2022: PSE Year in Review

Written by David Watkins | Dec 20, 2022 2:00:00 PM

Take a look back with Team PSE.

Nothing says “Happy New Year” like a little nostalgia. 2022 was one for the books. We saw our PSE team grow, launched exciting new sound effects libraries and software features, and got a chance to help thousands of creators dive deeper into their passion for sonic exploration. 

Before we step into 2023, let’s take a look back and show you what PSE was up to this year…

 

 

Web App Launch

The beta version of our web app is live at app.prosoundeffects.com – this is the new place to buy individual sounds from the entire PSE Library. This is the first step toward a unified Pro Sound Effects platform.

Feedback is welcome! Try it out and let us know what you think via the Feedback form in the top right corner. Read more here

 

 

New Library Releases

We released 23 exclusive sound effects libraries this year featuring inspiring new sounds in hundreds of categories.

A big focus for this year was creating more content to better equip and educate creators. Out of the 32 blog posts and tutorials we published, here are some of our most popular articles:
