    ‘Suburban Wilderness III’ is the third library in my series of long-term recordings from a German allotment environment. This remote area, surrounded by forest, features cottages, ponds, and an abundance of natural sounds. The library captures a blend of suburban, residential, and forest ambiences.

    ‘Suburban Wilderness III’ includes 36 unique ambiences recorded in Germany during spring, specifically in January 2023, from 1 p.m. to 11 a.m. the following day. From these 23 hours of recordings, I have carefully edited and curated the best moments, creating a 4 GB auditory journey through the afternoon, evening, night, morning, and midday hours in this residential forest setting.

    To capture the profound silence of the night, I used a matched pair of Rode NT1-A microphones with exceptionally low noise, paired with a Tascam HD-P1 recorder.

    The total duration of the library is approximately 3.5 hours, with most ambiences ranging from 5 to 10 minutes. Some are longer, while a few are shorter.

    Each multichannel recording (or position/place of recording) is in a separate folder. Each channel/recording is Metadata tagged with description of equipment/format/character. Each multichannel recording (each folder) consist of:

    –        4 Ch STEREO Mix, all channels mixed together (surface and underwater), ready for use stereo file

    –        Ch 01-MID, mono file, front/MID microphone-cardioid, RAW

    –        Ch 02-SIDE, mono file, SIDE microphone-figure of eight, RAW

    –        Ch 03-HYDRO LEFT, mono file, Left side hydrophone, RAW

    –        Ch 04-HYDRO Right, mono file, Right side hydrophone, RAW

    –        STEREO HYDRO Mix, stereo file, two hydrophones mixed together, ready to use underwater/ice stereo file

    –        STEREO (surface) file

    You can use mono channels to create your own mix (or use it as mono) or use a stereo-ready to use file (or combination of both).

    Using mono recordings/files for multichannel mixing can be very creative for SFX, or maybe in film, for example, to accompany first surface (frame) and then underwater (frame) separated, or half submerged camera (frame).

    For mixing stereo (surface) files (microphones) you will need an MS matrix (plugin). This is a very creative tool which allows you to control the amount of stereo field or front to side ratio of the sound captured. If you are not familiar with MS there is a ready to use stereo (surface) file and you can use/mix it with underwater/ice file(s).

    (for MS: Sennheiser MKH40 – front microphone/cardioid and Sennheiser MKH40-side microphone/ figure of eight.) Hydrophones are Aquarian audio H2a XLR.
