    Environments & Ambiences Atacama Desert Play Track 40 sounds included, 246 mins total From: $190

    Atacama Desert is a collection of stereo and quad soundscapes recorded in the barren but amazingly beautiful desert plateau of Western Chile. This is the most arid desert on Earth, with some weather stations here having never recorded any rain. It’s a breathtaking place with incredible silence and powerful winds. The soundscapes in this collection were recorded around giant rock pillars, endless rock plains and fields of sparse dry vegetation.

    This library is the perfect way to portray the barren expanse of the Atacama desert. Some of the soundscapes recorded are the lightest of desert airs. The others feature wind, from light and soft to heavy and gusty. Lastly, some of the recordings also include flies buzzing around.

    This library was recorded in several locations on the border between Chile, Argentina and Bolivia . Reaching this part of the world was no easy task, as you can see in the second part of the teaser video.

  • Nature & Countryside Ambiences African Desert Play Track 29+ sounds included, 227 mins total $170

    African Desert is a collection of immersive stereo soundscapes recorded in the remotest parts of the Namib desert. It covers a variety of locations, from sand dunes and canyons to desert pavement and rocky outcrops.

    The purpose of this collection is to portray the soundscape of the Namib desert in all its sparseness and beauty. Some of these recordings are not much more than very soft wind. A few of the included soundscapes feature sand being blown over the surface of dunes. There’s a variety of wildlife calls too, from insects like cicadas, crickets or flies to barking geckos and occasional birds. This is not a wildlife library though, as the focus is more on the lifeless beauty of this mostly barren landscape.

    BEAUTIFUL ECHOES FOR ABSOLUTELY AUTHENTIC AMBIENCES

    Canyons have bright reflections and a deep resonant echo, making them a Holy Grail for nature sound libraries. The key to using Canyons to produce compelling sound designs is paying attention to the echoes as they vanish into a seemingly never ending space, allowing them to change and transform as they flow down a rock-walled corridor to ultimately disappear below the threshold of hearing.

Do not be afraid to use harsh insects, driving winds, or even startle your listeners with a sudden, loud, unexplained alarm call of a strange bird nearby. Then settle them with expansive concerts, such as a reassuring gecko chorus composed of thousands of point-source clicks in step with the setting sun. All this is included in DESERTS – WEATHER & WILDLIFE which gives sound designers the easiest access to super-authentic soundscapes.

    COVERING EVERY ANGLE

    We offer you super-clean sounds from different deserts (temperate vs tropical), different times of day (morning, day, dawn) and different weather conditions. In addition you get very rare and clean sounds of desert wildlife.

    Key highlights include:

    • Assault Rifles: Engage with the refined sounds of the IWI Tavor Bullpup series and the raw power of the Rugar AR-556.

    • This library offers you a collection of sounds from a fascinating species. I didn’t know one parrot could make such a wide variety of vocalizations and it was a joy to hear them for the first time as I got to know Myrtle over several sessions. I hope you enjoy them too. Thanks for listening.

    • Visceral screeches
    • Alarm calls
    • Playful squawks and sqeaks
    • Musical whistles
    • Whooshing wing flaps
    RECORDING STORIES:
    • A friend of mine in Philly recently got an African Grey Parrot. These parrots can live 40-60 years as pets, so this is a serious long-term commitment. People have to put these parrots in their will because your parrot often outlives you!
    • Myrtle the parrot is an adolescent and is discovering her voice. I was lucky to be able to spend 4 separate session with her as she explored the full range of her vocal chords.
    • I was only the second human Myrtle had spent time with, so she was very nervous during the first session. I mostly captured alarm calls and nervous screeches.
    • However, as I returned for more sessions, she became more comfortable and made a wide variety of happy and playful calls. My favorites was the clicks she makes that sound like an alien language.
    • Lessons Learned – I recorded Myrtle in Double Mid/Side, left the mics on a stand near her, and then backed away. Because I recording in surround, when she moved off axis, I could rotated the surround image in Harpex to center the final stereo rendering included in this library. By leaving the mic in one place Myrtle got comfortable and I was able to capture joyful and playful sounds from this captivating species of parrot.

