Environments & Ambiences Quiet Spaces Play Track 47+ sounds included, 139 mins total From: $25

In films and documentaries there are often images of people in spaces speaking to other people, who are listening attentively.

The recordings of the person doing the talking are pristine from the set. The recordings of the rest of the room don’t exist. Room tones of empty spaces don’t possess movement and life that your soundtracks require for these situations.

Quiet Spaces is a collection of recordings of people gathered in rooms of various sizes and not talking

Libraries are a natural place to capture these environments, and so a high quality stealth kit made from a pair of Sanken CUB 01s discreetly placed from a backpack onto empty tables in various libraries. We also got access to a university campus right at the end of finals week where we recorded out in the open with a pair of MKH50s in ORTF. We captured an entire class taking a test, as well as various other lightly and sparsely populated spaces in and around campus.

Locations captured include:
• 5 different public libraries
• multiple perspectives per library
• 6 locations on the UNT campus
• 1 class quietly taking a written test

The end result is a beautiful set of recordings of quiet spaces that are still filled with texture and movement.

Available in two versions:

Full version:
• 24 bit, 96 kHz stereo wav files
• soundminer and bwav metadata tags
• photography
• 4.8 Gigabytes of sound
• 139 minutes of sound

Lite version:

Nature & Countryside Ambiences Forest Reverb – Outdoor Impulse Responses Play Track 134 sounds included, 6:41 mins total
Rated 4.00 out of 5
$25

Get a collection of 134 impulse responses – recorded in the forest.

What if, instead of going to the forest to record the sound, we can find a way to bring the characteristics of the forest to us? Say, for example, we have recorded a sound in the studio like the sound of chopping wood or foley footsteps, but we want them to sound like they are in the forest?

There is a way to emulate this. To make our source sound like it is, in fact, in a forest. The answer is to use the impulse response of the forest and one of the convolution reverb plugins for your DAW.

An impulse response of the forest (or “forest IR”), is the sum of reflections from trees, foliage and the ground by very short signal at high volume. For this sound library, I recorded different impulses in a stereo at different locations of the forest with perfect conditions. Also, the library includes alternate versions of these impulses for use in the processing of the sounds that are far away from the listener.

Note: Requires a convolution reverb plugin
– here are some free options:

For using these impulse responses, you need a convolution reverb plugin (not included). The library can be used with the built-in convolution plugins in many DAWs like ProTools, FL Studio amd Sony Vegas, and there are other commercial options on the market, but costs can be high. For starters, you can use a free convolution reverb from the following

LiquidSonics’ Reverberate LE (Win)
SIR by Christian Knufinke (Win)

A wide choice of IR’s will allow you to choose the most appropriate nuanced impulse response for your material. As you gain more experience with this forest IR, you will find that you can quickly adjust the ratio and volume level for wet and dry channels and effectively use other options of convolution reverb. This powerful forest reverb emulation will be incredibly effective for your sounds.

TESTIMONIALS & BUYERS COMMENTS

“I had a Tesla in a show and realized I had no Tesla library – This kit got the job done perfectly – Thanks Rick!

-Jonathan Lipman, MPSE
Sony Pictures: “The Good Doctor” network TV series

“Rick’s TESLA SFX library was a life-saver for us on Season 2 of HBO’s Divorce, especially since Tesla demands that ONLY authentic Tesla sounds be used whenever their vehicles appear in a scene! Rick’s FX gave us that authenticity. Very valuable resource. Thanks Rick!”

– David Briggs
Supervising Sound Editor, HBO “Divorce”

“Hey Rick! Awesome job on the Tesla library! Literally minutes after downloading, I cut one of the servos into a commercial I’m working on… I’m going to get a TON of mileage out of the wheel recordings. I feel like wheels are a really difficult sound to get a great recording of… All around great job!”

Wayne Pashley

Supervising Sound Editor/Re-recording Mixer, The Lego Movie & Mad Max: Fury Road

There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!

A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.

And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!

David Farmer

Sound designer:
Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit trilogies

We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.

The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.

I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
