    The Story

    We contacted a Ukrainian Field Recordist, Dmitiry, to record ambiences throughout Ukraine. We were both excited about the upcoming sound libraries and started discussing what to record and planning the sound libraries. The first sound library we wanted to start working on is the ambience of the metro stations in Kyiv. Dmitry could go on a few field recording sessions just a week before the Russo-Ukrainian War. Thank you, Dmitiry, for your excellent and hard work.

  • 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

    • soundminer and bwav metadata tags
    • photography

  • Nature & Countryside Ambiences Forest Reverb – Outdoor Impulse Responses Play Track 134 sounds included, 6:41 mins total $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.

  • This library features nearly 100 vocalizations from a recording session with a VO artist that has mastered the art of weird utterances and creature voices.

    You will find violent growls, grunts, sounds of pain, moans and groans, breaths, whispers, gargling, hisses, choking, growls and everything else you'd expect from a zombie, humanoid monster or demon.

    These sounds are also dry overall, with only minimal editing, and recorded at 96 kHz to allow you to continue to play around with them. The library features dual mono recordings with a set of two different microphones—one crispier and one warmer. If combined and panned, some create a stereo feel.

    Sounds are divided into 10 categories:

    Ambient/Breath • Choking • Gargle • Growls • Hiss • Moans • Panting • Snarl • Word / Phrase / Gibberish / Latin • Yell / Scream

    What’s the different between “nature roomtones” and “quiet nature” sound libraries? 

    Nature Roomtones: These are natural soundscapes with zero fauna, sparse flora, and sparse water. These recordings are location nonspecific because there is zero wildlife. As a result, these sounds can be used as a foundation for any natural environment you create.
    Quiet Nature: These are natural soundscapes with sparse fauna, sparse flora, and sparse water. These recordings are geographically linked to a place because of the wildlife present in the recordings.
