British Stately Home
'British Stately Home' by SH Sound Design Ltd spotlights a late-18th-century neo-classical mansion. It is a collection of 256 files recorded at 24bit/96kHz with a mixture of mono, stereo, LCR and 5.0 files. It has sounds of doors, windows, fireplaces, clocks, drips, keys and various unusual period-specific props, often from multiple perspectives. It also includes impulse responses from the building's more colorfully reverberant rooms and some very still ambiences. This was a collaboration between two award-winning sound designers, Stefan Henrix (Chernobyl, Batman Begins) and Steve Fanagan (Room, Frank).
Spirit Of Sound Effects: Thunder Volume 1
'Spirit Of Sound Effects: Thunder Volume 1' by Unity Gain Sound was recorded in 1988 to DAT with an ORTF pair of Schoeps MK-4s and features a lightning strike from less than 12 feet away! Some of this material was released through 'The Hollywood Edge Signature Series' back in 1993 and the rest was considered "unusable" due to the rain. Not so with Izotope RX 7 Advanced. It was painstakingly remastered and has been released at 96kHz with Soundminer metadata. Come hear the utter clarity and crispness of this thunder as it should be.
