The Sounds that Land Sync Placements


After listening to thousands of demo submissions every year, you start to hear the patterns.

Same styles. Same libraries. Same recycled sounds.

When you're competing for sync placements, that “sameness” just doesn't cut it anymore.

What's up? I'm Nathan Fields. I've worked on music and sound design for over 400 films, trailers, TV shows, ads, and games. After a decade behind the scenes, my team and I at Rareform Audio built something for composers and producers who are serious about standing out and landing sync placements.


It's called Echelon.

A cinematic sound pack for music creators who want to craft bigger, better, and more original tracks.

This isn't just another loop or sample pack. These are tools built from real sync briefs—designed to be infinitely customizable and help you feel confident in your sound choices.

So here’s what you get:

  • The Synth Suite: Serum Presets
    127 custom-crafted serum patches for cinematic use. Full macro control. Full playable range.
    We built these patches for Serum because they’re infinitely tweakable and fully moldable to your own sound.

  • The Synth Suite: WAV Version
    Matching WAV exports of those same presets. These give you flexibility to manipulate the sounds differently than you can with presets.

  • Trailer Fundamentals Kit
    21 essential trailer effects—hits, risers, whooshes—designed to add instant cinematic polish to your tracks.
    These are core building blocks, not fluff. I use these in my own workflow constantly.

You don’t need a ton of sounds—you just need the right ones. These presets work with Serum 1, Serum 2, and the WAV files work in any DAW: Ableton, Logic, Cubase, FL Studio, and more.

Your sound selection is the DNA of your track.

If that’s off, nothing else will land.

Echelon gives you a real foundation—not just a static preset or one-shot WAV pack. These are sounds you can build on. Bend. Push. Shape. Make your own. They’re top-tier right out of the box—but they’re also launching points for originality, not dead ends.

We've helped shape the sound of hundreds of global campaigns. And now, for the first time ever, we're handing that power to you.

Get your music movie-ready.

This is Echelon.
