Footsteps

Every sound editor needs footsteps, but reusing the same sounds can get old fast. The more projects you do, the more you’ll realize the importance of finding just the right footsteps for each scene – and that means updating your Foley library. Crafted with care by sound artist Tom Efinger and his team at Red Hook Post, Footsteps is a comprehensive collection of detailed, lifelike footstep recordings featuring a vast array of footwear, surfaces, mic perspectives, and extras. With easy access to such a wide range of footsteps, you’re sure to find the right sound for any situation.

The footwear selection ranges from everyday options like sneakers, boots, bare feet, leather shoes, and heels to more obscure choices like flip flops, and cowboy boots. A range of different-sounding surfaces is represented, including concrete, wood, linoleum, carpet, grass, gravel, and metal. The library includes isolated, close-up recordings as well as more distant and worldized options recorded from downstairs or behind a door. However, what makes this library truly unique is the range of performances, from running and walking at various paces to shuffles, scuffs, cleats sliding on dirt and leaves crunching underfoot. And it’s not just footsteps – you’ll also get useful extras like crowds dancing, baseball games in action, and more.

Each sound file is embedded with rich, UCS-standardized metadata to help you find the exact sound effect you need, from “Footsteps Behind Door of Roomy Office” to “Footsteps On Concrete Flip Flops Running.” Advanced metadata fields ensure compatibility across any database search platform such as SoundQ, Soundly, Soundminer, BaseHead, Netmix, Workspace (Pro Tools), Find Tool (Media Composer), Media Bay (Nuendo), Reaper, Adobe Premiere, and beyond.
