    Insect Sound Effects Psychedelic Cicadas Vol. 2 Play Track 57 sounds included, 57 mins total $25

    Psychedelic Cicadas Vol. 2 is the second in our series of cicada ambiences produced in collaboration with César Rodriguez Pulido and Guile Martins.

    A huge variety of cicada species were recorded in Cerrado, Brazil for this series. The creatures’ unique pitches, tones and rhythms combine to form strange, beautiful choruses ideal for affective soundscapes, atmosphere design and abstract creations. These recordings are further enriched with the sounds of Cerrado denizens; birds, oxen, dogs, crickets, frogs and insects were captured during thunder and rain storms, in the forest and by a river.

    Recording by César Rodriguez Pulido and Guile Martins.

    Our Audio Craftsmen have carefully edited each sound for maximum sonic clarity so that you can drop each sound directly into your project timeline and get down to work with minimal fuss.

    All sounds are delivered in 24Bit 48kHz format allowing further sonic manipulation and have been meticulously edited and tagged with extensive UCS compliant metadata for ease of use.

    FOREST DAY is a diverse collection of 59 isolated Forest Ambiences and Wildlife Sounds.

    This library came out of a love for hiking and exploring Mountains and Forests and capturing the wonderful soundscapes of that world. Most of these recordings took place in California, in particular, a number of areas throughout the Angeles Forest. You’ll also come across sounds from high atop the Eastern Sierras, San Jacinto Wilderness, Los Padres Forest, as well as a few other Forests.

    A variety of different bird species are included, at lower elevation settings, higher Mountains, throughout the day, some in isolation, others sometimes alongside wind.

    Also included are isolated Mountain winds in different variations and with vegetation and tree creaks. There’s Cicadas and a few day crickets.

    Detailed metadata and markers have been provided so they’re easily searchable. Photos are embedded in every file to give an idea of what the location was like. Checking out the Metadata Sheet will give on a better idea of everything else that’s in the library.

    Anyone looking for more in depth Forest Sounds that include Rivers, Lakes, along with the Forest at night can pick up FOREST LIFE. That comes with multiple libraries at a bit of a discount along with the bonus mini library FOOTHILLS.

  • Animal Sound Effects California Grassland Bundle Play Track 160+ sounds included From: $190 From: $150

    The California Grassland Bundle includes two Libraries, California Grassland Abandoned and California Grassland Wildlife. The recordings from this library mostly took place in The Carrizo Plain, an open expanse of Grassland located West of the Mojave Desert in California’s Central Valley.

    California Grassland Abandoned recordings feature dilapidated remnants of old ranches, water tanks, barns, metal sheds, farm machinery, and corrals.  Many of these were far off the beaten path and a number of miles were logged along dirt and gravel roads.  The focus was to record things that had a lot of character.  Also included are calm, medium, and higher winds in metal sheds, small houses, barns, tall dry grass, and in some exterior locations out in the Plain.

    California Grassland Wildlife features of over 30 different species of birds that can be found in Grassland, Plains, and High Desert Environments.  Also included are a few recordings of Coyotes, Grasshoppers, Insects, along with some quieter ambiences.

    At first glance, one wouldn’t think there’d be much wildlife out in such a vast remote area, but I discovered the Grassland has quite a bit going on.  A lot of the old structures, along with the few areas with trees become the resting place and shelters for birds and animals.  Over a span of two years I made a number of trips to this location trying to capture as much of the local wildlife as I could.

    More info on both libraries can be found by clicking on the Individual links.

  • Animal Sound Effects More Eurasian Animals – Big Bugs to Wildcats Play Track 1000+ sounds included $92

    This library mostly consists of isolated mammal, bird, amphibian & insect sounds from Europe recorded close up in nature or at rewilding shelters.

    While all animals have been recorded in Germany, many inhabitat places all around the world, from Asia to Africa and America.

    I already released three libraries with Eurasian animals and they are also available as a bundle with this library.

    Eursian Birds

    Eurasian Insects

    Eurasian Mammals

    This library adds isolated recordings of animals that have not been very present in my other libraries of living creatures. I did record some big bugs (stag beetle, violet carpenter bee, maybug…), some bad-tempered european wildcats and rare birds (bald ibis, eagle owl, little owl…). Also I included lots of frog and toad recordings with species that are seldom heard nowadays as well as more common species. There is a couple of juvenile animals (nutria, mute swan, house sparrow,…) in here too.

    It is a perfect library not only for nature documentaries or other realistic sound design, but as everything was captured in high sample rates up to 192kHz, it can be used as unique source sounds for dinosaurs, aliens, monsters, zombies, fictional animals and creatures or even for weird machines.

