If you’re producing cinematic, EDM, or trailer music, a great gong sample can transform your mix — adding depth, tension, and impact. Whether you’re creating atmospheric intros, meditative textures, or dramatic transitions, gongs offer that unmistakable resonance that elevates any production. But not all gong packs are equal. Many use synthetic recreations that sound flat or artificial. To achieve true depth and warmth, you need recordings of real gongs captured with precision and care.
Why Producers Use Gong Samples
For centuries, gongs have been used in ceremonies and meditation for their deep, resonant power—and today, they bring that same emotional intensity to modern music production.
In cinematic scoring, they add dramatic tension and grandeur; in EDM and ambient tracks, they create smooth transitions and atmospheric builds; and in game audio, they enhance immersion with rich, evolving resonance. The secret lies in authenticity—a real gong recorded in a real acoustic space delivers warmth and depth that no synthetic imitation can match.
The Best Gong Sample Pack for Producers
The Gong Sound Pack by Carved Culture is crafted for producers who demand authenticity and depth. Featuring 27 professionally recorded WAV samples from gongs sourced across China, Vietnam, Bali, and Thailand, each tone was captured with different mallets to create a diverse range of textures—from deep resonant strikes for cinematic builds to short, dampened tones for rhythmic precision and smooth meditative sounds for ambient or world music.
Every sample is 100% royalty-free, recorded in-house with premium microphones and meticulous editing, giving you a studio-ready sound that instantly elevates your productions.
Bundle Options for Maximum Value
While the Gong Sound Pack is available individually for just £15, producers looking for more variety can unlock greater value with our Gamelan Sound Pack—featuring metallic, world-inspired tones—or the Complete Sound Effect Pack Bundle, which includes over 1,000 professional samples from drums, shakers, kalimbas, gongs, and more for £500 (a 20% saving).
Every pack is fully compatible with major DAWs such as Ableton, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Cubase, and Pro Tools, giving you instant access to authentic, studio-ready sounds that elevate any project.
