    Animal Sound Effects California Grassland Wildlife Play Track 95 sounds included, 227 mins total From: $120

    California Grassland Wildlife is a collection of 95 Stereo and 33 Quad Recordings 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.  Some other quieter ambiences are included as well.

    Most of the recordings from this library took place in The Carrizo Plain, an open expanse of Grassland that spans 50 miles long and 15 miles wide West of the Mojave Desert in California’s Central Valley.  It’s an arid area far from any towns, and a fairly harsh environment that most years gets very little rain.  A number of dirt roads go on for miles and stretch across the flat plain and hilly landscape, eventually leading up to the Temblor and Caliente Ranges.  Abandoned and weathered dilapidated remnants of old ranches, water tanks, barns, metal sheds, farm machinery, vehicles, and corrals from a bygone era of the west can be discovered if one ventures off the beaten path.

    At first glance, one wouldn’t think there’d be much wildlife out there, but I discovered it’s an area that 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.  

    Included are sounds from Dawn, Morning, Afternoon, Dusk, and late evening.  Perspectives vary from extremely close to medium and distant.  I’ve split out the sounds by species and more Active, Medium, Specific, in order to give a lot of flexibility when trying to use these sounds for projects.

    Barn Owls chirping overhead, the single rhythmic call of Bell’s Sparrows, the close hooting of Great Horned Owl’s, the constant cooing of Doves, Ravens slowly traveling over an open field, Finches swarming and providing quite the cacophony.  Detailed sounds of wings of birds and grasshoppers.  Coyotes howling in the distance.  It was a lot of fun putting this one all together.

    California Grassland Abandoned is the companion library to this one and is more focused on Ambiences, winds, and sounds from Abandoned Structures.

    Prominent Birds with multiple recordings

    Barn Owl, Bell’s Sparrow, Bullock’s Oriole, Cassin’s Kingbird, Common Nighthawk, Eurasian Collared-Dove, House Finch, Great Horned Owl, Mourning Dove, Raven, Say’s Phoebe, Western Kingbird

    Metadata

    All files have been carefully mastered.  Detailed Metadata and labeling of species has been provided so that all of the sounds are easily accessible.  Photos have been embedded with each file to help out with getting an idea of what birds are typical in particular landscapes.  UCS compliant, markers have been placed throughout the files to allow for quicker navigation.

  • 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

  • Bird Sound Effects Seagulls Play Track 28+ sounds included $35

    The Seagulls sfx library includes 28 tracks of both single, isolated seagull screams, and bigger flocks of nesting seagulls, calling out to each other and their chicks. There are plenty of classic call sounds, but also some weird throaty and raspy screaming, and what could sound like seagull laughing sounds.

    All tracks are recorded with the very useful zoom function of the Telinga microphone and dish.
    Library includes both untreated tracks, and noise reduction processed tracks in two separate folders. Noise reduction processed tracks have carefully been cleaned up with a CEDAR NR system.

    Though these birds are in an abundance around most harbours and industry around here, they are not always easy to record. You mostly hear them from a distance, or from places not easy to access. When you try to get close to them, they will usually fly away.

    Many hours have been spent on rooftops, gardens, backyards, a junkyard, and different harbours to get this material.
