you deep access to an array of sonic categories, from the eerie and spacious tones of Cerebral Shifts and Interstellar Debris, to the punchy, energetic Incendiary Strikes and Seismic Adjustments. There’s a creative blend of synthetic and organic textures throughout—Looped Remnants offers rhythmic patterns for seamless underscoring, while Micro Aggressions and Moderate Disruptors are excellent for crafting edgy, attention-grabbing IDs or transitions. Available in both 24bit/96kHz and 16bit/44.1kHz WAV formats, Protocol 1 is fully royalty-free and flexible enough for just about any media production scenario.
