    We have collected the nature, cities, parks and rivers in a compact package. A library like this wouldn’t be complete without wallas where you can hear the Swedish language, in a café, shopping mall and train station.

    This comes down to over 220 minutes in 7.2 GB. Everything is recorded on a Sound Devices 633 with Neumann KM184 and Sennheiser MKH50 in Stereo (96 kHz, 24 Bit).

Dormant Village
 
  • Nature & Countryside Ambiences Dormant Village Play Track 6 sounds included, 12 mins total $36

    Discover the quaint charm of a sleepy Northern English town, on a cold and windy night, the sound of windchimes shimmering through the air.

    The Dormant Village Library was recorded in a small village in North Yorkshire, England, on the night before Christmas. It was very cold and windy, and there were almost no people around, as everyone was sipping hot cocoa in their homes.

    The library was recorded in a few different locations, some close to the little traffic that was still present, and some further away. The recordings were then polished and edited down to just about 12 minutes, preserving the essence of the location.

    In addition to the descriptive SoundMiner metadata embedded in the files, I have also added markers in iZotope RX, which can be read in some versions of SoundMiner, Reaper, etc.

    The markers indicate small sonic events, such as distant, melodic windchimes, or when the wind picks up, allowing you to understand what happens throughout the recording without having to listen to the whole thing.

    If you have any questions about this library, feel free to quickly send me an e-mail. I tend to reply within minutes.

In Motion
 
  • Whoosh Sound Effects In Motion Play Track 40 sounds included, 45 mins total $19.99

    IN MOTION is a collection of high quality time-lapse-like sound effects, indicating passage of time.

    40 high quality, carefully rendered, sound effects created with FILM and TV in mind.
    Enhance your time-lapses/hyper-lapses, Created original sound transitions to give your documentary
    that desirable, modern sound.

    RECORDED WITH: PCM D100, NTG3
    CREATED WITH: Sound Particles, Pro Tools

'In Motion' by PM:SFX is a collection of sounds that are great for your emotional time-lapses and scenes that go ‘from just a beginner to a pro’. With 40 designed sound effects, you’ll get sounds ranging from swirling cafés, abstract sirens, flowing traffic, echoing insects, television chatter, paranormal sounds, and more. Each sound is delivered in 96kHz, so you can slow them down or pitch bend them, too. Just remember, even Rocky had a montage!
 
Wind Elements – Interior
 
  • Wind Elements – Interior is 75 minutes/2.43 Gb of howling, blasting and fluttering wind, recorded from inside various buildings. 90 separate files – recorded in 24bit/96kHz using Sennheiser MKH & Primo EM172 microphones, and mastered in X/Y stereo. All files are UCS-compliant.

    This collection is the bigger, badder sequel to bestseller Howling Winds – Interior, with more of everything: fresh recordings, more types of wind, more locations and just more variation.

    Everything from violent blasting and howling, to gentle, caressing wind. Some with sleet and rain, cracking and creaking of window frames and roof materials, others with faint sound of rustling leaves or urban buzz.

    You get both long ambiances from various locations, as well as plenty of short files to sweeten up your mix.
    Some sounds have been eq’ed aggressively to enhance the feeling of being indoors, but very little processing has been applied otherwise. You’ll hear a bit of hiss here and there; I left it in because I felt noise reduction would take away too much character in those specific cases.

    You get:

    • Indoor wind sounds
    • Howling, blasting, fluttering – a bit of sleet & rain too
    • Lots of variations of each sound
    • Searchable file names
    • BWF Metadata embedded – with more included in CSV and ODS (OpenOffice) formats

     

'Wind Elements – Interior' by hzandbits has 75 minutes of wind as it warns building dwellers of coming storms. These recordings capture those moments we all hope for, with clear howling wind through the window cracks, gusts that make it seem like the door will fly right open, and the pitter patter of raindrops trying to make their way to the ground. You also get some gentler moments, a little sleet and rain, and excellent metadata. If your project starts with a dark and stormy night, this one is for you.
 
The Farm
 
  • The Farm is a sound library that I compiled about a year ago just for fun and I kept adding sounds recorded at the same location in the Canadian countryside at 4 different farms. During the recording session, I’ve been lucky enough to have met some fantastic people ready to share their passion for farming and pointing me out to what they felt was an essential part of their everyday soundscape.

    I had the chance to stumble on two late 50s John Deere tractors that where still functional and that marked the end of an era. It is a comprehensive farm sound library that is not just about tractors or animals.

    You will find, in the bonus section, 6 different footsteps surfaces each with a walk and run variation and some more. There are five main categories in this library: Ambiances, Animals, Footsteps, Misc (Various SFX) and Vehicles ready for creating a convincing farm soundscape for your project.

'The Farm' by Michaël Anctil is a collection of farm sounds from the peaceful Canadian countryside. With sounds of cows, sheep, dogs, cats, insects, and more, you’ll have all the elements for small farm atmospheres. You also get lots of sounds of footsteps from six different surfaces, two 1950s John Deere tractors, hay elevators, trucks, and even dairy machines! For a library that was informed by the source (the farmers), check this one out.

Blowing winds

    This library consists of several kinds of wind. There are recordings of soft wind in extremely quiet open spaces at winter time. Some recordings were made in a coniferous forest in winter time – and the library also features a few sounds of canes and leaves rustle.

    Recorded on a Schoeps MS set.

'Blowing winds' by Borys Peter has exactly what it says! These gentle and blustering winds gust through coniferous forests, dry grass, open spaces, and water reeds, giving you several types of textures that make this much more than a white noise library.