  • Environments & Ambiences Maine: Rain Play Track 318 mins total From: $90

    DESCRIPTION:
    • In Maine: Rain, get an expansive collection of forest rain from the pristine wilderness of northern Maine. Hear soothing rain deep in the temperate forest. Hear massive post-rain drips plopping and tiny delicate droplets gently landing on autumn leaves. Hear soothing wind in white pines and the magical sound of a million raindrops on birch and poplar leaves.
    • This library offers you a large collection of temperate forest rain. I hope you enjoy listening to the natural music of the weather as it sings through the woods of northern Maine.

    KEY FEATURES:
    • Zero wildlife of any kind in these recordings. You’ll only hear rain.
    • Light, moderate, and heavy rain
    • Deciduous and coniferous forests
    • Rain on fallen autumn leaves
    • Delicate morning showers
    • Massive splatting drops
    • Daytime and nighttime storms
    • Zero thunder
    RECORDING STORIES – HOW TO RECORD RAIN:
    • All recordings made deep in the forest using local foliage rain canopies and waterproofed Cinela blimps.
    • “Tree-ears” are a pseudo binaural microphone setup created by taping two omni microphones (in this case LOM Usi) on opposite sides of a tree about the width of a human head. The technique makes for a wonderfully immersive stereo image similar to binaural. But sometimes rodents don’t like you taping mics to their tree! I lost some Usi cables to an angry chipmunk. Luckily he chewed threw the cables after it stopped raining :)
    • “Tree-ears” need rain protection so that the drips did not thump on the Cinela LEO 20N blimp. My solution was to taped local foliage to the tree trunk about 12 inches above the mics. The leaves catch the raindrops so they don’t thunk on the blimp. This worked wonderfully! If you try this, be careful not to tape the local foliage closer than about 12 inches. If the leaves are too close the splats on the rain canopy leaves don’t blend well with the surround atmosphere. See included product pictures for examples.

  • Animal Sound Effects Angry Chipmunk Play Track 150 sounds included, 13 mins total From: $45

    DESCRIPTION:
    • In Angry Chipmunk, get a maniacal collection of enraged rodents. Hear fierce repetitive chirps and visceral trills so close they can’t help but startle. Hear frantic scuttling movement and barks that sound like villainous laughter when pitched down.
    • This library offers you a collection of sounds from a rodent with loads of character. Northern Maine has the highest density of angry chipmunks of any place I have recorded. Chipmunks are incredibly territorial and they really did not like me recording near their trees. They even chewed through some of my cables to show their displeasure! But it was worth it to hear their scrappy vocalizations up close. I hope you enjoy them too. Thanks for listening.

    KEY FEATURES:
    • Angry territorial calls
    • Close and distant perspectives
    • Trills
    • Barks
    • Screams
    • Chirps
    • Frenetic scuttling movement
    RECORDING STORIES AND TIPS:
    • Chipmunks and other rodents are much more active in coniferous groves. They love the nuts dropped by the white pine trees in Maine.
    • That said, be careful when leaving drop rigs in coniferous groves. Plan to lose some cables to chipmunks and mice that don’t like you mounting microphones in their neck of the woods. I’ve had them gnaw on cables, dry bags, and even my microphone blimp! Luckily the rain stopped before they did their gnawing, so it didn’t ruin the recordings!
    • When doing long cable runs in coniferous groves, try using garden stakes to elevate the cable so that it isn’t running along the ground. Getting the cable off the ground 30 centimeters or so tends to discourage gnawing. This can also be useful so you don’t get sticky sap all over your cables.
    • Chipmunks love to startle you. Many a time, I was listening to a peaceful forest soundscape when one decided to slowly creep out on a branch right near my mics and then suddenly blast my ears with a barks, trills, and screams. Scares me half to death every time. The joys of field recording :)