    Some animals can not be fully represented by single sounds, so I added some nature ambiences, like a rich frog chrous or a busy flock of starlings.

    List of animals:

    Midwife Toad, European Treefrog, Natterjack Toad, Common Toad, Edible Frog, Pool Frog, Marsh Frog, Yellow Bellied Toad, Carp, Bechsteins Bat, Common Noctule, Lesser Noctule, Daubentons Bat, Bees: Anthophora plumipes, Anthophora bimaculata, Andrena nigroaenea, Megachile pilidens, Melitta haemorrhoidalis, Osmia adunca, Violet Carpenter Bee, Bugs: Greater Stag Beetle, Maybug, Plagionotus arcuatus, Bumblebee: Bombus pascuorum, Bombus sylvarum, Red Tailed Cuckoo Bee, Flys: Calliphoridae, Big Fly, Moth: Large yellow underwing, Wasp: European Hornet, European Wasp, Sphex, Mammals: European Wildcat, Giant Otter, Nutria, Racoon, Reindeer, Wolf, Carrion Crow , Eurasian Magpie, Jackdaw, Canada Geese, Common Moorhen, Coot, Eurasian Wigeon, Greylag Goose, Mallard, Mute Swan, Rock Ptarmigan, Ruddy Shellduck, Water Rail , Black Woodpecker, Common Crane , Green Woodpecker, Grey Heron, Quail, Ring Necked Pheasant , Wood Pigeon, Boreal Owl, Caucasian Eagle Owl , Eagle Owl, Eurasian Kestrel, Harris Hawk, Little Owl, Long Eared Owl, Peregrine Falcon, Tawny Owl, Black Headed Gull, Aquatic Warbler, Bald Ibis, Barn Swallow, Blue Tit, Corn Bunting , Dunnock, Eurasian Blackbird, Eurasian Jay, Eurasian Treecreeper, European Starling, Golden Oriole, Greenfinch, House Sparrow, Long Tailed Tit, Marsh Tit, Mistle Thrush, Red Backed Shrike, Red Thrush, Reed Bunting, Wren, Rose Ringed Parakeet

  • Animal Sound Effects Forests and Mountains Play Track 96+ sounds included, 220 mins total $110

    Forest and Mountains features nature and wildlife sounds from California, Washington, and Oregon.  Included are a number of bird recordings and forest ambiences, along with some insects, winds, rivers, and rain.  

    These were recorded over the past three years in various forests, foothills, and mountain environments.   A lot of these took place in or near Southern California’s Angeles Forest and San Gabriel Mountains, an area that spans 1200 Square Miles and varies vastly in terrain.

    Also included are some sounds from Northern California, along with recordings from the Pacific Northwest.

    The recording techniques for this varied as sometimes I went with the recorders running unattended to capture night, dawn and early morning.  Other times I’d record while being close by.

    Working as a Sound Effects Editor I’ve curated this collection with Editors in mind.  Background Ambiences and Spotted FX can really bring a location to life and give it so much story and character and that was a lot of the inspiration behind putting this all together. 

    Forests and Mountains

     

    The Locations

    California (61 Files) – This is where a majority of the sounds from this library were recorded and specifically Southern California.  Variety of areas and different environments, mostly around Angeles Forest, from Lower Elevation Foothills to more rugged mid-elevation Mountain Canyons and then much Higher Elevation and more remote terrain.  Also included are a few recordings from the Eastern Sierras and Northern California.

    Washington (19 Files) – Southern WA in Gifford Pinchot Forest and various Northwest Forest areas near Puget Sound.

    Oregon (16 Files) – Lakeside Recordings in forest and marsh at Klamath Lake in SE Oregon.

    Metadata
    Detailed with descriptions and markers and photos to easily navigate and allow for options when searching.  UCS was used to categorize and various bird species are identified.  I’ve also labeled the metadata with what I consider Lower Elevation (up to 1500 feet), Middle Elevation (2000-5000 feet), and Higher Elevation (above 5000 feet).   Included are the season of the year which was mostly Spring and Summer.  Using Open-Tier in Soundminer you can use these to help get a bit more specific to particular environments.

  • Animal Sound Effects Maldivian Crickets Play Track 13+ sounds included $45

    Crickets. A lot of crickets. It was quite a deafening experience recording this.

    I’ve captured increments with a handheld ORTF pair of Sennheiser 8040s on a boom pole pointing at the loudest sound source and then switched to 2 DPA 4060s that recorded throughout the night. This offered a bit of variation in the intensity of sound and quantity of crickets performing for you that night. You can hear occasional tropical birds towards the morning.

    The library offers around 6 hours of audio and I’ve also cut below 1.7 kHz & 4 kHz to offer a bit more isolation for crickets. This is done on separate takes as an option.
