Choose your Version:
Clocks and Mechanics is the ultimate tool to design mechanical processes and tell stories with the ticking, chiming and ringing of clocks. Whether you have to create tiny mechanical movements, rattling gadgets or even large gear mechanisms like steampunk machines, this library will cover it all.
You will get recordings of grandfather clocks, wall clocks, desk clocks, alarm clocks, pocket watches and many small mechanisms, all carefully edited and natural sounding. Included are various chimes, bells, loopable ticking at different speeds, detailed clockwork and gear mechanisms as well as rattling, snapping, clicking and handling of spare parts. All sounds were captured in mono and stereo using the LCR recording technique.
We spent a lot of time planning this library and did recording sessions in the workshops of various clockmakers. The result is a range of 440 soundfiles with more than 2300 individual sounds, making this collection one of the biggest clock libraries available on the market.

Artur Baryshev (Sound Designer) (verified owner) –
One of the most detailed libraries out there! It contains a huge amount of carefully recorded clock-related material, which can be used in a wide variety of situations: not only for clocks, but for small mechanical things, steampunk robots, UI, ambience, motion design and the list goes on. Also, this library contains the biggest amount of ticks I ever saw. Nice!

I needed to create an otherworldly soundscape for an upcoming project themed around time, and found my library severely lacking in high quality clock sounds for the task. Clocks and Mechanics is a treasure trove of intricate and well recorded ticking, ringing, clinking, and otherwise mechanical source material to work with. It has made a nice addition to my library, and provides excellent material for all kinds of projects needing that mechanical touch. This library easily scores a 5 out of 5 stars from me!

The Clocks and Mechanics library by Just Sound Effects stands out from other libraries I have due to the high quality of the recorded objects. Without a doubt what I love most is the purity and definition of their sounds, I have used them in my compositions and soundtracks with surprising results.
