  • City Life Sound Effects Audio Explorer: DOMINICAN REPUBLIC Play Track 39 sounds included, 125 mins total $39

    Nature and Urban Field Recordings From the Caribbean

    Immerse your audience in the rich and beautiful sounds of the coastal area of Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.

    Audio Explorer: Dominican Republic Sound Library brings you well over 2 hours of vibrant, detailed and deeply authentic sound recordings from various locations around the Dominican Republic, including lively and bustling city streets, the charming Independence Park and Umbrella Street areas, as well as various coastal and inland ambiences complete with wildlife, wind and vegetation.

    Going a little deeper into the content of this library, there are two different sound location approaches to cover all situations where the island’s life might need to be portrayed. On the one hand you get lively – or quieter – city and resort recordings, and on the other hand included are beach, inland and vegetation recordings at varying distances from water, groves, and dunes.

    In the more urban recordings, you’ll hear the sounds of everyday life, from the hustle and bustle of busy streets to the tranquil sounds of quiet alleys. You’ll hear the chatter of local life and in some recordings the sound of cars and motorbikes navigating the streets. In addition, the resort recordings offer a glimpse into the more peaceful side of Puerto Plata, with sounds of waves crashing on the beach, birds chirping, and the rustling of palm trees in the breeze.

Useful for ADR editors and sound effects editors alike, this library features a number of tones, background hums and ambience that will provide the perfect bed for set dialogue, ADR and replacing missing interior shots from set. Our room tone content also makes the perfect edition for sound editors looking to enhance the audio from set or create a realistic environment scene.

Various intensities of sea waves, tidal sounds, waves against man made features and natural shorelines are included along with inland rivers, streams and water features. Elements like dripping, trickling and splashing all add detail and enhance any background mix or ambience design that contains these visual attributes.
