Material Destruction

Create complex, dynamic destruction sound effects with Material Destruction: a comprehensive library of debris, wreckage, impacts, and more from Emmy®-winning sound artist Matt Yocum (Secret Level, The Last of Us). Featuring raw, processed, and designed sounds sourced from a variety of natural and manmade materials, this library has everything you need to tear up your timeline with larger-than-life destruction.

The library is divided into four main categories: Earth includes rocks, boulders, and shattering concrete plus cascades of dirt, sand, and dust; Metal sounds range from heavy clangs to hollow impacts and ear-splitting scrapes; Wood encompasses cracking branches, falling logs, and splintering lumber; and Glass includes shattering windows, ceramic breaks, and the tinkling of tiny shards. An additional Synth category delivers massive bass drops, room-shaking sub impacts, and distorted crackles – perfect for layering into impacts, earthquakes, and gritty friction sounds.

Material Destruction includes carefully cleaned raw recordings for maximum realism, analog processed versions for added depth and dimension, and ready-to-use designed effects that sound massive and cinematic right out of the box. All sources were recorded in stereo with multiple microphone perspectives, plus a Sanken ultrasonic mic to capture extended frequencies. Presented in high-resolution, these sounds are ideal for creative pitch manipulation and time-stretching.
