Overview

Packed with cinematic recordings that range from visceral to peculiar, Whitehead Collection: Vol. 1 is the debut library from award-winning sound artist Dave Whitehead (Dune Part 1 & 2, District 9, The Lord of the Rings trilogy). With more than 30 years of experience crafting sounds for blockbuster films, Whitehead has mastered the art of cinematic sound design without ever losing his curiosity for strange and unexpected sounds. Now, he’s opening up his personal vault for creators everywhere.

This one-of-a-kind general library offers a broad palette of modern, high-resolution sound effects ranging from must-have categories to inspiring oddities you won’t find anywhere else. Immerse yourself in lush New Zealand forests, bustling malls and factories, or a quiet hospital at night. Get up close with horses, pigs, dogs, and cicadas. Feel the power of multi-mic’d shotguns, pistols, and military rocket artillery. Explore new possibilities with vocal-sounding blowtorches, sizzling metal textures, and industrial machines.

Offering the perfect balance of high-utility sounds for everyday editing and novel selections to jumpstart your creativity, Whitehead Collection: Vol. 1 delivers coverage and inspiration while ensuring your work stands out. See for yourself why Dave Whitehead’s sounds are beloved by directors like Peter Jackson, Neill Blomkamp, and Denis Villeneuve.
